Sweden’s national arena
Strawberry Arena
Unforgettable experiences
Room for emotions
On 12 July 2024, the arena took on a new name – Strawberry Arena, once known as Friends Arena. For Strawberry, it marked the beginning of a new chapter – a place with “Room for emotions” – created for connections, feelings, and experiences that last. As Sweden’s largest indoor arena, it can host up to 65,000 people. Over the years, some of the world’s most beloved artists – including Coldplay, Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift, and many more – have graced its stage. The arena has also been home to the Melodifestivalen finals, the Sweden International Horse Show, international football matches, and cup finals – and continues to be a natural stage for unforgettable moments.
