London's Millennium Dome has been transformed over the last two-and-a-half years into a music and entertainment venue now called simply 'the O2'. This week silicon.com got a sneak preview of the new-look Dome.
The 23,000-seat arena has been built by AEG and is sponsored by mobile operator O2. The technology infrastructure for the venue was installed by NEC.
The arena will be opened this weekend by US rock band Bon Jovi, and 1.2 million tickets have already been sold for upcoming acts including Barbara Streisand, Prince and the Rolling Stones.
The venue will also host sporting events such as basketball and hockey and will have an undercover ice rink in winter and an artificial beach in summer.
