Nestled within our stunning Queen’s Park campus in London, our purpose-built 100+ capacity venue regularly hosts a range of exciting gigs and networking events.
ICMP’s brand-new 100+ capacity venue at our London Queen’s Park campus is regularly used for events, teaching and social activities. Even if you’ve chosen to study music in Liverpool or Leeds, all ICMP students have access to our groundbreaking facilities in London and are welcome to attend upcoming events and occasions at our Queen’s Park live music venue.
Kindly sponsored by our industry partners:
Live music and student events
Throughout the year, a variety of engaging activities take place in this space. From informative masterclasses and captivating showcase gigs to pivotal networking events and cultural celebrations, there's always something happening.
Teaching
On weekdays, the space is used to host live performance workshops and live sound engineering classes. Additionally, our London-based BA (Hons) Live Event Management students use the venue to host their own events, gaining practical experience that contributes to their coursework.
The latest recording technology from Dante
We’ve invested more than £20k fitting out our Queen’s Park campus with Dante, a system that allows you to record from our stage directly into any of our on-campus state-of-the-art recording studios.
Dante is the evolution of AV systems, converging all previous connection types into one. Performance is second to none: all Dante audio is 100% lossless 24- or 32-bit, and sample rates from 44.1 kHz to 192 kHz are supported.
Student café
Adjoining our live music venue in London is our buzzing student café – a comfortable well-lit space providing students with a place to relax, socialise and refuel. Competitively priced food and drinks are available, including artisan coffee, independently roasted in London, and homemade organic produce like toasties and organic soups. The menu changes regularly and daily ‘meal deals’ are available, with prices similar to your favourite supermarkets.
