The O2 has now got an awesome exhibition called the British Music Experience – it’s an interactive walk through the history of music that made this country great – as they say:
Whether you’re more of a ‘Wannabe’ than a ‘Living Doll, prefer ‘Anarchy in the UK’ to ‘Life on Mars’ or you’re feeling ‘Supersonic’ or like a ‘Puppet on a String’, from Trad Jazz to Happy Hardcore you can take your own trip through British music history.
Using state of the art effects and iconic memorabilia we show how rock, pop, dance and other genres were formed and have influenced the last sixty years of British culture. From the classic era defining sounds of The Beatles, Rolling Stones and Dusty Springfield… to stadium filling giants like The Who and Queen… to the irresistible anarchy of bands like The Specials and Sex Pistols… right up to recent crowd-pleasers such as Spice Girls, Oasis, Coldplay, Arctic Monkeys and more.
Along your journey you can step into interactive audio visual spaces that explore great British music moments throughout history, you can witness fascinating one-off interviews between the biggest stars, see an awe inspiring display of famous artefacts “come to life”, record songs, learn instruments, bust moves on the dance floor and even feel what it is like to perform at a virtual concert.
Sounds good doesn’t it?! I personally will be making my way over there as soon as my leggies can carry me – and as an O2 sub, I’d spend a while to have a look round the cool O2 shop there too 🙂
