Music Venues in Gothenburg
Gothenburg rivals Stockholm for Swedish music credibility. Scandinavium handles major touring, Way Out West festival draws international crowds, and the city's rock heritage runs deep.
Gothenburg's Scandinavium seats 14,000 in Sweden's second city of 600,000. Way Out West festival pioneered sustainable events while Trädgår'n and Sticky Fingers maintain rock heritage. The working-class port identity (Volvo heritage) creates different character from Stockholm's polish—rougher, more authentic.
