Sportpaleis

About

Sportpaleis is a multifunctional event hall in Antwerp's Merksem district that hosts concerts, sports competitions, festivals and trade shows. Originally built for sports events including track cycling, it now primarily stages large musical performances and recurring events such as the Night of the Proms concert series since 1985, the Proximus Diamond Games tennis tournament, and Humo's Pop Poll De Luxe. The adjacent Lotto Arena, operational since 2006 and seating around 5000 spectators, serves as an extension venue and hosts the Antwerp Giants basketball team's home matches.
