On 18 July 2009 The Killers, Duffy, Mando Diao, Brandi Carlile, The Walkmen and Bettershell made the lineup for the Lisbon's 15th edition of Super Bock Super Rock festival, held at the stadium.

UEFA Women's Champions League Final

In 2011, the portuguese soap opera "Sedução" produced by TVI told the history of a fictional player of Belenenses so some episodes were recorded at the stadium, including in game days.
