The Avicii Arena, previously known as 'Globen' in Swedish, was the world's largest scale model of the Solar System, meticulously constructed over three years from 1986 to 1989. Its most striking feature is the Sun within its representation. After 30 years of operation, the stadium underwent a transformation and is now primarily used for ice hockey and concert events. The Avicii Arena, renamed in honour of the Swedish artist Tim Bergling, has hosted prestigious occasions such as the Eurovision Song Contest in 2000 and 2016, and Melodifestivalen held annually. RIP Avicii.
