Göteborgs Konserthus Culture Evening: Where is the city at?

Gothenburg is changing, and it's happening fast. In this month's Culture Night we're calling for a stop - what's happening? Who should decide what the city should look like? The conversation is led by Johan Hilton, author and head of culture at GP.

Concert length: 1 h 15 min no intermission Scene: Stenhammarsalen
100 SEK

“Valhallabadet is the last good place in the world” ( Marcus Berggren in GP, Nov 2024).

For whose sake is Gothenburg changing; for those who live here, those who make decisions or those who visit? Everything can be improved, streamlined and developed. At the same time, grave candles illuminate avenues that are waiting to be cut down. The Concert Hall itself trembles with every detonation. But how is the culture city of Gothenburg supposed to look? If the creators were to decide?

At the Concert Halls culture evenings, we take a look at Gothenburg’s cultural life. With exciting guests and challenging ideas, we look beyond the borders and see the possibilities. Join us! The conversation is led by Johan Hilton, author and head of culture at GP. 

How the city looks and is built has become a question for a wider public. The debate is being conducted in the press, on social media and not least in the traffic around Korsvägen and Järntorget. But which voices count when everyone is supposed to be happy and a lot is to be demolished?

Join us and have your say at Culture Evening. And we promise – it will be swinging! 

Wednesday 22 April 2026: The event ends at approx. 20.15
