Over the last few years, the concert hall has become a major venue for touring acts and can hold approximately 3,000[1] people.
The Britpop band Oasis took their name after singer Liam Gallagher saw the name as a venue from an Inspiral Carpets tour poster. In 2011, twenty years later, he performed there for the first time with new band Beady Eye.[2]
