One of the most revered venues in the capital – which has undergone a slight name change in recent years – 3Olympia Theatre has hosted the iconic likes of James Brown, David Bowie, Radiohead, Blur, PJ Harvey, Suede, Manic Street Preachers, Pixies, Queens Of The Stone Age and much, much more. A wonderfully atmospheric room with impeccable sound, the venue is set to welcome plenty more heavy-hitters over the months ahead.

3Olympia Theatre was crowned Hot Press Live Music Venue of the Year at the recent IMRO Live Music Venue Awards.
