Norrköping Bråvalla Air Field

Bråvalla (Full name: Norrköping-Bråvalla Air Field) is a former military air field & air base, located west of Norrköping, a city in the province of Östergötland, Sweden. It's directly connected to the E4 highway, part of the European E-road network. The field was established in 1943 and partially closed in 2000.

In 1945 and until 1994, the air field was used by the Bråvalla Air Force Wing. After the Bråvalla Air Fleet was disbanned in 1994, the field was moved over to the Blekinge Air Force Wing, with the base unit still at the field until 1999, tasked with flight control and maintenance. After 2000, the field was used as a military surplus storage. More than 22.000 vehicles were sold since then. In 2009, the Swedish Fortifications Agency planned the storage facilities to be disbanned and demolished. Despite that, parts of the air field are still being used by the Swedish military logistics department.

Between 2013 and 2017, the Bråvalla Air Field was the host venue of the Bråvalla Festival, which was Sweden's most popular music festival. In 2018, the organiser FKP Scorpio announced that Bråvalla would be cancelled due to a number of sexual assaults in the years prior. Muse headlined the festival in 2015.
