On 31 December 2009, Ministry of Sound and AEG Live will host a live music event at the world famous The O2 arena in London to celebrate New Years Eve 2009, a show that is set to be one of the biggest New Year's Eve parties to take place in Europe.

Ministry of Sound Live 09 will offer revellers all night entertainment with nine hours of music accompanying spectacular visuals especially created for the event. A unique production policy will transform the arena via multiple stages, breathtaking lighting, pyrotechnic displays and an aerial walkway that will see artists and entertainers performing along an LED lit stage high above the crowd.

Massive LED curtains will also feature the largest number of LED batons ever used by any act to offer a truly unique visual sensation.

The DJ stage will offer a 360 degree experience for the artists and the event goers, acting as the main body of a massive eight legged lighting rig that will move and expand as the night draws closer to midnight

For the midnight moment a bespoke pyrotechnic display will be unveiled programmed to Calvin Harris's set offering the audience an unforgettable experience as they see in 2010.

Two of the most powerful forces in music entertainment coming together for one night only to present a never seen before live music event that will combine a selection of the UK's most successful artists with imaginative and theatrical DJ sets.
