I have been to the metro recently to see dizzee rascal, the prodigy, nickelback and black stone cherry. Loved every minute of every concert (apart from black stone) but the prodigy made the concert the best EVER and if there is ever another chance to see them again i would be there!!! i love the arena :)

In the last few months I've seen Slipknot and Metallica at the Arena and thought they were brilliant. Then Prodigy came along and blew them into the weeds. Dizzee Rascal warmed up the crowd with some really phat tunes and desrved more respect than the idiots throwing bottles at him. In fairness the crowd reacted well but nothing compared to the reaction Prodigy got. From the moment they came on stage, the pace never dropped. Mixing the best tunes from their new album with some old skool classics, they were out to please. The crowd was frenzied at the front and as you moved back through the floor, the audience became a heaving mass of raving loons. This was a hands in the air event not to be missed and it goes in the gig bank as an all time classic.

The most enthusiastic atmosphere of any concert

I went to the Metro Radio Arena to see Arcade Fire who were brilliant. The band just gave it 100% and brought so much energy to the stage. Would love to see them again! Prior to arriving at the arena we found this great indian restaurant (just 2mins walk from the venue)called sachins - would definitely recommend for pre-gig eating!
