AEG Europe, owners of iconic venue The O2, has announced plans for a major new investment in Edinburgh. The industry-leading promoter and venue operator is seeking planning approval for an 8,500-capacity arena in the heart of Edinburgh Park.
With unrivalled public transport and motorway access, including two tram stops within an easy walk, two mainline stations, plentiful bus connections and excellent motorway links, the site in west Edinburgh is extremely well positioned to become home to the new live entertainment venue.
Parabola, award-winning developers and site owners of Edinburgh Park, has agreed to sell the site for the new venue to AEG.
Alex Hill, President and CEO of AEG Europe said: "AEG is thrilled to announce this spectacular new arena for Edinburgh. It’s a location with immense potential, amplified by Parabola’s transformative development and regeneration of Edinburgh Park. The much needed 8,500-capacity arena will bring world-class live music and entertainment to Edinburgh, further cementing its reputation as a destination for culture and global tourism,. We look forward to this development becoming an integral part of the local community and complementing one of the best cities in the world for the arts and live entertainment."
