With a shining sun above the city of Aarhus, SPOT Festival showcased a promising amount of Danish talent reaching for the stars. And with SPOT 2022 done, we’ve entered a season of concerts and fully packed calendars on both big and small stages all over Denmark.
Once again this year, City SPOT will paint the town with colours from the entire musical palette during the festival.
SPOT introduced Nordic Beats for the first time in 2019 with the intent of giving a little more room on the stage to the growing Nordic urban and hip hop scene that is so often neglected. The concept takes a handful of upcoming acts and allows them one by one to take the stage. Again this year, the event will unfold at the venue Radar which for two hours will be transformed into the North’s hottest concentration of heavy beats and strong lyricism. This year’s edition of Nordic Beats is presented in collaboration with the trendsetting hip hop podcast Dråben, with Loui Bosch-Fellah og Emil Lilleeidet Seest of Dråben acting as hosts for the evening.
We’re merely a month away from SPOT 2022. What a crazy sentence to write, since it’s only half a year since we last gathered at the very heart of Aarhus. But we’re more than ready to celebrate music once again, together with a great audience and all the skilled musicians. Today, this year’s line-up is given yet another shot of vitamins in the shape of 11 additional acts on the poster!
For the first time ever, Aarhus Sound Arts Festival will be a part of the SPOT Festival-lineup, presenting the total-installation The Pink Experience No. II.
Calling all metalheads!
This year’s SPOT Metal line-up has been finalised, and it’ll be heavy, hard-hitting and maybe a little hot on the 7th of May when metal music is allowed to takeover the venue TRAIN.
What is a festival without the possibility to dance a bit – either standing in front of the stages or sitting in a cozy seat at a venue (and yes, you can easily dance while sitting down). This round of names gives you the opportunity to move your feet and feel all of the feelings, no matter if you’re into techno, pop, hip hop or a bit of punk.
The dull weather and dreadful cold is soon to be over and instead we’re getting closer to the sun and blooming nature of the spring. This also means that SPOT 2022 is on the way and we welcome the bright hours with ten strong acts for the festival in May.
The restrictions regarding Covid-19 in Denmark are officially gone, January is finally over and we’re looking towards brighter times – not only literally, but in general. The absolute best way to celebrate all of this must be adding more buzzing names to the poster and start getting excited about the festival season that lies ahead. We’ve already announced 15 names, and we’ve got hundreds more to come – today we’re adding 10 thrilling acts, and there’s something for anyone.
A new year often calls for many new things in life and for SPOT it calls for new music to this year’s line-up. We have spent the last month finding ten new names to be added to the strong start to our line-up and now we’re ready to present them to you.
