About EXPO Plaza

EXPO Plaza is the iconic outdoor event plaza located at the Expo 2000 site in Hannover, Germany, between the German Pavilion and the ZAG Arena. With capacity for up to 25,000 people in open-air configurations, it’s the spot for large-scale concerts, festivals, and plaza events. The plaza itself features a flexible, standing/field setup with no fixed permanent seating; each production designs its own layout to suit the show.

At Gold Coast Tickets, we’ll help you secure your seats or standing space for events at EXPO Plaza, share practical details about parking and transit, and point you to trusted nearby hotels and dining options to make your visit smooth and enjoyable.

EXPO Plaza sits on the Expo 2000 grounds with easy access via Messe South and Messe Nord exits. Parking nearby includes South 26–29 and East 14–15 car parks. Public transit is highly convenient, with Stadtbahn lines including line 6 (Messe/Ost terminal) stopping at Expo Plaza, plus S-Bahn and bus connections serving Hannover Messe/Laatzen. Nearby hotels such as the Radisson Blu Hotel Hannover and the H4 Hotel Hannover Messe (Laatzen) provide comfortable stays close to the action. The venue has hosted major open-air acts like AC/DC (2015), Guns N’ Roses (2017), Eminem (2018), and Ed Sheeran (2019), with ongoing plaza-themed events from NDR/N-Joy in the area. Note that the adjacent arena area has undergone name changes over the years, but EXPO Plaza remains a premier open-air site on the Expo 2000 grounds.
