OVO Arena, Wembley Concerts 2025

Went to a concert in summer 2023. Was well managed. Was in the floor standing area but the floor is not sloped so would prefer the seated gallery next time even if that means being further from the stage. Not such a huge venue so actually feels closer to the stage. Good sound and atmosphere.

I came here to see Michael McIntyre's "Macnificent" tour, which was hilarious and very enjoyable. The venue was really nice, with ample toilets (for men, at least) and not too bad queues at bars. The venue temperature was good, being reasonably cool despite the very hot temperatures outside. Would happily return here for other events.

This is a massive space. You can easily get from your seats to the toilets or to the bar. Drinks are allowed in from the bar. I was there for one voice in a million. It was a great event with around 6000 children participating surrounded by family. The queue to get in was quick moving and we had no problems finding seats, moving around - all good!

Went to see Slash. The venue is a good size, not too big and not too small. Had the VIP Lounge option: good thing is you get a separate entrance and don't have to queue to enter the venue. The lounge is cool but not worth the price (45£) as all you get is tables and service but you don't get a drink and snack (even though I thought the purchase precised it?). I went to the concert alone and there was a drunk person in front of me who was dancing and annoying a whole section as he was blocking their view. The security took time to handle the situation which made me feel unsafe as people wanted to fight him several times. My neighbour became my concert buddy and reassured me, so, thanks to you, stranger from the N section. There was a football match that day at Wembley Stadium next door so I left a bit earlier to avoid the 90.000 people at the metro station. It was still packed and took me 20 minutes to get there. That's something to plan if you have a connection train to take.

Screens could have been bigger and if seated on the sides you couldn't really see them. Sound wasn't the best but easy to get around and good leg space in seating. Pre order food and drink wouldn't work and had to pay full prices. When asked about this they said it doesn't apply to all gigs. Staff were good.
