● Stockholm venue Kägelbanan reopens

After being closed for three years, one of Stockholm`s most iconic venues, Kägelbanan, will return under the management of Stockholm Live, the Swedish division of ASM Global.

Kägelbanan has previously featured performances by artists such as Coldplay, Ice Cube, The Libertines, First Aid Kit, Killers, and more. Stockholm Live`s portfolio of venues in the capital of Sweden includes the Avicii Arena, Friends Arena, Tele2 Arena, Södra Teatern, of which Kägelbanan is a part of, Annexet, Hovet, and the recently added outdoor arena, Betongparken.

Kägelbanan will be used by Stockholm Live for events and concerts. This means that unlike in the past, nightclub activities won`t be held there. Before reopening, Kägelbanan will go through renovations, including a new lighting and audio system for the venue.

“Kägelbanan is an incredibly important venue for Stockholm with all its history and great artists who have performed here,” said Andreas Sand, CEO of Stockholm Live. With its capacity of close to 1,000 spectators, it fits perfectly into what is requested by our promoters, and with its location and atmosphere, it will be an important piece in Stockholm’s cultural scene going forward.”
