About First Direct Arena

Leeds was previously one of the only major cities in the UK without an arena to host large events. In 2013, First Direct Arena opened. The name comes from First Direct bank, who are sponsoring the venue until at least 2023. The arena is purpose-built in a fan shape so all the seats are facing the stage. This means that seats further away are still closer than in other arenas with four sides of seating. The maximum capacity of the venue is 13,500, or 12,500 for seating-only events. The first act to ever play at the arena was Bruce Springsteen. Since opening, the arena has hosted a variety of shows including music, comedy, and sports.
