AEG believed to have clinched Brit Awards for Dome

Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG) will host the Brit Awards from 2008 at the O2 Dome, the new name for the Millennium Dome in Greenwich, south-east London, The Times claims.

AEG has promised to invest £250m in the Dome. But the success of a 23,000-capacity arena depends on a proposal by Sol Kerzner who wants to build a Las Vegas-style casino-hotel next to the site.

Greenwich Council has agreed to grant both a gaming licence if they apply but the government will make the final decision.

The British Phonographic Industry said there was no deal in place after the 2007 Brit Awards.
