O2, proud partner of England Rugby has unveiled the world’s largest projection. For the first time ever, The O2 has been transformed into a spectacular canvas for 3-D projection mapping light shows, designed to inspire fans all over the world to tweet their messages of support and get behind the England Rugby team.

Ahead of the biggest tournament in English rugby history, million album selling soprano and England Rugby official singer Laura Wright, launched the projection with a stirring rendition of Jerusalem from the roof of the iconic venue. England Rugby’s leading lady was surrounded by a patriotic 3-D projection mapping light show, matched to each lyric and verse, culminating in the singer being engulfed by a giant red rose. The O2 comes alive like never before.


From 8pm on Tuesday 15th September O2 will be handing the show over to fans, who, in a world first, will be able to have their tweets of support displayed on the roof of The O2. Jonny Wilkinson, Victoria Pendleton, James Anderson and members of O2’s Rose Army were amongst the first people to have their tweets projected, and fans from across the world can tweet their messages of support for the England Rugby team using #WearTheRose. Over the next seven weeks thousands of tweets will appear on top of The O2, with those lucky enough to be displayed receiving an exclusive image and gif of their own personal message.

Visible from the Thames, from air and even from space, a total of 68 projectors and over 144 moving head light fixtures are attached to the interior and exterior of the masts on The O2 to make the projection even possible. The projectors and lights cover a surface area equivalent to ten rugby pitches and the entire show is synced with the LED screens that surround The O2 to create a full 360 experience.

Laura Wright has been one of the biggest selling classical artists this decade. She was the first mezzo soprano to perform at the Olympic Stadium and has enjoyed many performances at prestigious venues such as the Royal Albert Hall, Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey, but no performance until now has seen her elevated in the sky amidst 1.42 million lumens of light.
