Scandinavium is an indoor arena in Gothenburg’s event district, at the junction of Skånegatan and Valhallagatan. It is Frölunda HC’s home arena, and it has hosted concerts, international championships in handball, athletics and figure skating, and equestrian competitions at the Gothenburg Horse Show. Visitors come for the event on the calendar, whether that is an ice hockey match, a concert or a sporting competition. The arena holds up to 14,000 people for concerts and around 12,000 for sport. Whitney Houston holds its attendance record, with 14,606 people at her concert on 29 May 1988.
The arena opened in 1971 as part of Gothenburg’s 350th anniversary celebrations. Danish-Swedish architect Poul Hultberg designed it with ancient amphitheatres as inspiration. Its roof undulates above two higher grandstand sections. It was initially described as Northern Europe’s largest and most modern indoor arena for sport, entertainment and culture.
Scandinavium is about a 20-minute walk from Gothenburg Central Station. The Got Event Accessibility app offers audio description, sign-language interpretation and hearing-loop support. Availability varies by event; details and the app are at gotevent.se.
