Coliseum A Coruña Tickets

Coliseum events in A Coruña

The Coliseum opened in May 1991, beginning a history of large indoor events in A Coruña. Sting performed at its inauguration, and the venue went on to host a broad range of international and Spanish musicians. Its position at a main approach to the city made it a recognisable civic building, while its design allowed the programme to move between music, sport and other gatherings.

A circular building with a flexible centre

The building has a circular base beneath a high arched roof. At its centre is a multi-use floor conceived for different arrangements, including a sports court, a concert auditorium, congresses and trade fairs. A bullring was also among its original uses. This flexibility is part of the Coliseum’s architectural identity: the same covered central area has supported markedly different kinds of public occasion.

The municipal description also records rehearsal accommodation for the city’s band and local musicians within the complex. That musical role extends the building’s connection with A Coruña beyond visiting headliners. Alongside the large public events, the site forms part of the infrastructure used by the city’s own cultural organisations, tying its touring programme to a wider local setting.

The named seating areas for basketball

For Básquet Coruña’s 2024 basketball debut at the Coliseum, the club identified several distinct spectator areas. The Tendido Bajo, Tendido Medio and Tendido Alto form the low, middle and high named sections. The Anfiteatro is listed separately, as are the Palcos and Antepalcos. Floor chairs have their own designation, Sillas de Pista, distinguishing them from the surrounding named stands.

The club’s 2024 guide assigns separate entrances to the Tendido levels, amphitheatre, boxes and floor chairs. That separation records a sporting layout with its own section names within the larger multi-purpose venue.

A concert and sporting history

The venue has hosted the Copa del Rey basketball competition and the Harlem Globetrotters. Its concert history includes Ringo Starr, B.B. King, Iron Maiden and Celia Cruz, alongside Spanish performers such as Alejandro Sanz and Ana Belén. Together, those events reflect the combination of sport and music that has characterised the Coliseum since its opening.
