Apollo Theater

The legendary Apollo—the soul of American culture—plays a vital role in cultivating emerging artists and launching legends. Since its founding, the Apollo has served as a center of innovation and a creative catalyst for Harlem, the city of New York, and the world. A complete renovation in 2005 restored the Apollo’s Mainstage Auditorium to its storybook, turn-of-the-century elegance. With its 1,500 seats, state-of-the-art capacities, all-new sound system and extensive roster of support services, it is an ideal venue for performances, public forums, fashion shows, television or photo shoots, private fundraising events, weddings and graduations. Some of the biggest stars and biggest brands on the world stage have rented the Apollo. Create your own one-of-a-kind experience on one of the world’s most iconic stages. Host concerts, fashion shows, galas, cocktail receptions, film & commercial shoots, meetings and more!
