Aviva Arena confirmed as Bristol's new live events venue - in an old Concorde hangar
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"Bristol's forthcoming events venue has been officially named the Aviva Arena, which is set to host 20,000 spectators for indoor music, sport and other entertainment occasions. Set to open in late 2028, it is estimated that more than 2,000 jobs will be created during construction, with a further 500 permanent roles required after opening. The arena will be housed in one of three former Concorde hangars at Brabazon, with the wider complex, including the other two hangars, owned and run by YTL Live."
"At the Aviva Arena in particular, over 120 events are expected to be hosted each year, with the entertainment venue projected to contribute in excess of 1bn to the local economy over its first ten years of operation. Chancellor Rachel Reeves said: Aviva and YTL's landmark sponsorship commitment is a powerful endorsement of the UK as a world-class place to build, to do business and to grow exactly the kind of long-term investment this government is backing"
The Independent solicits donations to fund on-the-ground reporting across reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech while keeping reporting accessible without paywalls. The outlet investigates topics such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and produces documentaries like 'The A Word', which highlights American women fighting for reproductive rights. Donations enable continued deployment of journalists to cover multiple perspectives and support trust across the political spectrum. Bristol's new Aviva Arena will sit in a former Concorde hangar at Brabazon, host 20,000 spectators, stage over 120 events annually, create more than 2,000 construction jobs plus 500 permanent roles, and is projected to add over £1bn to the local economy in its first decade.
