Arena Way, Leeds LS2 8BY
The First Direct Arena, in the Arena Quarter of Leeds city centre, opened in September 2013 and gave the city its first major indoor arena after decades without one. It was built in an unusual fan-shaped, super-theatre orientation rather than the conventional bowl, putting every seat closer to the stage; the longest sightline is around 68 metres. The flexible layout scales from 1,500 up to a maximum of roughly 13,500, and the honeycomb-patterned facade can change colour to suit the show. Bruce Springsteen played the first concert in July 2013 and Elton John the official opening in September. The room has since hosted a sweep of major names from Prince, Fleetwood Mac and Kylie Minogue to The Killers, alt-J, Foals and the Kaiser Chiefs, the local band who lent their voices to the long campaign for an arena in Leeds. It was named best new venue in the world in 2014.
