O2 Forum

Description
My latest (and last for a while) big asset; O2 Forum - Kentish Town.

O2 Forum is a concert venue in Kentish Town (northwest London). The venue was built in 1934 and was originally used as an art deco cinema. After the cinema was closed, the venue re-opened as an Irish dance hall. In the 1980s, it changed directions from a bingo hall, to dance hall then to a live music venue under the name Town & Country Club. In 1993, Mean Fiddler purchased the venue and renamed it the London Forum. The final show at the T&C was Van Morrison on 21 March 1993.

In 2007, MAMA & Company purchased the Forum from Mean Fiddler and spent £1.5 million on renovations, and increasing the capacity to 2,300. In 2015, the venue was acquired by Live Nation, and re-branded as O2 Forum Kentish Town, as part of the O2 Academy Group.

The venue has standing downstairs and benched seating in booths on the upstairs balcony, or a fully seated layout for certain shows.

I decided to make this building as part of my Kentish Town 1:1 build so expect to see some screenshots of that soon. This asset took wayyy longer than planned and due to the geometry took a lot more tris than my usual assets. I will be going back to smaller asset from now on as 70+ hours is a bit of a mission!

If you do like this asset then by all means please give me a thumbs up. And if you are giving me a thumbs down, at least give some feedback. Any issue, let me know, I will try and get right on it.

You could just unsub the mod I guess or accept the fact that mods do depreciate and have little effect to no effect to an asset but ok then 🤣🤣

I played at this venue...
Good job, especially the texture of the bricks is amazing (and looks almost as irl).

This building has remarkable resemblance to the Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto.
