Gothenburg has a long-standing reputation as a live-music city. Large international and Swedish artists regularly perform at Ullevi Stadium, Scandinavium and other major venues, while clubs and smaller stages host everything from rock and electronic music to jazz and experimental performances.
Ullevi is particularly associated with enormous summer concerts. When a major artist performs there, tens of thousands of visitors can arrive in the city, transforming the atmosphere of central Gothenburg.
This means that travellers planning a summer weekend should check the events calendar before booking accommodation. A major concert, sporting event or festival can significantly increase demand for hotel rooms.
Sport is another major part of the entertainment scene. Gothenburg has passionate football traditions, while Scandinavium regularly hosts ice hockey and other sporting events.
