Venues

History quite literally oozes out of the walls of this stunning house. Built in the 1740's, and still containing many original features, each room possesses its own mood. It's an honour to perform in this most special of spaces.

If the walls at Gothenburg’s infamous club Nefertiti could talk, they would tell stories about many memorable concerts of Swedish and international jazz legends, unforgettable jam sessions and vibrant club nights. Besides hosting performances for the first time at Gothenburg Fringe, Nefertiti will be our social hub, a place to share delicious food, festival stories and drinks - and the venue of this year’s awards ceremony.

Gothenburg’s best stage for entertainment and culture. Kvarterscenen 2Lång is a creative meeting place which offers theatre, entertainment, and theatre courses.

The epitome of a backstreet theatre. Unassuming and covered in graffiti on the outside, Trixter is well-rehearsed at transporting guests to imagined worlds on the inside. 

A must-visit venue at every Fringe festival, the artists here are given a platform to deliver top-notch performances, while the care given by those at Trixter make them dear partners to everyone they work with.

For the first time in its six-year-long history, Gothenburg Fringe has added a venue on “the other side of the river”, on the beautiful island of Hisingen. Just a short and free ferry ride away from the city centre lies Gothenburg’s oldest cinema, Aftonstjärnan, built in the early 20th century. Today, it is used as a venue for a variety of events, including festivals, theatre and film screenings.

Probably the most spectacular addition for 2021 is the majestic Kronhuset, located right in the heart of Gothenburg in Västra Nordstan. Built between 1642 and 1652, this is one of Gothenburg’s oldest buildings and was originally used as storage space for military equipment. 
Since 2021, Kronhuset is the home of the newly-established culture centre Kronhuset Kreativ Arena. 

Formerly known as Teater UNO, Esperantoscenen is a meeting place for creatives of different backgrounds and hosts a wide range of performances, from theatre and music to literature, lectures and everything in between.
