In the UK, people enjoy live music.
The O2 in London is the second largest live music arena (场地) in Europe.

What about free live music There are music festivals across Britain every year that are completely free. Last year more than 150，000 people went to the Tramlines free music festival in Sheffield in the north of England. The festival is held every July.

Shoppers and shop owners complained to the police about teenagers behaving badly in the shopping centre.
