AEG Presents UK has announced the name of its latest venue, British Airways ARC.
The 3,800-capacity venue, located above the existing west exhibition hall in Olympia, London, is set to open in 2026, and is a part of the larger £1.3 billion transformation of Olympia, London, which will also include a 1,575-seat theatre, 30 bars, restaurants, 2 hotels, and extensive office space.
Andrew Spencer, Chief Operating Officer of AEG Presents Europe, stated, “This is a pivotal moment as we open the diary for bookings and reveal the name of British Airways ARC. We’re delighted to be working with British Airways and as we take the next step towards opening all the teams are very excited. Olympia is a place that has an incredible musical history which we want to honour whilst creating a venue that is thoroughly modern with world class facilities for artists and fans alike.”
The site, originally built as an events and exhibitions venue, has a rich musical history with past performances by Jimi Hendrix, Rod Stewart, Primal Scream, The Cure and The Chemical Brothers.
