Stockholm Globe Arena

Stockholm-Globen
Stockholm

Stockholm Globe Arena is the largest spherical theatre in the world and is used to host both sporting and musical events. Globen means balloon in Swedish and the building gets its name from its unusual shape.

It was opened in 1989 for the international ice hockey championships and is a popular tourist attraction today because of its unique structure. The stadium is used for hockey and basketball matches.

Some of the most famous artists who have performed in the stadium are U2 and Bruce Stringsteen. The annual Melodifestivalen is held at the stadium and it was also used to host the MTV Europe Music Awards in 2000.
