Build me up

In exactly 8 days, this pile of scaffolding will become the centre of the UK music scene.

Whether you prefer Paulo Nutini or Ed Sheerin, Pharrell Williams or Paul Weller, Biffy Clyro or The Arctic Monkeys, Jake Bugg or Calvin Harris, they will be right here.
Even after 18 years I'm still slightly amazed that this all happens less than 2 miles from my front door.

Although this will be the last time.
