From the venue’s website.
Sprawled across the windswept shores of the Nyhavna industrial harbour on Strandveien, Havet Arena is one of Norway’s most innovative and dynamic waterside cultural destinations. Built within converted shipyard halls and outdoor maritime docks, Havet merges Nordic sauna and sea-bathing culture with large-scale music events, club nights, and creative gatherings.
The complex boasts multiple versatile indoor venues—including the cavernous Scene Dypet concert and club hall, the atmospheric Heim bar, and seaside event stages—all equipped with robust sound and visual production. Outside, wood-fired floating saunas, hot tubs, and panoramic fjord views create an extraordinary setting that bridges nature and nightlife.
Havet Arena is central Trondheim's primary destination for electronic music festivals, warehouse raves, open-air summer day parties, and live concerts. Its adventurous programming and spectacular maritime location offer an unparalleled Scandinavian nightlife experience.

Visitor ratings make up 10% of the NOX score, alongside 45% for editorial judgement. We adjust ratings toward the site average while there are only a few reviews. How we rank.
Editorial judgement based on reviewed venue and scene evidence. A score does not imply a first-hand visit.
City context: the venue’s programming, community contribution and distinctiveness within its own city. Worth 9%; until assessed, the existing city-wide scene score is used as a baseline. This venue currently uses the city baseline, not an individual assessment.
Recency of observed Instagram activity. This is a signal, not proof of current operation.
Visitor ratings, adjusted toward the site average while reviews are limited. Applied once a venue reaches the minimum review count.
Venue capacity, scaled so that larger venues don’t dominate the overall score.
How long the venue has been open.
How often visitors save a venue. This has a small influence on the score.
The editorial score reflects our review of venue and local scene information. It doesn’t mean we’ve visited in person. Venues can’t pay for a higher score.
