About us

Meet be•at

We have plenty of space in Antwerp, Brussels, Ghent and Hasselt for you to organize concerts, theater shows, musicals and corporate events of any size. Our venues range from 200 m² to 12,000 m², so we always have the perfect venue for your event. Our arenas and theaters are vibrant meeting places for you and your visitors, customers and business associates, no matter how many people you want to bring along.

The market leader in venue operation

The Sportpaleis, the largest and most popular event venue in the country, and a household name far beyond the national borders, opened its doors in 1933 and is the jewel in the crown of our group of venues.

Since the takeover by be•at in 1997, the venue has experienced its second youth and is the place to be for large-scale events. The equally successful Lotto Arena opened next door in 2007.

Since January 2012, be•at also operates the Trixxo Arena and the Trixxo Theater in Hasselt, in which we made far-reaching investments to firmly anchor them in the events landscape.

Major growth spurt after 2013

On October 1st 2013, be•at took over the management of Forest National, the legendary rock temple in Brussels. On January 6th 2014, be•at also took over Stadsschouwburg Antwerpen and Capitole Gent.

This growth spurt was noticed by Live Nation Entertainment, the largest entertainment company in the world. In April 2019, be•at became part of Venue Nation and its worldwide network.

After the global pandemic, be•at succesfully resumed its activities, welcoming over 2 million visitors at more than 650 events in 2023 – a record that is likely to be broken this year.

Whether you want to organise an intimate corporate event or a large-scale concert, be•at always has the perfect location. Our venues are designed to make your event unforgettable, with space and facilities suited to your needs. We are looking forward to creating an unforgettable experience together.
