Events

The Annexet was built as a training venue for ice hockey, and also hosts concerts, fairs and conferences. [2] The firm Berg Arkitektkontor AB was responsible for the building's architecture. [3] Artists that the venue has hosted in concert include Avril Lavigne, [4] Good Charlotte, [5] Lana Del Rey, Alice in Chains, Gavin DeGraw and Joakim Thåström. [2]

Annexet was used to host the after-party at the Eurovision Song Contest 2000. When Sweden hosted the Eurovision Song Contest 2016, Annexet was chosen to be the location for the delegation area during the event. [3] The Kingsizegalan hip hop festival was held at Annexet in 2015. [6] The venue hosted the 2020 Musikhjälpen. [7] All shows of Melodifestivalen 2021, the competition to select Sweden's representative for the Eurovision Song Contest 2021, were held in the Annexet. [8] Due to restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, no audience was present. [9]

In 2021, the Swedish Sports Awards were held in the Annexet instead of the usual venue, the Globe Arena, also due to COVID-19 restrictions. [10] In January 2022 the venue hosted the awards for a second year. [11] In May 2022 the Annexet hosted the Grammis, the national music awards for Sweden. [12] It hosted again in 2023, [13] 2024, [14] and 2025. [15]
