In the heart of Gothenburg, Big Stage at Jacy’z Hotel & Resort has quickly established itself as a natural gathering spot for the city’s music lovers. From the outset, the arena’s ambition has been clear: to offer a modern, international stage where the audience can always get close to the pulsating energy of live music. With the unveiling of the autumn program for 2026, Big Stage continues to realize this vision, presenting a season where both international stars and Swedish acts share the spotlight.
This year’s autumn program is remarkably ambitious and demonstrates great breadth. Among the international highlights are the unique singer Macy Gray, whose soulful voice has touched audiences worldwide, as well as West Coast icon Xzibit, who brings classic American hip hop to Gothenburg. With these bookings, Big Stage cements its position as a venue that attracts world-renowned artists to Sweden.
Wide-ranging program with theme nights and tributes
The autumn lineup goes far beyond global headlines. The program includes several theme nights and festive events. For those seeking colorful togetherness, Frank Martini Party of the Century offers an extravagant party event, while Paris Latino provides a club-inspired vibe. Local tradition is kept alive with the recurring Räfvens Julfest, which spreads the Christmas spirit with great energy.
The focus on Swedish music is given plenty of space through collaborations and performances from local prominent names. Audiences can look forward to Familjen and Hemliga Klubben sharing an evening, as well as the meeting between Organismen & Afasi—both important names for Swedish pop and hip hop. The tribute to jazz icon Monica Zetterlund, along with intimate Late Night Jazz sessions, preserves the heritage and love for Swedish jazz.
Soul and funk fans get their fill as Blacknuss hosts a full evening, while country lovers can enjoy Tennessee Tears on stage. Tribute concerts give the audience the opportunity to relive classics in new interpretations, with both The Orchestra and Bosstria Bruce Springsteen Tribute among the autumn program’s highlights.
Viktor Jebsen, head of entertainment at Jacy’z, emphasizes the stage’s core ideas: visitors can, within the same month, experience both intimate jazz and international hip hop at the highest level. This versatility and energy imbue autumn 2026 and further strengthen Jacy’z reputation as the center for live music in Gothenburg.
