Vejlby-Risskov Hallen is an indoor arena in Risskov, opened on 13 September 1969 and built through a collaboration between the then-local parish council and the sports clubs VIK and IK Skovbakken. It seats up to 2,000 spectators and serves as the home ground for handball club SK Aarhus and basketball team Bakken Bears. The hall is part of Vejlby-Risskov Idrætscenter, the largest sports complex in East Jutland. During the 1970s and 1980s it was Aarhus's main concert venue for international acts - Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd and The Who all performed here.
