London's O2 Arena has levelled up to The O3 for Drake's seven-date residency
Drake's seven-date residency kicking off tonight has resulted in The O2 Arena upgrading their name to The O3.
The Canadian rapper is hosting seven shows at London's O2 Arena, starting tonight (1 April), and the venue has celebrated his arrival by changing the name to The O3 Arena.
Replying to someone who had spotted the name change on Twitter, O2 Music wrote, "We’re following God’s Plan. Just for Drake, we’ve turned The O2 into The O3. #DrakeTheO3."
