Travel in the long escalator to the upper floor, order something in the bar and be amazed by the incredible view of the city center, before it is time to take a seat in the large concert hall.

During the summer, Uppsala’s music scene switches up a notch. It has become more or less a standing summer tradition that the Botanical Garden welcomes world-renowned artists. It’s not hard to understand why megastars like Elton John, Patti Smith and Tom Jones have been attracted to play at “Botan”. A Botanical Garden in full bloom, packed with picnic blankets and happy people is a fantastic sight.

To get a glimpse of an artist before they get signed and hit it big can be a marvellous thing. At Kulturhuset Femman, the notion of “independent” is not just a name of a music genre.

IFU Arena and Fyrishov are arenas primarily intended to house sports events, but also hosts various musical events, for example the local institution Uppsala Reggae Festival. The same goes for the enormous event field KAP, which is situated just past the football stadium Studenternas IP, that occasionally arranges notable gigs during the summer period.
