Join us for the Opening of Gothenburg Fringe 2025, set in the heart of the city at Gustaf Adolfs torg, with the historic Börsen building as a stunning backdrop, this year inspiring the theme: Masquerade.
Once a bustling hub of trade, the square now becomes the stage for our tenth edition celebration, bursting into life with vibrant live music and dynamic dance performances.
Then step inside Börsen for an exclusive, one-of-a-kind guided tour through its grand halls, where art breathes, history echoes, and mystery lingers.
Tickets are free, but are limited, so book them here.
Here’s a sneak peek of what you can expect when you enter the halls at Börsen. More info and artist details will be shared as we build up to the big day.
Welcome address by H.S.H. Prince Frei of Lorenzburg
His Serene Highness Prince Frei of Lorenzburg – Sweden’s, and quite possibly the world’s only freelance royal – welcomes you to the splendorous House of Börsen. You
are invited to put on a mask, and glimpse hidden and arcane rituals of power and desire in this building, which is Gothenburg’s political heart. It is the Prince’s pleasure
to receive you with due pomp and pageantry. Bowing and curtsying is optional. Welcome!
Artists: His Serene Highness Prince Frei von Fräähsen zu Lorenzburg and Aide-de-camp the Right Honourable the Baroness Anita Doom und Herzdämmerung.
‘Woman of faces’
Artist: Rachel McNamee
Who are you hiding in your closet?

VALV – VAULT
Artists: Samuel Haglund, Anna Hallqvist, Ida Andersson and Stina Axelsson
We invite you to a celebration – of movement, community and transformation. New vaults open within us with every step. A celebration of the unexpected, resonating freely.
