Luxor Live in Arnhem

Luxor Live is at Willemsplein 10, 6811 KB Arnhem, next to Arnhem Centraal station. The venue calls it a two-minute walk; the measured route is about 420 m, or six minutes.

Up to 700 people fit standing in the Main Hall. The upper Small Hall holds 150 at concerts and 200 at dance nights. There is no published capacity for the whole building, because the halls are usually used one at a time.

Most concerts are standing, with no seat numbers; a seated show is announced as such on its event page. The Main Hall has a balcony, but it can be hired separately and is not open at every show. A limited number of stools with a backrest are available on request.

For most evening concerts, doors open at 19:00 and the first act starts at 19:45; some start at 20:00. Family matinees usually have doors at 14:30 and start at 15:00. A typical evening concert finishes around 22:30 to 23:00, and a matinee around 16:30, but Luxor Live does not publish an exact end time: it says the end varies per show and that it takes public transport into account.

Leave the station towards Willemsplein: the walk is about 420 m and six minutes, and the venue describes it as two minutes. Buses also stop at Willemsplein (190 m, three minutes) and Rijnstraat (290 m, four minutes).

Parkeergarage Centraal at Willemstunnel 1 is the closest: 310 m, five minutes' walk, open 24 hours, with 1,050 spaces (OpenStreetMap). Parking costs €1.70 per hour between 18:00 and 06:00, or €0.70 per 10 minutes from 06:00 to 18:00, with a maximum day rate of €24, the municipality's current rate. The entrance is 2 metres high.

Walk six minutes to Arnhem Centraal and check the last NS connection to your destination before the show; NS runs an extra late train on the Utrecht-Arnhem/Nijmegen route. On Saturday nights/Sunday mornings only, RRReis night buses 801-807 leave Willemsplein at 01:40 and 03:00, costing €6.50 with OVpay/bank card or €7.80 from the driver. There is no night bus on other nights, and the first Saturday bus is well after a typical 23:00 finish, so book a taxi if you cannot take a late train.

There is a free, compulsory cloakroom included in the ticket price. Bags must be checked in; handbags are allowed. Luxor Live describes a staffed cloakroom, not self-service lockers.

Concerts have no minimum age, but under-16s must come with an adult who has a ticket and wear hearing protection. Dance nights and other night programming are 18+. Family or children's events can set their own age, stated on the event page.

The Main Hall and upper Small Hall can be entered with a wheelchair or walker; the balcony cannot. There are no reserved wheelchair spaces, tickets or platform, so tell [email protected] in advance and arrive early for a spot with a view.

Phone and pocket-camera photos and videos are allowed without flash as long as they do not disturb artists or visitors. Recordings are limited to the first three songs of a set; a semi-professional camera needs permission from [email protected].

The box office is open during events, subject to availability. Online sales run 24 hours a day, and presale is also available at Kroese Arnhem, Rijnstraat 31, and Kroese Nijmegen, Molenstraat 126. Reservations are not possible.

Yes, through TicketSwap from your Luxor Live account, at no more than 100% of the original price. For events announced after 1 March, the e-ticket stays sealed until 48 hours before the show, but you can list it earlier.

There are bars, but no visitor restaurant or published menu. The professional catering the venue advertises is for room hire. For dinner, the city centre around the station is a two-minute walk away.

Bags must be checked in at the free, compulsory cloakroom, which is included in the ticket price. Handbags are allowed.

The building opened on 26 May 1915 as the Luxor-Théâtre, designed by Willem Diehl. It closed as a cinema in 1984 and reopened as Luxor Live on 5 September 2008.
