WE TRANSFORM ARENAS

Nextstage invests, develops and operates underutilized venues through capital, operational expertise and partnerships

WHY NOW?

Across Europe, mid-sized venues remain structurally underutilized. With the right capital, programming, hospitality, partnerships and commercial discipline, these assets can become year-round engines for cities, clubs and investors.

ACTIVE PIPELINE

Nextstage is engaged in multiple arena and venue opportunities across Portugal, Spain, France, Croatia, Greece and Turkey, including discussions with public institutions, leagues, clubs, private owners and investors.

Specific projects remain confidential due to ongoing negotiations.

PARTNERSHIP
