About Velodrom: Layout, History & Architecture

The Velodrom, inaugurated in 1997, stands as a prominent example of late-20th-century functionalist architecture in Berlin's Prenzlauer Berg district. Designed by French architect Dominique Perrault, the structure is immediately recognisable by its vast, circular aluminium roof, which appears to hover above the ground, integrating a striking modernist aesthetic with its dual purpose as both a cycling track and a concert venue. The primary auditorium is an expansive, column-free space capable of accommodating approximately 12,000 to 15,000 attendees, depending on the event configuration.

Within the main hall, the layout is highly adaptable. For concerts, the central velodrome track is covered, creating a large flat standing floor area directly in front of the stage. Retractable tiered seating is available behind this, complementing the fixed seating in the upper sections. Sightlines from the upper tiers are generally unobstructed, offering a clear overview of the performance area. However, those on the flat floor at the rear may experience limitations depending on crowd density and stage height. Given the hall's significant volume and its exposed concrete and steel construction, the natural acoustic profile is highly reflective, leading to considerable reverberation. Live sound fidelity is therefore heavily dependent on the quality and configuration of the installed, directional PA systems, which are crucial for delivering clear audio in such a challenging environment.

The Live Experience & Current Schedule

Entering the Velodrom typically involves navigating multiple designated access points along the perimeter, leading into spacious, utilitarian foyer areas. These zones house various bar facilities, often with numerous service points to manage peak crowds, though beverage prices reflect standard arena rates. The atmosphere inside shifts markedly between the dense, energetic standing pit directly before the stage and the more composed, elevated vantage points of the seated balconies. The design ensures a relatively clear view from most fixed seats, allowing for an encompassing visual experience, while the standing area offers direct proximity to the performance. With 17 live performances scheduled, upcoming entry prices start from £57.42. The next confirmed event on the calendar is Spiritbox on 22nd September 2026.

By train and tube

The nearest and most convenient train station to the Velodrom is Berlin Ostbahnhof. This major transport hub is a walk of approximately 15-20 minutes (around 1.2 kilometers) from the venue. Ostbahnhof is served by numerous S-Bahn lines (including S3, S5, S7, S75, S9) and regional trains, connecting it efficiently to all parts of Berlin and Brandenburg. It also serves as a key stop for many long-distance ICE and IC/EC services from major European cities such as Hamburg, Munich, Prague, and Warsaw. Journey times from other German cities are highly competitive, with frequent services running throughout the day. Berlin Ostbahnhof itself is a modern station equipped with ticket counters, numerous retail outlets, eateries, and comprehensive accessibility features for travellers with reduced mobility. Its central location and extensive network make it an ideal arrival point for visitors heading to the Velodrom.

By car and parking

For those driving to the Velodrom, the venue is well-connected to Berlin's arterial road network. Visitors approaching from the A11 motorway should follow signs for the city centre and then head towards Landsberger Allee.
