Eurovision fans will be in for a treat as they will be pampered when they land in the majestic Swedish capital.

The plans for the EuroClub and Euro Fan Café at Skeppsholmen are shaping up.

We want to present the fans with the best conditions for a successful time in Stockholm. By building EuroClub and Euro Fan Café next door, we will achieve many highly anticipated synergies for Eurovision fans. We will host 3,000 accredited fans at EuroClub, in addition to delegations, media and artists every day,

Euro Fan Café will consist of three rooms on two floors with different concepts and four bars; A large lounge room in two floors with a stage and two bars, a smaller room with a bar and stage, as well as an outdoor terrace with a bar.

The fans are an important part of our content group. Together with the Swedish Melodifestivalklubben and OGAE, we have developed both the concept and content for the Euro Fan Café. We have been planning the overall program together. Everything has been taken into account; the DJs  who will perform, the questions which will be asked during  quiz and  the best time for the Eurovision bingo. There will also be a lot of dancing!

In the evenings the Euro Fan Café and EuroClub will be integrated from 8 pm onwards. All accredited fans and fan media will be able to move freely between the two premises. Euroclub will accomodate three addiotional bars and a large stage where the participating artists will perform.
