About Liverpool Arena#

Liverpool Arena is a multi-purpose indoor venue on Liverpool’s waterfront in England, forming part of the ACC Liverpool events complex. It hosts concerts, sporting events and large-scale public gatherings.

Facilities include a flexible main arena and attached exhibition and conference spaces that support a wide range of events from music to trade shows. The venue is integrated with nearby transport links and waterfront amenities.

The arena was built and opened in the early 21st century as part of a city-led redevelopment of the waterfront to provide modern event infrastructure. It has since been a principal large-capacity indoor venue for the Liverpool metropolitan area.

The complex sits on the Liverpool waterfront, close to central transport hubs and near cultural attractions along the River Mersey.

Opening and capacity: Opened in 2008, the arena has an audience capacity of around 11,000 for concerts and is part of the broader ACC Liverpool waterfront complex.
