Tell me about yourselves...

Today, the newly rebranded LG Arena continues the legacy that The NEC Arena began, entertaining over one million visitors each year, we are one of the UK’s top arena destinations.

Work is well underway on creating brand new hospitality, bars, restaurants, improved backstage areas and extra seating that increases our arena’s capacity to 14,000.  These improvements ensure that our venue remains in the premier league of concert destinations whilst at the same time creating a legacy for future generations.
