The year 2025 was one of the most dynamic in Atlas Arena’s history. Nearly one million spectators and approximately 100 events, including 57 concerts and 18 sporting events, confirm that the Łódź venue not only maintains its leading position in Poland but is now truly competing in the top European league of entertainment venues. This season has strengthened Łódź’s position as one of the most important destinations on the country’s concert map.
One of Europe's leading venues – a rise in the Pollstar rankings
Atlas Arena took third place in this year’s Pollstar ranking of Eastern European venues—Pollstar being one of the world’s leading industry publications—highlighting the venue’s strength in programming, attendance, and operations.
“ The year 2025 brought not only record attendance and an impressive calendar of sporting, cultural, and musical events, but also landmark investments that further enhance our competitiveness,” says Maciej Łaski, president of Miejska Arena Kultury i Sportu, the company that manages Atlas Arena.
International stars in Łódź
Over the past year, Atlas Arena has hosted some of the world’s biggest artists—from Andrea Bocelli, Ghost, and Lorde to The Offspring and Twenty One Pilots. A series of sold-out concerts has shown that Łódź is becoming the natural choice for major tours. It is worth noting that a significant portion of Poland’s most important indoor concerts took place at Atlas Arena in 2025 —confirming the venue’s growing influence on the country’s major events market.
2026 looks set to be just as strong. With concerts already announced by the Wu-Tang Clan, Marilyn Manson, Kings of Leon, the Scorpions, Deep Purple, and Raye, it’s clear that the upward trend is continuing and that Atlas Arena remains one of Poland’s leading music venues.
Not just music
What sets Atlas Arena apart from other venues in Poland is its partnership with the Łódź Metropolitan Railway. For major special events, “ŁKA Koncertowy” trains transport audiences to and from Warsaw, often using as many as three large trains. This solution is unique in the country— no other Polish venue offers such a service. Thanks to this, attendees can reach events comfortably and safely, and organizers gain an additional reason to choose Łódź as the venue for large-scale productions.
Investments made possible by Holding Łódź – The arena of the future is being built today
The modernization project now underway is the largest investment in the venue’s history. It encompasses key technical, lighting, and multimedia systems, as well as VIP areas and spectator zones. The first results—including new mobile stands and refurbished boxes—are already raising the venue’s standard, and subsequent phases will create infrastructure capable of hosting productions on a scale comparable to Europe’s largest arenas.
Atlas Arena contributes to a record-breaking year for tourism in Łódź
In 2025, Łódź recorded a record 5.2 million visitors, and Atlas Arena was one of the key drivers behind these results. Concerts and mass events generated significant traffic in hotels, restaurants, and service industries. Restaurants on Piotrkowska Street regularly filled up before concerts, and hotels saw significant increases in bookings on days when events were held at the arena. Increased traffic is also evident at the Fala Aquapark and the Łódź Zoo’s Orientarium.
“Atlas Arena is one of the key attractions in Łódź’s tourism offering. Every event draws visitors who have the opportunity to explore the city, its architecture, and its culture, ” saysTomasz Koralewski, President of the Łódź Tourist Organization.
"Every event announced at Atlas Arena leads to a significant increase in bookings at our hotel. Thanks to our proximity to the arena, we are the natural choice for event attendees, and rooms at our hotel fill up in no time," emphasizesMarta Wróblewska, PR Manager at the DoubleTree Hotel.
