We've had an exclusive tour of Dubai's new Coca-Cola Arena at City Walk, before it opens its doors to the public on June 6.
It's dubbed as the first fully-enclosed and climate-controlled entertainment arena, which can accommodate up to 17,000 spectators.
The arena has 3,870 sqm of floor space, with a huge variety of stage configurations and a multipurpose drape reduction system.
The sophisticated design of the arena’s roof allows it to hold a whopping overall weight load of 190 metric tonnes, which means it will be able to accommodate light and visual effect shows from some of the biggest and best productions in the world with ease.
Comedian Russell Peters will be the first to perform on June 6, followed by American music superstars Maroon 5 on June 14.
Accessibility is another key area, with multiple access and egress points allowing guests to come and go with ease, including 28 wheelchair spaces and companion seats.
The result of a unique collaboration between Dubai-based developer, Meraas, Coca-Cola and international venue management company AEG Ogden, the Coca-Cola Arena is set to change the face of live events in the Middle East.
