Live Odyssey is London’s newest immersive music experience, taking fans on a journey through six decades of British music history. Opening in May 2024 in the heart of Camden, this groundbreaking attraction is a fusion of live performance, cutting-edge technology, and interactive exhibits, celebrating the artists and anthems that shaped the UK’s musical legacy.
Blending the energy of a live gig with the storytelling of an exhibition, Live Odyssey offers a unique, multi-sensory adventure. Guests will step into six different rooms, each dedicated to a defining musical era—from the rebellious rock of the ‘60s to the Britpop explosion of the ‘90s and today’s chart-topping hits. With a mix of holographic performances, unseen archival footage, and heritage items like David Bowie’s Glastonbury microphone and John Lennon’s Imagine recording leads, the experience brings music history to life in an electrifying new way.
A highlight of the launch is an exclusive holographic performance by The Libertines, filmed in part with their signature red military jackets. Featuring unseen behind-the-scenes footage, the installation captures the band’s raw charisma while embracing futuristic technology. Carl Barât sees it as a tribute to the music that shaped them and the fans who have supported them.
Alongside the immersive experience, Live Odyssey has partnered with Pop Nouveau, home to one of the world’s largest private music art collections. The exhibition will showcase iconic album covers, unseen photographs, and rare memorabilia, including The Lennon Wired Exhibition by artist James Wilkinson. Created using microphone leads from John Lennon’s Imagine sessions, the collection pays tribute to one of Britain’s most influential songwriters.
With a carefully curated lineup of live musicians reinterpreting classic hits, Live Odyssey is more than an exhibition—it’s a time capsule of British music, a tribute to its icons, and a must-visit for any music fan.
