It’s a sizeable 3,800-capacity venue which will be located in Olympia in the West Exhibition hall, and the building’s glow up is part of a huge £1.3 billion transformation.
Later in the year, the venue will be teaming up with the EFG London Jazz Festival taking place in November. Confirmed acts include Branford Marsalis and Dianne Reeves who will be performing a set celebrating the great John Coltrane.
With live music ensues struggling and many cultural spots across the capital closing down over the last year, the new venue is certainly adding a bit of oomph into the area and for many Brits who can’t wait to sing themselves hoarse with thousands of strangers. The venue is just one part of the investment which is also set to include a new 1,575 seat theatre, new hotels, restaurants. bars, and office spaces.
