Uppsala’s 15,000 capacity Studenternas stadium is set to host a concert for the first time as it prepares to host Veronica Maggio next year.
The Swedish venue reopened in 2020 after a three-year renovation and is now able to deliver on its plan to stage music events.
The Maggio show, to be held in September, is being staged by All Things Live in collaboration with local promoter Kaliber Live.
“It feels amazingly funny that it is Veronica Maggio who is inaugurating Studenternas as a new arena for concerts in Uppsala,” said Uppsala Arenas and Properties’ Staffan Littmarck of the event featuring the local-born singer.
“We strongly believe in Studenternas as a venue for larger outdoor concerts, where the audience gets close to the artist and gets a unique experience.
“Together with organisers and partners, we want to continue promoting Uppsala as an event city and extend a warm welcome to all visitors.
“Opening with an artist like Veronica Maggio sets the standard for future events in the arena.”
Tickets are due to go on sale tomorrow through Kaliber Live’s website.
Studenternas is the home ground of football club IK Sirius and was named Sweden’s Sports Arena of the Year by architectural firm FOJAB in 2023.
The football field will be protected by a new floor in order to host the concert.
The investment is part of the city’s continued ambitions to become a renowned event destination.
“This summer we launched Polacksbacken as a new venue for events and concerts with up to 40,000 visitors,” said Littmarck.
“Studenternas fills a gap just below that and is a perfect complement to Polacksbacken, UKK, Fyrishov, Parksnäckan, Katalin and other scenes in Uppsala.”
