Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre, is a large exhibition and conference complex, in Aberdeen, Scotland. The complex is home to a Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express hotel, conference facilities and the 4,800-seat multi-purpose GE Oil and Gas Arena, which can hold around 4,000 to 8,500 people, depending on the size of the performance.
Oasis have played several times over the years – their first being two performances on the 19–20 September 1997. They returned for another two gigs on the 9–10 September 2002 and once more on the 12 December 2005. They performed their most recent, and probably last concerts at the venue on the 1–2 November 2008.
In September 2012, talks got underway to replace the 27-year-old arena with a new £20 million facility on the same site amid claims that the arena was missing out on big acts due its comparatively small 8,000-seat capacity.
