About Arenes d'Avenches

Located at Place de l'Eglise 3, 1580 Avenches, Arenes d'Avenches is a storied Roman amphitheatre and open-air concert venue in the heart of Switzerland. While the site has been undergoing renovation since autumn 2022, the broader area continues to host events around the historic arena. Rock Oz'Arènes, a long-running festival in the area, historically drew thousands to the venue before renovations began.
