Stereo Plaza is one of Ukraine's largest indoor music venues, accommodating up to 6,000 attendees across its three-tiered structure, encompassing a total area of 3,300 square meters, (approx. 35,521 square feet).[1] The venue features a 16 by 8 meter stage, lighting and sound systems with a total acoustic output of 125 kW, and a multi-level layout. The ground floor includes the "fan zone" – an open-plan box-theatre style space for standing room or seating – while the second and third tiers contain designated VIP and "deluxe" areas, respectively, to accommodate different audience arrangements.[1][2][3][4] The VIP area can accommodate more than 200 people, and has a separate entrance and wardrobe from the ground floor.[5] Stereo Plaza has remained an active venue since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Despite the ongoing conflict, the venue has hosted numerous concerts and events, often with a focus on supporting Ukrainian resilience and culture.
