Friday. Are we still there? Yes we are! This time it’s Vesterbro – my hood: Check this out:

Yes I know – there are going to be interesting music all over the place – still. I recommend these guys at Flensborggade as I listened to their music last year. Really interesting and different tech (in a good way of course).

Free style rappers, break dancers, barbeque, cocktail- & beer bar at Saxogade - one of the most hyggelige streets on Vesterbro – they know how to throw a street party – I know for a fact.

And yes it is friday – parties are everywhere!

It is Distortion thursday and I’m still going strong – this time at Nørrebro. Apart from all the sweet street parties all around Nørrebro, I especially think the followings are worth checking out:

Red Cross Youth is hosting a Distortion charity event. The beers are cheep and the sausages red. AND it takes place at Nørrebro park – bring your blanket and take a nap if you haven’t had much sleep from the day before.

Pukemaster is hosting a rather interesting event, where you are a piece in a big scale board game called “sex in the grass”. Apart from being a playing party piece - drinks are nice and cheep – and if you get tired of beers and booze, they even serve wine (!).

The followings are (some of) the parties I’m going to check out when Distortion trashes inner city:

200 free sandwiches and chillout at Zefside – down by the channels. A slow starter.

Free shots and a sailor rave theme at Rezet Store. These guys really know how to party and how to make you aware of the theme of the party (I personally know for a fact) .

You. Simply. Must. Go. Here. PromilleService blows your rave heart out – trust me. I’ve experienced them live several times at Roskilde Festival. Promise to stop by!

So join the celebration of the generous rebels that will be filling the streets with surprises and treasures for you, me and everyone.

Blågårdsgade, 2200 Copenhagen N Show map

From 14:00-late // free

Look forward to a local atmosphere when the well-known Nørrebro street takes on the annual street party. Summer has hit Copenhagen and this is one of the many occasions where the city has the possibility to show its very best.

Three stages around Blågårdsgade will make sure that everyone is entertained, and during the day, you can also find a flea market by the Church. Usually it is a good chance to hang out, bump into friends and share some nice food and drinks.

If you are a party animal, then go for one of the after-parties at Stengade, Støberiet or Global.

There’s plenty of 2200 Love for all.

This is what Danish summer is all about: partying outside!!

Do not miss out on Diplo. There are a lot of cool dj’s and I’m sure the atmosphere will be great (as it has been all Easter, aight?)

You can dance, you can chill, a great way to meet new cool peops and if you don’t like it – you can just go into one of the many surrounding bars – I doubt that you will though.

March 11th a couple of Hello Copenhageners went to Brorsons Church to listen to electro/ alternative music.

When we got there, people were lying all over the floor, just giving into the music. The only light came from the Vj’s light maschine which gave the whole experience a sinister fairytale feeling.

 I’m sure this event will be in my top ten events of this year and I hope it was not the last time the church gets invaded by light and soothing sounds.

My friend and photographer Kenneth Nguyen covered the event:
