The Oslo Spektrum is a multifunctional arena in the Norwegian capital Oslo .
history
The Oslo Spektrum was opened in June 1991 after three years of construction. In 1992 a pedestrian bridge was built as a connection between the Oslo Spektrum and the then newly built Hotel Oslo Plaza . Concerts by well-known artists such as A-ha , Britney Spears and Rihanna take place on a regular basis . The hall was, among other things, the venue for the Eurovision Song Contest 1996 and various final shows of the Melodi Grand Prix , the Norwegian preliminary round for the ESC. Concerts are also regularly held in the spectrum as part of the Nobel Peace Prize awards . In addition, the Oslo spectrum is used for various congresses and trade fairs.
From 1994 to 1996 it was the home ground of the professional ice hockey team Spektrum Flyers from the Elite Series , but the spectrum proved to be too big and too expensive for the club, which was subsequently relocated to Bergen.
