Sweden's national stadium with a roof that closes over the biggest tours
Strawberry Arena, called Friends Arena until 2024, is Sweden's national stadium in Solna, just north of central Stockholm. Its roof can close in minutes, so concerts and football go ahead in any weather, and it hosts the biggest tours that come to the Nordics.

The arena was built to replace the old Råsunda stadium, which hosted the 1958 World Cup final. It opened in October 2012 with Sweden against England, a night remembered for Zlatan Ibrahimović's four goals, including a bicycle kick from 30 metres.
A year later it hosted the women's Euro final, and in 2017 the Europa League final, when Manchester United beat Ajax after a minute's silence for the victims of the Manchester attack.
The arena is now Stockholm's main stage for the biggest stadium tours. Beyoncé opened her Renaissance world tour here in 2023, and in 2024, the year it was renamed Strawberry Arena, Taylor Swift played three sold-out nights of the Eras Tour.
