O2 Apollo Manchester, Music venue in Ardwick, England
The O2 Apollo Manchester contains two levels with a standing area downstairs and permanent seating in the upper section, accommodating 3,500 guests.
The venue opened in 1938 as a cinema with actress Margaret Lockwood attending the ceremony, and survived three Luftwaffe bombs during World War II.
The Beatles performed at the O2 Apollo Manchester in 1963 and 1965, marking the beginning of its transformation from cinema to music destination.
The main floor configuration changes between seated and standing arrangements depending on the type of performance scheduled for the evening.
The white terracotta Art Deco facade of the Grade II listed building stands as an architectural example from the 1930s entertainment era.
