About this venue
Stadthalle Graz is more than an event hall—it’s a landmark within the city’s fair and congress complex, hosting major concerts, shows, sports fixtures, and trade fairs in Graz. Its bold roof structure defines the approach to the venue, covering the entrance forecourt, while inside you’ll find a pillar-free main space designed for quick, professional reconfigurations. Depending on the setup, capacity reaches 14,520 standing, around 11,403 mixed standing/seated, or 5,561 seated.
The indoor experience is shaped by clear sightlines, strong acoustics, and flexible grandstands, making even large-scale productions feel comfortable and well-organized. Spacious foyers and on-site amenities help with smooth entry, breaks, and meet-ups before and after the program—whether you’re there for a headline concert or a high-energy match.
You’ll find the venue at Messeplatz 1, Graz, Austria. The main entrance faces Messeplatz with straightforward wayfinding through the complex, and the “Stadthalle” stop is right in front of the entrance (tram). If you’re arriving by car, nearby garages and fairground parking areas make the final stretch to the doors a short walk.

About the city
Graz, the charming capital of Styria, combines a relaxed vibe with the real energy of major events. The city is known for a strong cultural and sports scene, making it a great choice when you want an experience that starts the moment you arrive and only ends after the final applause. On top of that, Graz offers diverse dining and a wide range of accommodation—from elegant hotels close to the center to practical options in well-connected neighborhoods.
Getting in and moving around is straightforward: Graz Linien (trams and buses) links key parts of the city quickly, and transfers are usually intuitive around Jakominiplatz. If you arrive by train, Graz Hauptbahnhof is the main hub with excellent connections to the center and beyond, while Flughafen Graz is a convenient flight option with clear links into town. For wider regional travel, S-Bahn Steiermark is also useful, keeping trips to arenas and stadiums comfortable and predictable.
If you have time before or after the event, Graz rewards you with a walk through its UNESCO-listed old town, filled with cafés, courtyards, and streets that are easy to explore on foot. Head up to Schlossberg and the Uhrturm for the best city views, cross the Mur river and stop by the Murinsel, then continue to Hauptplatz and the old-town lanes. That way, your tickets come with a full city experience—compact, lively, and ideal for a short city break around a concert or a match.
