Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park

Tue, 22nd Jan 13
First events scheduled in for the ex-Olympic Park in E20

After failing to do a deal with the Royal Parks Agency for continued use of their central London venues, Live Nation has moved their Hard Rock Calling and Wireless festivals to the new Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in East London. The move, which ends a ten year relationship, has opened the doors for AEG Live to contract to use the Royal Parks for their events.
