WORLD-CLASS CON­CERTS

Bruce Spring­steen has bro­ken atten­dance records here time and time again, Cold­play has turned the sta­di­um into a sea of colours, and Foo Fight­ers have deliv­ered marathon rock shows on sum­mer nights that nev­er seemed to end.

Gothenburg’s own Håkan Hell­ström has writ­ten mod­ern music his­to­ry with his sold-out Ulle­vi shows, while heavy­weights like Metal­li­ca and Ramm­stein have drawn tens of thou­sands of fans to unfor­get­table nights of hard rock.

Whether you want to sing along to Born to Run, dance to Viva La Vida, feel the bass of Du Hast shake the stands – or join the eupho­ria as thou­sands of voic­es rise togeth­er to Don’t You Wor­ry Child – Ulle­vi is the place where musi­cal dreams come true.
