About Malmö Arena#

Malmö Arena is a multi-purpose indoor arena in the Hyllie district of Malmö, Sweden, opened in 2008. It functions as a venue for ice hockey, concerts, conferences and major televised events.

The arena is best known for hosting large concerts and sporting events; it serves as the home arena for the Malmö Redhawks ice hockey club. Typical concert capacities are in the low tens of thousands and the venue includes VIP suites, conference spaces and variable seating layouts for different events.

Commissioned to provide a modern international arena for Malmö and the Öresund region, the facility opened in late 2008 and has since hosted sporting finals, touring shows and large-scale televised events including the Eurovision Song Contest in 2013.

The arena sits in Hyllie in the south of Malmö, within walking distance of Hyllie station and the Emporia shopping centre, and is on the Öresund regional transport corridor between Malmö and Copenhagen.

  • Opening and events: Opened in November 2008 and located in the Hyllie district of Malmö, the arena is the home venue for the Malmö Redhawks ice hockey team and was the host venue for the Eurovision Song Contest in 2013.
