AMSTERDAM - ARENA BOULEVARD
Video

The Eye Candy screen is located at the center of Amsterdam Arena Boulevard.

Since Ajax moved in and the Amsterdam ArenA was opened in August 1996, the development of the central area of Amsterdam Southeast has gone into full swing. This is the site of one of the most prominent central locations in the Netherlands: the ArenA Boulevard. A new piece of the city with an impressive skyline is arising around the Amsterdam ArenA. The Pathé ArenA cinema multiplex, the Heineken Music Hall, the Media Markt, Decathlon, Perry Sport and Prenatal megastores, the Villa ArenA home improvement centre, cafés and restaurants are all open to the general public. One of the largest banks ABN Amro have their head offices here and there are 30,000 people working in the area every day. During the evening the area is filled with concert and theatre goers and every other weekend during the football season, Ajax play their home games.

Heineken Music Hall
Major performers from both the Netherlands and abroad have already played many concerts in the Heineken Music Hall. The main hall of the Heineken Music Hall, known as the Black Box, was specially designed for concerts. It has a large foyer, where one can enjoy a snack and a drink before the show begins. Furthermore, many concerts are followed by an after-party with a DJ

Pepsi Stage
In the summer of 2002, the Pepsi Stage - as the former Grace Theatre is currently known - was taken over by the organisation that also operates the Heineken Music Hall. The Heineken Music Hall's motive for taking over the former Grace Theatre was to expand its existing capacity and market segment. The Pepsi Stage is suitable for smaller concerts and events for up to 2,000 spectators, while the Heineken Music Hall has a capacity of 5,500. Combining the two naturally yields an extensive capacity expansion, but also provides a greater variation of experiences for its visitors. These two locations on the ArenA Boulevard can also be interlinked by means of walkways.
The combination of the Pepsi Stage and the Heineken Music Hall has already organised a range of successful productions. Major factors influencing the organisation's choice of location were good accessibility, its proximity to Bijlmer railway & metro station, extensive parking capacity and excellent accessibility from both Amsterdam city centre and the rest of the Netherlands.

Shops

Perry Sport
This magnificent Perry Sport megastore comprises two storeys, with a floor area of some 1,750 m2. It offers an extensive range of product for all fields of sport, from aerobics to swimming. For opening hours, special offers and further information.
