Denmark Live Events
Roskilde Festival, Copenhagen Jazz Festival and the world's best restaurant scene
Denmark's live events calendar is anchored by the Roskilde Festival (Northern Europe's greatest music festival), the Copenhagen Jazz Festival (10 days of free and ticketed jazz across the city every July), and the extraordinary Copenhagen restaurant scene — which has produced more World's Best Restaurant winners than any other city.

Copenhagen Jazz Festival
Ten days of jazz across Copenhagen — 1,000 concerts, mostly free
The Copenhagen Jazz Festival is one of the world's great jazz events — ten days every July with over 1,000 concerts across the city, the majority of which are free. The festival transforms Copenhagen's streets, squares, parks, and venues into a vast jazz stage — from intimate club performances to large outdoor concerts in Kongens Nytorv and Nyhavn. International jazz legends and emerging Scandinavian artists perform side by side, and the festival's relaxed, accessible atmosphere — with most events free to attend — makes it one of the most democratic and enjoyable music festivals in Europe.
