About this venue

As a well-known venue for major music and stage productions in the greater Madrid area, it stands out for its large capacity and the unmistakable atmosphere of outdoor shows.
Inside the venue—across the stands and floor—the experience feels festival-like yet well organized: circulation is intuitive, entry flows are straightforward, and the layout supports clean visibility with pleasant open-air acoustics. Visitors often highlight the energy of big nights here, with the usual amenities expected at large-scale events.
