Live Nation has announced a long-term strategic partnership with the team behind the Munich Arena project, marking a significant step in the development of the new venue.

The arena, which will be located in the northern part of Munich near the city’s international airport, is designed to accommodate approximately 20,000 attendees.

The project is being led by Lorenz Schmid, Managing Director at SW Munich, in coordination with local authorities on planning and approvals.

According to a study by Deloitte, the venue is expected to contribute an estimated €354 million in annual gross value-added to the regional economy, with an additional €391 million projected during the construction period.

Tom Lynch, President Venues, Live Nation EMEA: “We are proud to be part of this groundbreaking project in Bavaria, which has the potential to become a cultural and live entertainment hotspot at the heart of Europe. The record-breaking Adele residency last summer proved how much Munich and the surrounding region value live music and demonstrated the area’s capacity and infrastructure to host both national and international artists and fans. The Munich Arena will play a key role in attracting talent and audiences to the region, and we’re excited to support its growth.”

Marek Lieberberg, MD, Live Nation GSA: “Finally Germany will have the arena that fans have been waiting for. With the Munich Arena a new era begins – an essential new concert and entertainment experience that meets the needs of both visitors and artists in every way.”

Lorenz Schmid, MD Munich Arena: “This strategic partnership with Live Nation is a significant milestone for us, bringing the expertise of the world’s leading live entertainment company into our project. Together with my team, we will continue to drive the plans forward with full energy and unwavering commitment to the region. We want to create a place where people of all backgrounds and ages can come together to experience unforgettable concerts and live entertainment events. A venue that is deeply rooted in Bavaria while also shining on a global level. In doing so, Munich Arena will become a driving force for culture, economy, and tourism.”
