Avicii Arena

Avicii Arena, formerly the Ericsson Globe, and commonly referred to in Swedish simply as 'Globen' represents the Sun in the Sweden Solar System, the world's largest scale model of the Solar System. Globen was inaugurated on 19 February 1989 after a construction period of less than three years. In 2009, the naming rights to the Stockholm Globe Arena were officially acquired by Swedish telecommunications company Ericsson, and it became known as the Ericsson Globe. In 2021, it was announced that the arena would be renamed the Avicii Arena in honor of the late Swedish DJ Avicii, who died in 2018. It has a seating capacity of 16,000 spectators for shows and concerts, and 13,850 for ice hockey. In the upper area there are 40 VIP boxes, including 'The 1989', an indoor cocktail bar, with premium seats, offering personal service throughout the event.

First time at the venue, first time in Stockholm. When you enter they have airport scanners and high military security. My friend had an umbrella and bike helmet in his bag, the steward next to the scanner searched his bag and said he cannot come through for some reason even though plenty of people had rucksacks and handbags. Be aware either they do random checks and just do that on purpose for no reason (unfair) The woman said he cannot pass or put his bags at the locker station he will have to leave with his bag. Most ridiculous reason ive ever heard! Luckily, we found a hotel next door that will hold his backpack at reception safely for duration of the concert. Staff at hotel where very kind and understanding. He went through the scanners again and we could go to find our seats. Drinks and food kiosk with burgers/popcorn hotdogs and crisps they had a merchandise table which was fun to see what you could buy. Inside was easy flow to find your seats and mill about. Lots of leg room when seated and comfortable for the 2hrs with intermission when we where there. Having waited a whole year to see the Witcher live, amazing it was! Highly recommend The Witcher tour is happening again next year. :)

I visited the arena for a Roxett concert in late 2025. Access was very organized, and on the different floors of the venue you can find good restrooms and various options for drinks and food. The stage and sound were great.

Big arena but bit narrow passages and it's not really marked clearly where exits and toilets are. The sound is not the best for concerts. The view of the stage from the floor is good and easy too see the big screens.

The staff are systematic and helpful, making sure everyone is safe and taken care of. Went to Lady Gaga's Mayhem ball, which was crazy. But the venue was excellent, there's plenty of shops nearby to get drinks and food while waiting in line!

We went for the Ice Hockey Penguins vs Predators, paid extra for the Hockey Lovers Lounge at the Annexet. Food was great, bars well stocked, well served. Well worth it! Great venue.

Great venue. Easy to get to. Cloakrooms available. Limited range of drinks (only Rekorderlig cider).

One hell of a arena Had never been to one of these and this is the first time I visited, which turned out to be amazing experience. The dome can also be seen from city centre which is almost 4.5km far. We thought it’s near and started to walk which was a bad idea
