An 81 metre high attraction in Stockholm and invitation to all the OGAE-fans to the biggest Euroclub ever. That is the recipe for a succesfull Eurovision-week for fans in Stockholm
Eurovision Song Contest 2016 will let the fans "Come Together" more than ever before. Fans who are members of an official OGAE fan club, accredited press and delegations will all have access to the official parties in Euroclub in Stockholm.
Euroclub bigger than ever

This year, that number will be doubled to 3000 fans, including the press accredited and delegations. All the fans who are member of one of the official OGAE fan clubs will have access, according to Swedish broadcaster SVT.
»There will be people from all over the world to be a part of this event. Therefore it is amazing that the city of Stockholm as the first host city invites all OGAE fans to solve the accreditation to Euroclub, the official party venue for artists, delegations and media«, says Swedish Head of Delegation, Christer Björkman.
Euroclub will have three additional bars and a large stage where the participating artists will perform.
