I have a strong feeling it will be the Ericsson Globe. It is not too big and it is not too small, just the way SVT likes it. Big artists like Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande has very recently had shows there, and the Swedish Idol finals are always there. Last final (December 2014) had a stage that I believe would be the ideal size for SVT to have, I think this clip truly shows the potential of the Ericsson Globe:
I doubt it will be Malmö again, Europe are going to scratch their heads and start to wonder if Malmö is the capital city of Sweden.
Don't get me wrong, as long as the production is good I can live with Eurovision in smaller venues (e.g. 2014) but we are talking about Sweden here. That means most of the fans are expecting a little more - One could probably fill Friends Arena with fans from Sweden alone! That's why I think it's kind of unfair towards all of us to get smaller and smaller every year. It wouldn't bother me that much if Melodifestivalen wouldn't be held in such a big arena while the MAIN EVENT will most likely be held in a hall with not even a quarter of Friends capacity. That's fishy for me.
I guess it's gonna be Gothenburg and again no live Eurovision for me (and most of the other fans) then :?
