Stampen is one of Stockholm's music-club stalwarts, swinging to live jazz and blues six
nights a week (and sometimes on Sunday). The free blues jam, at 2pm on Saturday, pulls

Globen
LIVE MUSIC
This huge white spherical building (it looks like a giant golf ball) just south of Södermalm
hosts regular big-name pop and rock concerts, as well as sporting events and trade fairs.
Even if nothing's going on inside, you can take a ride up and over the building inside
SkyView, a miniglobe with glass walls that offer great views across town.
Concerts, Theatre & Dance
Stockholm delivers outstanding dance, opera and music performances; for an overview,
see the calendar section on visitstockholm.com or ask at the tourist office. Most ticket
sales are handled by the tourist office as well. Alternatively, you can buy some tickets dir-
ect from
Ticnet.
Operas are usually performed in their original language, while theatre performances are
invariably in Swedish.
