About this venue
Slaktkyrkan is not just a concert hall, but a distinctive live music venue in the industrial setting of Johanneshov. The space is known for its high ceilings and raw, minimalist character, giving it an intimate feel while still being strong enough for larger club-style concerts. With a capacity of up to around 750 visitors, the venue works well for shows where the stage, the audience and the energy of the room feel closely connected.
Inside, the experience is built around clear sound, good visibility and an atmosphere that suits rock, electronic music, punk, indie acts and late-night club programs. The foyer, the high-ceilinged concert room and the long bar make the venue practical even before the performance begins, turning a visit into more than just a show and into a complete evening rhythm.
The venue is located at Styckmästargatan 10, Johanneshov, Sweden, in the Slakthusområdet area. The easiest way to reach the entrance is to follow the signs toward the complex and continue on foot through the surrounding streets, while visitors arriving by car should check nearby parking options in advance.

About the city
Johanneshov, just south of central Stockholm, is part of the area known as Stockholm Globe City and one of Scandinavia’s most recognizable hotspots for sports, concerts, and large-scale events. Major arenas and venues sit within a short radius here, which makes the entire visit exceptionally convenient—from entering the district to finding entrances, food, and pre-show amenities. If you want a destination that blends the pulse of a capital city with the feeling that everything is within easy reach, Johanneshov delivers.
A key advantage is transport connectivity: public transit operated by SL makes getting to the venues fast and straightforward via a mix of Tunnelbana and Tvärbanan, supported by multiple bus lines that naturally link into the main hubs. It helps that the area connects smoothly through central interchanges, and whether you arrive by train at Stockholm Centralstation or by air via Stockholm Arlanda Airport, the onward trip to Johanneshov is logical and easy. That “frictionless” logistics is exactly what you want when planning an evening at Avicii Arena (Globen), 3Arena, or Hovet.
Since you’re already coming for an event, add a sightseeing bonus: wander through Gamla Stan and along the waterfront for classic city views, stop by Södermalm for cafés and panoramic outlooks, or head to Djurgården for a relaxed walk through greenery by the water. Johanneshov offers a rare balance of “action” and exploration—you’re quickly in your seat, and just as quickly back in the iconic Stockholm neighborhoods that round out the whole experience.
