The Manchester Apollo is a concert venue in Manchester. The venue sits in between Manchester’s two other major venues (the MEN Arena and Manchester Academy), being smaller than the Arena but larger than the Academy.

Locally known as ‘The Apollo’, it is a listed building with a capacity of 3,500 (2514 standing, 986 seats). It also hosts seated events to a capacity of 2,693. Split into two levels, the upstairs contains permanently fitted seating, whereas the larger downstairs can be altered to suit the event; both levels view a single concert stage. The venue has no air conditioning apart from in the ‘Whiteroom’ hospitality area (accessible only by those who have a Whiteroom credit card) and can get uncomfortably hot in warm weather. The Apollo operates a no smoking policy although you can still smoke in all areas outside of the auditorium itself.

The Apollo hosts a large number of primarily popular music based concerts and other events throughout the year. The venue can feel more intimate than the MEN Arena for both fans and artists, and recent years have sometimes seen successful bands perform at both the Apollo and the Arena on differing dates to create different atmospheres and reach different audiences.
