Thanks for this great site!

The name of this venue was actually Olympen, not 'Olympean'.

The -en ending is the definite form, equivalent to the 'the' article in English.

So it means The Olymp.

It was turned into a gym in 2011.

Thanks Stefan, I will get this fixed!

They played in Lund (Olympen) on the "Band on the run-tour" as well.

Hi Mats, I can't find a reference to any other concert in Lund by Wings or Paul McCartney. Could you tell me more?

Mats Hommerberg • 1 month ago

A very late answer. The concert 1974 was the "Band on the run-tour" so its just one concert.

Thanks Mats
