Went to see Snowpatrol at the brand new O2 Arena last Thursday. I was lucky to pick up the tickets for only £15! They were special tickets that were made available for the workers who built the new complex and also for people in the local community. It was a good gig... I had forgotten that the band are actually from Northern Island, but quickly noticed their accents once they were chatting away between songs.
The O2 Arena is the old Millenium Dome, which was built at the start of the millenium. From what I understand it cost a lot of money to build, but never really had any visitors in the past so it just sat there as a 'white elephant' in the past. But now it has been redeveloped as massive entertainment centre, with the arena, and also restaurants, bars and cinemas. Its good that we have a venue like this so close to us...only 4 tube stops away in North Greenwich.
