About Plaza de Toros de Gijón - Gijón Arena: Layout, History & Architecture
The Plaza de Toros de Gijón, inaugurated in 1899, presents a robust Neo-Mudéjar architectural style, characterized by its distinctive red brickwork, horseshoe arches, and geometric patterns. Originally designed as a bullring, the circular structure encompasses a large central arena, which for live performances typically serves as a flat standing floor or stage area. Surrounding this central space are several tiers of concrete seating, offering a substantial capacity of approximately 10,000 to 12,000 patrons, which can be adjusted depending on the event configuration.
Sightlines from the tiered seating are generally unhindered, providing clear views of the central performance area from most positions. However, the sheer scale and predominantly open-air nature of the space, constructed primarily from concrete and brick, mean that the natural acoustics are highly reverberant. While suitable for the traditional roar of a crowd, musical performances rely heavily on professional sound reinforcement systems to achieve clarity and intelligibility across the expansive auditorium, rather than benefiting from any inherent acoustic warmth or intimacy.
The Live Experience & Current Schedule
Ingress to the Gijón Arena is facilitated via numerous arched entrances distributed around the perimeter of the building, allowing for efficient crowd flow into the concourse areas. Within these peripheral zones, patrons will find temporary bar and concession stands. For concerts, the central arena transforms into a vibrant standing pit, offering close proximity to the stage but with varying crowd density depending on attendance. Those preferring a more settled experience will find the tiered seating provides good elevated sightlines across the performance area. The atmosphere within the arena for live events is typically energetic, amplified by the open-air setting.
With 3 live performances scheduled, upcoming entry prices start from £76. The next confirmed event on the calendar is Anastacia Gijón on 24th October 2026.
