AO Arena

Massive 21,000-capacity arena where the biggest names in music and sport come to play. The scale is genuinely breathtaking.

When you want to see the absolute biggest acts on the planet, this is where they end up. The sheer scale hits you the moment you walk in – 21,000 people all losing their minds to the same beat creates an energy that smaller venues simply can't match. Sure, you're not getting an intimate gig experience, but when Beyoncé or whoever's topping the charts rolls into town, the atmosphere becomes electric in a way that only massive crowds can generate. The acoustics are surprisingly decent for such a huge space, and the sight lines work better than you'd expect. It's arena entertainment at its most unapologetically big.
