Inside The O2's 'year of two halves' | IQ Magazine
VP and general manager Steve Sayer tells IQ about the London venue's plans for the year ahead following a strong finish to 2022
www.iq-mag.netDirect answer: The O2 in London has been back in operation after storms damaged the roof in 2022; in 2025–2026, it has continued hosting events and reporting strong attendance, with ongoing maintenance and upgrades to spaces and fan experience.
Context and latest details:
- The most widely covered recent developments around The O2 concern ongoing event programming, capacity metrics, and facility enhancements rather than major structural incidents. For example, coverage around late 2024 into 2025 highlighted record activity and ongoing investments in premium spaces and guest experience.[3][4]
- The venue remains a key London entertainment hub, with a busy schedule across concerts, family events, and other large-scale gatherings, aided by its integrated leisure complex (restaurants, cinema, Up at The O2) that keeps the site active between shows.[2][5]
- If you’re seeking the very latest single-event updates (today’s shows, closings, or last-minute reschedules), I can pull the current listings from The O2’s official site or local London entertainment sources. Would you like me to check today’s schedule and any recent announcements?
Examples of sources you can verify:
