Earlier this week, we revealed the new Apple Music Hall at the tech giant’s Battersea Power Station HQ.
Now Apple Music has announced its first run of shows at the venue, as well as some key partnerships.
Apple Music radio presenter and superstar artist Elton John is set to perform on the Apple Music Hall opening night (September 28), followed by shows from Baby Keem (October 2), Skye Newman (October 7), Troye Sivan (October 13), Arlo Parks (October 22), Burna Boy (October 29), Chase & Status (November 26) and Charli xcx (December 2).
Tickets for the first three shows go on sale on Monday (September 28) at 9am.
This line-up reveal follows the announcement for the opening of Apple Music Hall, a brand-new state-of-the-art live music venue in London’s Battersea Power Station, designed to connect artists and fans through bespoke, intimate performances.
Taking inspiration from the iconic Battersea Power Station, the new venue incorporates heritage brickwork, fluted arches and bronze balconies. A giant glass wall further enhances the visual connection with the historic building, offering a panoramic view of the concourse and the river beyond.
“The 600-capacity venue is designed intentionally to close the gap between intimacy and production value and allow for an unprecedented level of creative control,” said a statement. “Every seat feels close to the performer, yet the infrastructure offers what an artist requires for an arena tour, with a 38-foot-wide stage that can be reconfigured for traditional front-facing sets or more in-the-round experiences.”
Additionally, the venue is equipped with a 48-speaker spatial sound system positioned all around the audience.

Behind the stage, Apple Music Hall operates as a full production facility. Two dedicated recording and mix studios are built to professional standards so that every performance can be captured as a multitrack recording and mixed in Spatial Audio, live or after the fact.
The venue is also hardwired for 16 or more cameras that feed a purpose-built broadcast control room with infrastructure that supports iPhone video capture running in parallel alongside traditional broadcast cameras.
Apple has partnered with independent UK promoter Communion ONE to support bookings and promotion for Apple Music Hall.
“Apple Music Hall is a fantastic venue, like nothing fans will have ever seen before,” said Mazin Tappuni, a managing director at Communion ONE. "The production quality is world class, livestreaming to fans across the world, from a live room where every square foot has the artist and their fans in mind.”
Live events at Apple Music Hall will be powered by ticketing platform Dice.
“Partnering with Apple Music Hall is a perfect fit for Dice,” said Dice CCO Andrew Foggin. “The thought and attention to detail that has gone into every aspect of the venue is clear to see, and is in total alignment with our ethos of ensuring fans have the best possible experience when discovering and attending shows.”
