Overview

  • Doors open on Saturday, September 6, with a Nino Bravo tribute concert expected to draw up to 20,000 people.
  • Management set the total investment at €400 million for the broader city project, which includes the Les Arts public school, a public car park and new landscaped park areas.
  • The arena’s construction cost stands at about €365 million after adding a 20‑layer acoustic insulation system designed to prevent sound leakage and enable simultaneous events.
  • Programming is filling quickly with roughly 80 first‑year shows planned and 57 already announced, about 75% of tickets sold for listed events and 14 dates sold out, plus around 60 Valencia Basket games on the calendar.
  • Operators forecast more than one million visitors in the first year and about €150 million in local economic impact, with some 500 direct jobs created.
