Beautiful summer scenes in Örebro

Published July 7, 2021 / Updated May 12, 2026
How about live music in an amphitheater, 58 meters up, or surrounded by fields and meadows? A theater with the sky as its roof, or a sing-along on an island in the Svartån River? Nothing is impossible—here are some of Örebro’s summer venues.

Summer Concerts in Humlehagen

Nestled among swaying fields of grain lies Humlehagen, a charming farm just outside Örebro that offers live music, sunsets, and food from various food trucks. In the summer of 2026, you can catch performances by Hooja, Orup, The Soundtracks of our Lives + Hurula, and Tjuvjakt + Ida-Lova, among others. For more information about tickets and artists, visit Kulturaktiebolaget’s website.

Music Nights Under the Open Sky

Experience lovely summer evenings at Under Bar Himmel. At Spelgården in Wadköping, nestled among the charming wooden neighborhoods, you’ll find the amphitheater where you can enjoy live music, stand-up comedy, food, and drinks. Under Bar Himmel kicks off on May 16 with the festival Inte lätt att leva. Then the music nights continue throughout the summer. Here you can see Division 7, Valter Nilsson, Amanda Jensen, Moonica Mac, and many more. And in August, both the Gin & Jazz Festival and the Country & Beer Festival await.

Bar Himmel is located at Spelgården in Wadköping’s picturesque wooden neighborhood.

Live at Vinön's Inn

The ultimate summer experience—live music and dinner on an island, with a cool lake breeze at sunset. Yep, at the inn on Vinön , there will be live music all summer long. Summer on Vinön the concert concept that this year features everything from Larz-Kristerz and the Refreshments to Emil Assergård, Hästpojken, and Caroline Af Ugglas. How do you get out to the island? The Swedish Transport Administration operates a ferry from Hampetorp to Vinön(tip: park your car in the parking lot in Hampetorp). In the summer of 2026, the Summer Bus—Länstrafiken’s route 890—will also run all the way from Ånnaboda via Gustavsvik and Örebro Resecentrum out to Vinön. And back, of course.
