Bon Jovi will become the first act to play the reopened venue on June 24. The healthy ticket sales will help lay to rest memories of the
ill-fated Dome.

The giant structure in Greenwich, south-east London, turned out to be an enormous white elephant for the Blair government. David Campbell, chief executive and president of O2 owners AEG Europe, said: "This achievement speaks for itself. We've got London's newest
state-of-the-art venue, with the world's most exciting artists all wanting to perform here - and the public flocking to see them.

"I know that when people experience the O2 they'll come back again and again to enjoy more world-class concerts, events and exhibitions." The venue has undergone a £600 million redevelopment and the 20,000-seater arena will play host to music, entertainment and sporting events.

The eagerly-awaited Tutankhamun exhibition will open there in November. The O2 is also an official venue for the 2012 Olympics, hosting
gymnastics and basketball. While gig-goers elsewhere have to put up with plastic glasses of warm beer, the venue hopes to provide a superior experience by serving premium lager chilled to four degrees.
