Brighton Dome

Brighton Dome is the south coast's premier multi-arts venue and conference venue at the cultural heart of Brighton's Royal Pavilion Estate. Each year, we present and produce over 600 events spanning music, theatre, dance, comedy, literature, spoken word, visual arts, film, digital and more.

Thanks to Lottery Funding, Brighton Dome closed for renovation in 1999 and was then officially re-opened three years later in Mar 2002 by Princess Anne with improved sight lines, a seating capacity of 1700 and with the stalls removable for extended performance space and an increased part standing capacity of 1860 .

Fifty years ago on 6 April 1974, ABBA made history on stage at Brighton Dome's Concert Hall as winners of the 19th Eurovision Song Contest, as their entry, Waterloo, scored 24 points and catapulted the Swedish pop sensations on to worldwide fame.
