THE O2 BELFAST

Project overview

The O2 Belfast is one of the UK and Ireland’s leading live entertainment and sports venues, welcoming up to 11,200 guests for concerts, Belfast Giants ice hockey games and major productions.

To modernise the arena bowl and elevate the guest experience, The Odyssey Trust commissioned a new digital display system capable of meeting the demands of both professional sport and live entertainment.

Merson Digital delivered a fully integrated solution combining more than 500sqm of Yaham LED, Navori CMS and a multi-sport scoreboard system.

Key information

  • More than 500sqm of 3.9mm Yaham LED
  • 200-metre LED ribbon
  • Four 55sqm corner scoreboards
  • Integrated Navori CMS and multi-sport scoreboard system

Built to perform for every game, concert and live event.

THE SOLUTION

A continuous LED ribbon now encircles the arena bowl, supported by four large-format scoreboards positioned at key sightlines. Together, they create a powerful digital platform visible from every seat.

Navori CMS provides central control of the entire display estate, making it simple for venue teams to schedule, update and distribute content. Its integration with the multi-sport scoreboard brings live game data, event graphics, fan engagement and commercial content into one coordinated workflow.

The system can run synchronised creative across the full arena or manage each display independently, giving operators the flexibility to tailor content to the event.

For Belfast Giants games, it delivers scores, live information, audience prompts and sponsor activations. For concerts and other productions, it extends event branding and visual content throughout the bowl.

The result is a versatile, easy-to-manage system that enhances the audience experience while creating valuable new opportunities for promoters, teams and commercial partners.

One connected system gives venue teams complete control across every event.

LED CANVAS

The centrepiece of the transformation is a 200-metre LED ribbon, measuring 1.5 metres high, which wraps around the full arena bowl.

Four 10-metre by 5.5-metre corner scoreboards provide additional large-format focal points, ensuring high-impact content can be seen throughout the venue.

Specified in high-brightness 3.9mm Yaham LED, the displays deliver clear, vibrant content across the arena’s varied lighting conditions and viewing distances.

Combined, the ribbon and scoreboards form an immersive digital canvas that transforms with each event, bringing the atmosphere closer to every guest and giving The O2 Belfast a platform built for the future.

High-impact LED brings every moment closer to every seat.
