Festivals near Copenhagen

In Copenhagen, live music has an epicentre: Roskilde Festival, the trailblazing giant pitched just west of the city, which for decades has made the Danish capital a European hub for rock and adventurous new finds. Yet the city is far more than that single behemoth. On the industrial docks of Refshaleøen, Copenhell turns former shipyards into a cathedral of metal, while the city's jazz soul, rooted in the clubs of Vesterbro and Nørrebro, still runs through its stages.

That range carries on throughout the year. Syd For Solen spreads its open-air concerts across the greenery of Søndermarken, Roots & Jazz Copenhagen keeps an intimate repertoire of standards and reworkings alive, and gatherings like Engage Festival and Festegnen keep refreshing the local scene. To help you navigate it all, FestT calculates the FestiScore, the affinity between each festival's line-up and your favourite artists, and keeps dates and ticketing up to date.
