The venue, which secured its place in the rock ‘n’ roll history books after David Bowie killed off his Ziggy Stardust persona live on-stage there in 1973 (watch it below), has been restored to its former art deco glory by AEG Live.
Other bands and artists to have performed at the venue over the years include Rolling Stones, The Who, Bruce Springsteen, Queen, Prince, and The Beatles, who played 38 shows over 21 nights there in late 1964.
Pixies, Paul Weller, Nick Cave and Billy Joel all have shows lined up at the Eventim Apollo in the coming months.
The venue was renamed after the German ticketing company that co-owns the building with AEG. Work to transform the venue will continue over the next nine months as seats are reupholstered.
Colin Chapple, CEO of AEG Live, said: 'I am sure when you have time to look around or indeed come back to enjoy a concert or comedy night you will appreciate we have made real improvements in this first phase to what is one of London’s premier venues.'
