Welcome to American Airlines presents Empire Live at The O2!
Film and entertainment’s biggest weekend is coming, with the best cinematic experiences, held September 23-25 2016 at The O2, Greenwich.
Cineworld at the O2
We’re taking over a bunch of screens for a constant stream of movies and live events – some of which will be introduced by the filmmakers themselves. There will also be exclusive sneak peaks at footage from upcoming movies that you won’t be able to see anywhere else.
We will announce the full schedule of screenings soon so stay tuned.
Empire Hub at the Brooklyn Bowl
The Empire Hub at Brooklyn Bowl: The O2’s very own bowling alley will host the social and hangout space for the weekend. This is where the Empire Team will bring the magazine to life, with on-stage versions of ‘How Much Is A Pint Of Milk?' and a movie quiz, plus our nightly parties.
