Belfast’s Landmark Millennium Project has now officially become The O2 Belfast. It was previously SSE Arena, Belfast.
“The milestone marks the start of a major 10-year naming rights agreement and signals the beginning of a historic new era for live events, sports, leisure, and visitor experiences,” said a statement.
Upcoming live music events include Megan Moroney (October 1), Stephen Wilson Jr (October 15), Duran Duran (October 18), Westlife (October 27-November 6), Niall Horan (November 15-16), and more.
Effective July 8, Priority members can access exclusive Priority Tickets for all newly announced shows at The O2 Belfast up to 48 hours before general release.
Situated in the heart of Belfast’s Titanic Quarter, The O2 Belfast is a multi-purpose destination that combines live entertainment, sport, education, dining and leisure.
At the heart of The O2 Belfast is Northern Ireland's largest indoor entertainment arena, with a capacity of up to 11,200. The O2 is also home to ice hockey team the Belfast Giants.
As The O2 Belfast, the site joins O2’s portfolio of 21 venues across 14 UK cities, which includes The O2 in London, alongside O2 Academy Brixton, O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, O2 Academy Glasgow and O2 Apollo Manchester.
