The arena
This is Annexet
At the same time as Avicii Arena was erected, Annexet was built as a directly connected facility that was primarily intended as a training hall for the area’s ice hockey teams and various sporting events.
Today, Annexet has developed into an intimate and flexible multi-purpose arena used for many different types of events. In addition to frequent concerts, Annexet is popular for trade fairs, galas, corporate conferences and parties. It is also an appreciated arena for TV productions.
