Olympic Hall

Come in and see our all-round genius: As the second largest park location, the Olympic Hall has been the venue for a wide variety of events for decades. From major sporting events and pop concerts to operas, classical concerts, gala shows and exhibitions. Whether on the parquet, on ice or on sand: our hall can do it all.

Sport & Show, Rock'n & Roll: Our versatile multitalent

At the 1972 Summer Games, it was the venue for the gymnastics competitions and the handball finals, and in the decades that followed, the Olympic Hall developed into the most versatile event location in our park. Sold-out pop and rock concerts by international top acts, world and European championships in a wide variety of sports, colourful entertainment galas and thrilling shows on a wide range of surfaces. Whether it's the figure skating spectacle of Holiday On Ice or the equestrian tournament of the Munich Indoors, whether it's Elton John or Helene Fischer, Eric Clapton or Ed Sheeran, whether it's international title fights in handball, tennis and basketball. Our Olympic Hall, which has remained eternally young since its extensive renovation as an ultra-modern event location, masters them all with ease. Another shining example of the successful re-use of an Olympic sports venue from 1972.


Event Highlights

In total, 33.6 million spectators were drawn to 3,282 events (incl. Business Area and Coubertin/Club) in the Olympic Hall.
