Named for the Dutch cable TV provider, the Ziggo Dome is the largest entertainment venue in both Amsterdam and the Netherlands, with the capacity to seat 17,000 people per event. It is located to the south of the city centre, alongside a major football stadium, the Amsterdam Arena, as well as the Heineken Music Hall.

In addition to the Ziggo Dome’s main arena where most of the action takes place, it also has a small hall with the capacity to fit up to 800 people that is connected to the main arena via an air bridge. It’s ideal for after parties or smaller concerts, and there’s also a private VIP balcony and backstage area. The Ziggo Dome has four different bars for guests to socialise, as well as fourteen different food outlets, spread out across its floors. The Ziggo Dome’s famous 3.5-metre high Coca Cola vending machine is situated on the ground floor, together with a Wifi Zone where DJs play before shows and photos of concert-goers are projected onto a large LED screen. There’s a chill-out zone operated by LG where visitors can relax and take in a range of entertainment before the show, and merchandise stalls where t-shirts and memorabilia can be purchased.

The Ziggo Dome can be accessed by both metro and bus, with the main transport hub of Bijlmer Arena located just a short walk from the entrance. Alternatively, there’s plenty of parking located just to the west of the Ziggo Dome and bike parking facilities available onsite.

The Ziggo Dome opened in June 2012 to provide a venue for leading artists from across the globe to perform. Since that day, it has hosted the likes of The Eagles, Pearl Jam and One Direction, as well as Beyonce, Madonna and Adele.
