Quarry turned amphitheater · June to early September, 2026 season
A limestone quarry, flooded and turned into a stage.
Dalhalla is a flooded limestone quarry in the forests of Dalarna, mined until 1990 and reborn as a natural amphitheater with a small lake for a floor. The first show played in 1994, a year after the site's founder staged a trial concert to test the acoustics, and the venue now seats up to 6,000 for its biggest nights, a KISS show set the record in 2023. It's one of Trailwind's Legendary Venues: log a show here in Passport, and On Tour flags it automatically if an artist you follow plays here.
Quarry depth: ~60 meters
Where it is visible: Rättvik, Sweden
This is remote enough that the venue runs its own on-site glamping and motorhome parking alongside hotels across the wider Siljan region. The full 2026 calendar is still filling in as of this writing; June and July dates are typically added through spring. Near the June solstice, sunset does not arrive until nearly 11pm, so an early-summer show plays out in genuine Nordic twilight rather than darkness, and even in July evening lows sit around 46 to 50°F: bring a coat.
