Despite officially opening the O2 Arena, rock band Bon Jovi were reportedly not the first act to play at the new venue.
According to reports, the former Millennium Dome saw Tom Jones, the Kaiser Chiefs and Peter Kay take to the stage the night before.
The concert was held for thousands of O2 workers and their friends and families.
Bon Jovi was initially due to be the first act to play at the new Wembley Stadium but the gig was cancelled because the stadium was yet to be finished.
Organisers at the O2 Arena had kept the concert a secret from the band prior to their performance.
