New Plans For Edinburgh Venue Announced By Firm Behind O2 Arena
AEG Europe is seeking planning approval for an 8500‑capacity indoor arena at Edinburgh Park for live music and entertainment, following developer Parabola’s agreement to sell the site to AEG.
Visitors to the venue will be able to avail themselves of the unrivalled public transport and motorway access, including two tram stops within an easy walk, two mainline stations, plentiful bus connections and excellent motorway links, the site in west Edinburgh is extremely well positioned to become home to the new live entertainment venue.
Alex Hill, president and CEO of AEG Europe, said: “AEG is thrilled to announce this spectacular new arena for Edinburgh.
“It’s a location with immense potential, amplified by Parabola’s transformative development and regeneration of Edinburgh Park.
“The much needed 8,500‑capacity arena will bring world‑class live music and entertainment to Edinburgh, further cementing its reputation as a destination for culture and global tourism.
“We look forward to this development becoming an integral part of the local community and complementing one of the best cities in the world for the arts and live entertainment.”
Cammy Day, Edinburgh council leader, added : “Great to see plans for an Edinburgh Arena at Edinburgh Park. Great opportunity for Edinburgh. Looking forward to consultation and plans being submitted.”
The preliminary application has been posted on the Edinburgh council website. Public consultations are being held on December 4th and January 9th from 3pm‑7pm at 1 New Park Square.
If approved, work is expected to begin in early 2025 with the first live events taking place in 2027.
