It is not an arena in the traditional sense of the word, but a 15,000 square meter open space adjacent to the Banankompaniet cultural scene in Frihamnen.
"It's a fantastic place with great potential for great events and ideas, something that Stockholm lacks and needs. I see bigger concerts, festivals, markets and sporting events ahead," says Johan Andersson, CEO of Banankompaniet, in a press release.
Portlands is a collaboration between Banankompaniet, Kulturarenor AB, which operates the nightclub Trädgården and the concert venue Fållan, and Stockholms Harnar, which leases the space.
