A wide variety of cultural events fills thousands of seats in the SACHSENarena every year, one of the largest event venues in the east of
Germany. Concerts by Elton John, the German singer Udo Jürgens and
AC/DC, including musicals, German popular country music or the annual
arena singing event with more than a thousand singers: they show that
there’s no limits to the number of events. The ambience of the arena
balcony bears the resemblance to an Italian piazza, setting the stage
for small concerts or events. There is also the monthly series of
events called Live from the Balcony with excellent Live Jazz, Blues,
Swing or Boogie Woogie.
Besides cultural events, there is hardly
an athletic discipline that has not been staged at the SACHSENarena including ice hockey, football, sumo, swimming, dancing,
weight-lifting, boxing, gymnastics, freestyle motocross or even
handball: this is where the world and European champions meet and
battle it out.
