The Association of Event Venues (AEV) has announced Beyon Al Dana Amphitheatre in Bahrain as its newest international member, further expanding the organisation’s global venue network.


Located in Sakhir, in the Kingdom of Bahrain, the venue has rapidly established itself as one of the Gulf region’s leading destinations for live entertainment and large-scale events. The amphitheatre hosts a broad programme of international indoor and outdoor productions across multiple event spaces.

Built approximately 15 metres into the rock of the Sakhir desert, the 10,000-capacity venue stands out for its striking architectural and engineering design, combining large-scale event infrastructure with an open-air desert setting.

Damian Bush, CEO of Beyon Al Dana Amphitheatre, said: “We are proud to join AEV and be part of a network that represents excellence across the events industry. As a leading entertainment destination in the Gulf region, we look forward to trading insight, championing best practice and contributing to the continued evolution of the live events industry.”

AEV CEO Rachel Parker welcomed the venue into the association, highlighting the value of international collaboration and knowledge exchange across the sector.

“We are thrilled to welcome Beyon Al Dana into membership,” she said. “We are looking forward to learning from the experiences they have to share. I am sure they will benefit from the opportunities AEV presents to network and share best practice with fellow members as we collaborate for the benefit of the industry.”
