Frihamnen holds a special place in Gothenburg’s metal history. It was once home to the legendary Metaltown Festival, where In Flames performed an unforgettable hometown show in 2010, a performance so powerful that a nearby bridge began to sway, triggering alarms. That was the last metal show ever held at Frihamnen — until now.
