#TOMTECH

An in-house programme that bridges the gap between traditional performance and new technology.

As the pace of technological development accelerates, we asked ourselves what our role as a venue will be in the years to come, and how will audiences want to enjoy the arts in the future? To answer this, we created #TOMtech. We want to encourage both audiences and artists to embrace the latest developments in Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), motion capture, 360-film and more.

#TOMtech will return in 2024!

Our latest #TOMtech project

We’ve been asking ourselves, “How can we push the boundaries of live performance and make our events even more immersive?”

To answer this, we’ve created a brand-new Immersive event format in our space. Audiences will enjoy their favourite artists and performers, all whilst surrounded by 360º of breathtaking visuals.

Artists who have performed in this space to date include:

Fatboy Slim
Halina Rice
Phil Hartnoll (Orbital)
Elijah
and more!

We are always working to improve our space - keep an eye out for these immersive events in future and be a part of the evolution of live performance.
