Founding

In 2015, it was announced that the hall operator, Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG), wanted to expand its area around the Uber Arena (formerly Mercedes-Benz Arena).

Around 200 million euros had been budgeted for the new event hall with an expected construction period of 24 to 30 months. At the end of 2017, it was announced that the insurance company Verti had signed the naming rights contract for the event hall, the Verti Music Hall. On 12 October 2018, the venue finally opened with an almost sold-out concert by Jack White. [4]
