History

The venue was established in December 2006 on part of the former Royal Air Force base at Ta Kali which closed in 1968. It has since become the most successful venue in Malta. Prior to opening in Malta, the venue was used by Wembley Arena as a temporary concert venue whilst the main arena was undergoing refurbishment work during 2005 and 2006.[1][2]

Architecture

The venue is a Tension Fabric Structure and it has a total floor space of 7,000 m2 (8,400 sq yd) with a 17.5m apex.[3] The structure contains three RS Marquee Arches with a 20 tonne rigging capacity each. A bespoke removable track system means each six-metre wide arch can be moved along the length of the structure to provide overhead load-bearing capabilities in any position to accommodate the incoming production requirements.[2]

gollark: Citrons: BECOME Lyricly.
gollark: If we emit many photons at you, you absorb them and warm up. On the other hand, if we emit very specific photons at radiation which would otherwise be absorbed by you, they destructively interfere and you cool down as you continue emitting radiation yourself.
gollark: We can modify lyricly's temperature at will via photonics.
gollark: I can, but if I use it much people will complain.
gollark: Interesting.
