Live Fest is a bi-annual music festival that takes place at The O2 in London. Programming took place over five stages within The O2, including Proud2, Inc Club, and the IndigO2. The O2 Arena is the second largest arena in the UK, and in 2008 it took the crown of the world's busiest music arena from the MEN Arena. During the festival the IndiO2 stage is dedicated to emerging and unsigned UK musicians with the Grand National Finales of the Live and Unsigned and Open Mic UK music contests. The Live and Unsigned finale occurs in mid-summer, while Open Mic UK typically occurs in January. The next Live Fest has been announced as 21 January 2012. The mascot for the festival is a green alien called Bob. Prominent genres of music at the festival include urban, pop, rock, and hardcore. According to Irwin Sparkes, the festival's headlining lineup for pop acts is particularly strong.
