Live audio description during all concerts at the Johan Cruijff ArenA this summer

What is audio description?

Audio description provides spoken explanations of visual elements, specially designed for people who are blind or partially sighted. A trained audio describer narrates what is happening on stage, making the concert experience more accessible and immersive.

At concerts in the Johan Cruijff ArenA, the audio description focuses on all visual elements that enhance the musical experience. This includes the artists’ entrances and movements, their interaction with the audience, facial expressions, and any choreography.

The narration also covers the stage design, lighting effects, video projections, costumes, and special moments — such as a soloist stepping forward or making an emotional gesture. This gives listeners a complete sense of the concert’s atmosphere, energy, and dynamics, alongside the music itself.

How does it work?

It’s easy: visitors can access the audio description live in the stadium via the Johan Cruijff ArenA website, using their own smartphone and headphones, earbuds, or headset.

Live entertainment for everyone

By making visual information audible, audio description supports independence, inclusion, and equal access to culture and entertainment. In this way, we help ensure that live music is not just accessible to many, but truly available to everyone.
