Overview
- The purpose-built music and events space sits above Olympia’s west exhibition hall and is scheduled to open in 2026 under AEG Presents UK.
- The booking diary is now open, with first performer announcements expected in the coming months and no official launch date yet confirmed.
- British Airways holds naming rights for the arena and the site’s new theatre, with loyalty perks such as early ticket access and Avios earning on selected purchases.
- AXS has been named the official ticketing partner for the venue.
- The arena is part of a wider scheme adding a 1,575-seat theatre targeted for 2027, around 30 bars and restaurants, two hotels, and extensive office space, following earlier pandemic delays and local planning objections.
