Manchester Apollo Theatre

Manchester Apollo Theatre

The Manchester Apollo Theatre is located in Manchester, UK. Constructed in 1930, it originally served as a cinema, inaugurated by the renowned 1930s actress Margaret Lockwood. In the 1970s, during a slump in the film industry, it shifted focus to becoming a performance venue and eventually evolved into the theatre it is today.

The Manchester Apollo Theatre has two levels, featuring a striking red ceiling and sloped floor that give the feeling of stepping into a time tunnel. The theatre includes permanently installed seating on the balcony level, with a capacity of up to 3,500 for performances — including 2,514 standing spots, 986 seats, and the ability to host seated events for 2,693 people. Many famous singers and bands have performed here, such as Kylie Minogue, Tracy Chapman, Bob Marley, Lady Gaga, The Beatles, The Jam, Oasis, and more. Renowned Chinese singer Eason Chan also held a solo concert at this venue.
