Live Nation snagged Royal Arena from Realdania and Copenhagen City after running the 17,000-capacity Danish venue since it opened back in 2017. The concert giant plans to drop cash on upgrades like rooftop solar panels, full LED lighting conversion, and battery storage systems that should save over 800,000 kilowatt-hours annually once the deal closes next year.
The arena has pulled acts like Billie Eilish, Justin Timberlake, and Olivia Rodrigo since Metallica kicked things off at the opening show. Live Nation already operates venues across Europe and recently grabbed a New Zealand festival producer plus a bigger stake in Mexican promoter OCESA, but Belgian regulators are currently investigating the company's Pukkelpop festival acquisition over competition concerns.
