Ziggo Dome
multi-use indoor arena in Amsterdam
The Ziggo Dome (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈzɪɡoː doːm] or [ˈzɪɣoː doːm]) is an indoor arena in Amsterdam, Netherlands, located next to the Johan Cruijff Arena. It is named after the Dutch cable TV provider Ziggo. With a capacity of 17,000 people, it is the largest indoor concert venue in the Netherlands.
Architecture
The Ziggo Dome was designed by Benthem Crouwel Architects. Although the name 'Dome' refers to a dome, there are no round shapes. The building has the shape of a square block; the size is 90 by 90 meters, with a height of 30 meters. On the outside, the Ziggo Dome, on a black background, is fully lined with a total of 840,000 LEDs, where video images can be displayed.
The building is designed for amplified music, but is multi-usable and can also be made suitable for tennis and korfball competitions, an Olympic-size swimming pool or an ice rink with minimal adjustments.
Notable events
The Ziggo Dome has been heavily used for concerts; as of 2017, it ranks behind Madison Square Garden, SSE Hydro, Manchester Arena, and the O2 Arena as the 5th busiest concert venue in the world.
The first concert was held on 24 June 2012 by Dutch singer Marco Borsato.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Ziggo Dome” as multi-use indoor arena in Amsterdam. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as multi-use indoor arena in Amsterdam. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 31, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q71922. Authority coordinates are 52.313, 4.937. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2017 and 2012.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
