LG Arena boosts capacity

6 August 2009 by Leanne Bell

LG Arena in Birmingham has been given the go-ahead to expand its capacity.

The property has received permission to add 2,000 seats, giving it maximum capacity for 16,700 delegates, which it claims will make it one of the UK's largest arenas.

Miley Cyrus, Green Day and Depeche Mode are among the confirmed acts to feature in the LG Arena Opening Season, which runs from 7 October to 31 December and marks the completion of the expansion.

LG Arena rebranded last September following a sponsorship deal with LG Electronics.
