About this venue
Live is Live is more than a festival space—it’s an open-air concert ground built to scale up for major productions. A spacious, flexible layout supports different setups, from a powerful main stage to clearly defined crowd zones, while keeping clear sightlines and an unmistakable festival atmosphere.
On site, the experience is shaped by professional sound reinforcement, smooth crowd flow and the essentials that make long concert days easy: food-and-drink points, restroom facilities and areas to pause and recharge. The focus stays on staying close to the performance energy without sacrificing comfort.

About the city
Antwerp, a Flemish gem on the Scheldt River, is not only famous worldwide for fashion and diamonds, but also a strong hub for top-tier concerts and sporting spectacles. The city carries the energy of a major metropolis while keeping the charm of historic streets and an easygoing rhythm that makes planning a night out feel effortless. This blend of culture, nightlife, and live events is exactly why Antwerp works so well when you want a destination where everything feels close at hand.
Antwerp stands out for its highly practical connectivity: the De Lijn tram and bus network covers key districts and the main routes toward arenas and stadiums, making arrival straightforward even if it’s your first time in the city. If you travel by train, Antwerpen-Centraal is the main rail hub, and Antwerpen-Berchem is also convenient for certain routes and transfers. For air travel, Antwerp International Airport (Deurne, ANR) is nearby, while Brussels Airport (Zaventem) is easy to reach for a wider choice of flights; from there, getting to the city center and venues stays simple. It also helps that major venues such as Sportpaleis and the Lotto Arena are designed for smooth crowd flow and are well connected by public transport.
Beyond the event itself, Antwerp offers a “tourist bonus” that fits naturally into your schedule: before the show you can wander the old town around Grote Markt or visit the Cathedral of Our Lady, and after it head down toward the riverfront to enjoy views over the Scheldt. Fans of contemporary attractions often choose MAS and walks through revitalized docklands, while Meir is a classic pick for shopping and lively city vibes. Add a strong food scene and a wide range of places to stay, and you get a city where a match or concert can easily become a complete, well-rounded getaway.
