Following official government advice issued on Monday, March 16, strongly urging people to avoid unnecessary travel and non-essential social contact including at pubs, clubs, theatres and other such entertainment venues, The O2, in collaboration with event promoters, has taken the decision to temporarily postpone events at the arena and indigo at The O2 until the end of March.

The wider campus of The O2 remains open whilst the venue actively seeks clarity from the UK government regarding its announcement and the impact the pandemic is likely to have upon it.

The O2 have said: "We take the health and safety of our guests and employees very seriously and we will continue to monitor the situation and the threat of COVID-19 globally with advice from the World Health Organisation and Public Health England, as well as that of the local government.

"It is our intention to re-commence the holding of events as soon as possible, following further government advice.

"The team at The O2 is working hard to provide alternative dates for these events and, where possible, we expect rescheduled dates to be confirmed over the coming weeks. Tickets will automatically be transferred to the rescheduled event date. Where an event cannot be rescheduled it will be cancelled and tickets will be refunded in line with the promoter’s ticketing policy.

"Thank you for your continued understanding and support during these extraordinary times."
