New Year's Eve

Welcome the new year with a stunning view over Stockholm as your back drop. Our New Year's celebration dates back to the 1890s and is experienced by the Solliden stage and via live broadcast on Swedish television, SVT.

  • The evening offers entertainment with live music that exudes both celebration and nostalgia! Between approximately 23:00 and the stroke of midnight the celebration from the Solliden stage will be broadcast live by SVT.

    Actor Johan Rabaeus has been given the honor of reciting Lord Alfred Tennyson’s poem Nyårsklockan (Ring Out, Wild Bells) as part of the tradition-steeped New Year’s celebration.

    The New Year’s Eve broadcast is hosted by Farah Abadi, with the evening’s musical performances accompanied by the house band, led by musical director Johan Granström. Performing artists include Sarah Klang, Gustaf Norén, Miriam Bryant & Kapari, Dreamgirls, and Loa Falkman. The song Nyårslöftet (The New Year’s Promise) will be performed by the music group ODE, consisting of Olle Linder, Dan Knagg, and Emilia Amper.

  • Buy your entrance ticket in advance to enter the park faster – choose between a combination ticket for daytime from 10:00 to 16:00 + from 20:00, or an evening ticket valid from 20:00.

  • Bag restrictions

    Please note that there is a total bag ban at Skansen’s stage events, and all audience members will be searched upon entry to the Sollidenplanen. The bag ban applies to all types of bags, regardless of size, including both transparent and non-transparent bags. Exceptions are made for individuals who, for medical reasons, need to bring a bag into the area.

  • Food and drinks

    Terrassen, the Solliden restaurant, is closed for renovations, but at the Bollnäs Square, you will find hot beverages, burgers, wraps, and other tasty food during the day until 4:00 PM. From 8:00 PM until midnight, a limited selection of food and non-alcoholic beverages will be available outdoors at the Solliden area. Welcome!
