Edinburgh is one of few European capital cities without an indoor arena.[2] In 2019, Lothian Leisure Development and NEC Group published a proposal to build a large music venue and conference space in the city.[3] The OVO Hydro in Glasgow hosts a maximum capacity of just over 14,300, and Aberdeen's P&J Live once hosted an event with 15,000 attendees.[4]
The location of the current proposal for an 'Edinburgh Arena' is a 30-acre site in greenbelt land near Loanhead.[5]
