Cirkus since 1892
Cirkus was inaugurated on May 25, 1892, to house the great circus troupes of the time. Over the years, Cirkus has become a venue for concerts, congresses, TV recordings, and above all theater, musicals, and shows.

ADDING A TOUCH CIRKUS TO EVERYDAY LIFE SINCE 1892
Since its grand opening in 1892, people have gathered here to be entertained, delighted, and amazed.
Through the decades, Cirkus has dared to lead the way, seeking out the new, welcoming the unexpected, and always staying one step ahead of its time.
History of Cirkus
Northern Europe's largest private theater
Today, Cirkus stands as Northern Europe’s largest private theater – a full-scale entertainment venue with three stages, along with bars, restaurants, event halls, and tucked-away salons.
Icons on stage
The legendary main stage has welcomed global icons such as The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, and Elton John, along with beloved Swedish productions such as Mamma Mia! and Chess.
New Cirkus opens
In 2015, New Cirkus was unveiled – a state-of-the-art, two-level stage designed by White Arkitekter, infused with the same spirit that made Cirkus iconic. This is where Partaj! stepped out of the TV screen and where Lena Philipsson made her major comeback with “Jag är ingen älskling” (“I am no sweetheart”).
True Culinary Joy
The Cirkus restaurant is as much a stage as it is a dining room – a creative and playful kitchen where chefs push boundaries and love to surprise, all in true Cirkus fashion.
And for those looking for something truly extraordinary, we offer our private boxes – hidden rooms, secluded salons, and festive suites where the evening becomes a show of its own.
