Since 1994 it has become best known as a music venue and has hosted such acts as The Bangles, Blur, David Byrne, Counting Crows, Sheryl Crow, Howard Jones, Kylie Minogue, and Radiohead. The Empire has a capacity of only 2,000, but it has been chosen as a venue for small gigs by such leading performers as David Bowie, Elton John, and The Rolling Stones.
