Full detailAbout Avicii Arena
The Avicii Arena is Stockholm's iconic globe-shaped arena, seating 13,850 for ice hockey and up to 16,000 for concerts inside a perfect sphere. The steep seating ring, split into the lower Stand A and upper Stand B, rises around a central floor, and a 2025 renovation added new premium hospitality spaces and gondola-style seating. The arena's separate SkyView attraction carries visitors up the outside of the dome in glass gondolas to 85 metres above the ground.
The Avicii Arena is one of the world's most distinctive venues: a spherical indoor arena 110 metres in diameter and 65 metres tall in the Johanneshov district of Stockholm, representing the Sun in the Sweden Solar System scale model. Designed by Berg Arkitektkontor and opened on 19 February 1989, it remains the second-largest spherical building on Earth, after the Las Vegas Sphere opened in 2023. Renamed in honour of the Swedish DJ Avicii in 2021, the Globe hosted the Eurovision Song Contest in 2000 and 2016 and remains home to Swedish national ice hockey games and major concerts. A $92 million modernisation led by HOK with C.F. Møller Architects and schlaich bergermann, overseen by NCC, added a retractable acoustic ceiling, new premium hospitality spaces and gondola-style seating, reopening in February 2025.
