Leeds First Direct Arena Prepares For Opening

Excitement continues to build as the long awaited opening of the £60m arena in Leeds is set to open with the first act on stage being a concert from none other than US Rock Superstar Bruce Springsteen. It’s a rare occasion but the building has been built on time and on budget and its ready to welcome many world class acts to the city of Leeds. Teams of special volunteer city ambassadors are getting ready to be on hand to greet people arriving at the railway and bus stations given them information on how to get to the arena or general information about Leeds.

A total of 7,721 parking spaces within a 15 minute walk of the arena they are definitely preparing for a large amount of people to be attending “The Bosses” performance. The 120 million albums he has sold worldwide make him a more than worthy act to open this new beautiful arena. Fans from all over the UK and possibly the world will pack into the arena hopefully filling its capacity and making the first direct arena’s first night a memorable one.

If you don’t already know, Bruce Springsteen is an American singer-songwriter who is known for his heartland rock and poetic lyrics. He is a legend of the circuit and has been preforming at concerts since the 1970s, he is one of the biggest rock stars of all time ranked 23rd greatest artist of all time in the Rolling stones. He has 20 Grammy awards, two golden globes and an Academy award to his name, made famous for albums like Born to Run and Born in the USA its almost certain he will be rocking the packed arena tonight in Leeds as devoted fans flocked to secure their tickets with his next 3 dates on his tour already sold out.

Having worked in the car rental industry for over 15 years, he really knows his stuff. Rob heads up our marketing department and as a keen traveller, always has a new location to talk about. Particularly if there is a golf course nearby.
