Picture your local supermarket during a holiday rush. Now imagine that supermarket had a rock concert with a light show and a confetti cannon. That’s about how many people fit into The O2.

Or think of your favorite beach on a sunny Saturday. All those families, kids with buckets, and sunbathers? That’s roughly 20,000 souls. Except at The O2, they’re all singing the same chorus instead of applying sunscreen.
I once took my cousin to see a pop star there. She spent half the concert texting her friends: “There are so many people here!” She wasn’t wrong—it’s like a moving, singing city block.
But what about the view?
You might worry that with 20,000 seats, you’ll need binoculars. But the arena is designed like a giant bowl, so every seat points at the stage. It’s not like a cinema where you’re squinting at a tiny screen.
From the top, the performers look like little action figures. From the front, they look like giants. Either way, you’ll feel the bass in your chest—even if you’re texting “I love this song!” to your mom.
And if you’re short like me? Grab an aisle seat. You’ll thank me when you don’t have to stand on tiptoe behind a six-foot-tall fan.
