In 2014, it was voted the ‘Best New Venue in the World’ at the Stadium Business Awards. For an arena it’s size, it’s quite unique to have a “theatre style” configuration where all seats are facing the stage. The design and acoustics makes it ideal for hosting music concerts compared with more traditional arena layouts.

Events include:
- Sir Elton John
- Bruce Springsteen
- Michael Bublé
- Gary Barlow

- Queen + Adam Lambert
- Fleetwood Mac
- Bette Midler
