All 20 acts confirmed for Watford Colosseum after reopening
Jools Holland and Simon Reeve are among the latest acts to be added as Watford Colosseum's early line-up takes shape.
With the Rickmansworth Road venue, which has been vacant since 2020, set to reopen later this year, 02 Arena managers AEG Presents have been arranging more events to fill out its calendar.
At the end of 2024, the list of acts signed on to perform once refurbishment is finished towards the end of this year stood at just nine, but it has since more than doubled to 20.
