About this venue
AO Arena is Manchester's largest indoor arena, built in air-rights space above Victoria Station and open since 1995. Operated by ASM Global, it seats up to 21,000 for concerts, comedy, boxing and family shows, and has hosted U2, The Rolling Stones, Madonna and Peter Kay's record-breaking residency.
A £50m redevelopment added premium hospitality, including The Mezz - a members' suite, bar and restaurant on the mezzanine level overlooking the bowl, with the Beautiful North, AO Electric Lounge and Heineken Lounge areas - and the Heineken Sky Lounge.
