LED fascia board operating within a live events setup at Barclays Arena.

Barclays Arena

Hamburg, Germany

A large-scale LED ring upgrade at Hamburg’s Barclays Arena, delivering a new visual standard for live events through seamless audiovisual integration and reliable, venue-ready performance.

The challenge

Barclays Arena required the replacement of an ageing LED ring that no longer met the technical and operational demands of a high-capacity, multifunctional venue. After more than 17 years in operation, the existing system presented limitations in performance, maintenance accessibility and long-term reliability.

The insight

TRISON delivered an end-to-end LED ring upgrade based on a high-quality Samsung solution, designed to create a continuous, high-impact visual surface fully integrated into the arena’s architecture. The installation was developed and executed as a permanent solution aligned with the venue’s live events requirements.

End-to-end integration

TRISON managed the entire installation process, from substructure and static calculations to on-site coordination within an active event calendar.

Designed for large-scale live events

The installation has been conceived as a permanent solution for one of Germany’s leading entertainment venues. Fully integrated into the building’s structure, it supports the technical demands of concerts, sports events and touring productions while enhancing the visual experience for audiences.
This project builds on TRISON’s experience delivering large-scale LED ring installations in major German venues, such as the Uber Arena in Berlin, also developed in collaboration with Samsung.

Extending LED ring expertise

TRISON’s experience in designing and integrating LED ring solutions extends beyond arena environments to large-scale stadium projects. These systems require a different approach in terms of scale, integration and operational complexity, while maintaining the same focus on reliability and performance.
A clear example is the Real Madrid stadium project, where an LED ring solution was implemented as part of a broader digital ecosystem, responding to the specific technical and operational requirements of a world-class sports venue.
