INFO

Ziggo Dome is a prominent indoor arena located in Amsterdam, Netherlands, known for hosting large-scale music concerts, sporting events, and other major gatherings. Officially opened on June 24, 2012, the venue was constructed to address the growing demand for a modern concert space in Amsterdam capable of accommodating massive audiences. Managed by the same organization responsible for the renowned AFAS Live (formerly Heineken Music Hall), Ziggo Dome quickly established itself as one of the primary destinations in Europe for live entertainment.
Its distinctive rectangular, black-facade design, featuring 840,000 LEDs embedded on the exterior, makes it a recognizable architectural icon in Amsterdam Southeast, directly adjacent to the Johan Cruijff Arena. Unlike many other European arenas that also host sports events, Ziggo Dome was purpose-built for music, offering state-of-the-art acoustics and facilities optimized for concerts. The venue's large capacity—up to 17,000 attendees—along with its advanced sound technology, has helped elevate Amsterdam's standing as a major hub for international touring acts.
Ziggo Dome’s reputation is built on both its cutting-edge infrastructure and its cultural impact. It consistently ranks among the top venues in the world in terms of ticket sales, often competing with legendary locations such as Madison Square Garden in New York and O2 Arena in London. The venue is praised by artists and fans alike for its excellent sound quality and audience experience, which has made it a beloved institution within the Dutch nightlife and event scene.
Since its opening, the Ziggo Dome has not experienced any changes in location but has seen periodic upgrades to its lighting, sound, and hospitality features to maintain its position at the forefront of event venue technology. Its cultural significance is evident not only in the impressive roster of artists it attracts but also in its role as a site of collective experience for the Dutch and international community, hosting everything from pop and rock concerts to electronic dance music events, corporate gatherings, and televised award shows. Notable artists who have performed at Ziggo Dome include international superstars such as Beyoncé, Madonna, U2, Paul McCartney, Lady Gaga, Muse, Bruno Mars, The Rolling Stones, Justin Timberlake, Ariana Grande, and Ed Sheeran, as well as legendary DJs like Armin van Buuren, Martin Garrix, and Hardwell.
The venue has also welcomed prominent local Dutch acts including Marco Borsato, Anouk, BLØF, Guus Meeuwis, and Kensington, making it a stage that many artists aspire to grace during their careers.
