The O2

AEG is one of the leading providers of live entertainment and sporting events in the world. We own and operate some of the world’s greatest arenas and theatres as well as a collection of companies dedicated to producing, promoting and presenting world-class live entertainment.

In partnering with O2 we have created the UK’s most exciting and technically advanced music, sport and entertainment destination. For an idea of what residents and visitors to London can expect from The O2, our owned and operated STAPLES Center in Los Angeles offers a realistic insight. The twice recognised Pollstar-CIC Arena of the Year hosts a range of prestigious sport and entertainment events all year round including the annual Grammy Awards, annual WTA Tour Championships, five professional sports franchises as well as major concerts and sporting championships.

Since opening nearly six years ago STAPLES Center has hosted concerts starring many internationally recognised acts including U2, Paul McCartney, Madonna, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, Eagles and The Rolling Stones.

As part of its international portfolio, AEG also owns, or part owns, a range of sporting franchises in the US and Europe, including basketball, ice hockey and American soccer teams. We also launched The David Beckham Academy in November 2005, one of the largest grass-roots sports initiatives ever to take place in the UK.

AEG employs more than 3,000 staff in over 45 operating companies worldwide. Our international head office is at STAPLES Centre, Los Angeles, our European headquarters is now based in London.
