About Festweise Leipzig

Festweise Leipzig, also known as Festwiese, is an iconic open-air venue located in the heart of Leipzig at Am Sportforum 1. With a flexible grass field that can accommodate large crowds, it has hosted world‑class artists like the Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson, U2, Tina Turner, and Depeche Mode, as well as major festivals and corporate events. The space covers about 40,000 m², with a capacity reaching up to roughly 75,000 spectators depending on event setup. There are no fixed seats; configurations rely on temporary stands, terraces, and standing areas tailored to each show.

Whether you're planning a summer concert, a city festival, or a corporate gathering, Festweise Leipzig offers a dynamic, outdoor setting just outside the city’s core. The venue sits near Red Bull Arena, making it easy to combine a game day with a concert or to use nearby facilities for a full event experience.

Getting there is straightforward via Leipzig’s public transit system, with Sportforum Süd/Ost stops and nearby bus/tram routes serving the area. Parking is convenient with around 430 spaces in adjacent visitor lots, plus additional parking at Red Bull Arena and Festwiese itself. Park & Ride options are recommended to keep your day smooth.
