HELLO COPENHAGEN

Royal Playhouse, Portscenen Show map

19:00-23:00 // free entrance

The radio program called ‘The Electric Barometer’ will be hosting three nights and inviting some of the favorite bands of the program – in total six concerts.

The radio program is a hit list of new underground music and is a really good indicator for where the wind is blowing on the alternative scene. Besides this, listeners write letters about their experiences, pleasures and sorrows that the hosts read during the broadcast.

This program meant a lot to me when I was in my teens and was part of forming my musical identity, I remember those dark Sunday evenings with blowing candles. I guess lots of young people is still inspired by it.

The concerts will start at 19:00 and 21:00 with with these promising names followed by DJs:

Thursday: Taxi Taxi, The Kissaway Trail
Friday: Chimes & Bells, Sterling
Saturday: Mouritz / Hørslev, Oh No Ono

@Fælledparken, Copenhagen Ø Show map

Sat 12:00-23:30, Sun 12:00-18:00 // Free entrance

This weekend Fælledparken will flourish of global awareness, when Fair Fælled hosted by MS ActionAid (Mellemfolkeligt Samvirke) once again strikes a blow for global justice.

To mark the importance of supporting the fight against poverty in the developing countries various artists will fill your ears with pure love. Among others can you hear Slaraffenland, Freja Loeb, Bodebrixen and Hannah Schneider.

In between live sets it would make sense if you choose to go berserk among the many organic goodies.

You can also choose to make a statement and take part of the many debates and ongoing events. For instance, this year Fair Fælled will serve as a platform for the large NGO campaign concerning the 2015 goals (go for the ‘Take Action’ tent).

You can read more about the work of MS ActionAid on www.ms.dk and see the full program (in Danish) for the weekend.

Woodpecker Wooliams has been compared with Joanna Newsom and Kate Bush. With the light psychedelic atmosphere and acoustic ballads, she will be ready to enchant the audience. Her fascination for bees has even made her call her music “psyck-bee-folk”. Give it a listen.

Both concerts are for free, but donations are accepted :-)
