The Movistar Arena is selected among the 20 best venues in the world by the prestigious IQ Magazine

• ‘The Heart of Bogotá’ enters the exclusive ‘IQ Arena Stars’ list, which recognizes the 20 best venues on the planet, nominated by leaders in the live entertainment industry themselves.
• Bogotá positions itself before the industry, specialized critics, and fans as an international epicenter of live entertainment.
• This recognition adds to those recently received from Billboard and Pollstar, consolidating the Movistar Arena as the most outstanding venue in South America and one of the global benchmarks in its category.

Bogotá, June 2026. The Movistar Arena adds a new and significant recognition to its track record: the prestigious IQ Magazine, one of the world’s most influential publications on the live music business, has included the venue in its exclusive ‘IQ Arena Stars’ list, a select ranking that highlights the 20 best arenas worldwide.

Nominated directly by IQ Magazine readers (professionals, promoters, and leaders in the global entertainment industry), this list recognizes venues that stand out as benchmarks of operational excellence, audience experience, and relevance within the international live events circuit. The inclusion of the Movistar Arena in this list is no minor recognition: IQ Magazine is an authority in covering world tours, venue development, ticket sales, and financial trends in the global music industry, making this distinction a seal of validation in the eyes of the most demanding industry professionals.

With this new achievement, the Movistar Arena continues to position Colombia as an international epicenter of entertainment, not only for the fans who fill its stands but also for the industry and specialized critics who now see Bogotá as a must-stop on the global entertainment map.

“Being recognized by IQ Magazine among the 20 best arenas in the world is an extraordinary validation of what we are building. This achievement reflects that we are competing at the highest level, not only in infrastructure but also in the experience we offer to every artist and every attendee. That it is the industry’s own global leaders nominating us is the most powerful proof that we are on the right path,” said Luis Guillermo Quintero, General Manager of Movistar Arena.

A venue accumulating world-class recognitions

This distinction adds to two other international recognitions obtained so far in 2026. Billboard highlighted the Movistar Arena as the number one venue in South America and Top 20 worldwide in the category of venues with capacities between 10,000 and 15,000 attendees, while Pollstar ranked it first in its most recent attendance report, with 15 shows and more than 118,000 attendees in the evaluated month.

Three recognitions, three of the world’s most prestigious publications, one venue: the Movistar Arena, a venue whose versatile design allows configurations ranging from 4,000 to 15,000 attendees, offering adaptable infrastructure for different production formats and live experiences that the world is now watching with admiration.
