About this venue
Refshaleøen is a distinctive festival venue on the edge of Copenhagen’s harbor, where a raw industrial backdrop turns into a stage for major open-air events. Its wide, adaptable grounds support different setups—from more intimate concert areas to large festival plazas—giving each show a recognizable, modern atmosphere.
Inside, the experience is defined by openness and solid sightlines: moving between stages and amenities feels natural, while the industrial architecture and sea air add a unique vibe. Visitors appreciate smooth flow, clearly marked entrances, and a strong food and drink offering, with enough space to recharge without losing touch with the action.
The micro-location is easy to navigate: Refshalevej 151, Copenhagen, Denmark. Most guests approach via Refshalevej by car or bike, with parking options in the surrounding area, and the nearest bus stop is on the same road, just a short walk from the entrance.

About the city
Copenhagen, the elegant Danish capital by the sea, is not only a city of design and gastronomy, but also one of Europe’s most appealing destinations for top-tier events. Here, the urban pulse naturally blends with a relaxed Scandinavian atmosphere, so going to a concert or a match is often just the beginning of a complete city experience. Visitors appreciate the city’s clarity, safety, and the feeling that everything is within reach, making planning a night out simple and stress-free.
The city prides itself on efficient infrastructure and excellent connectivity, thanks to the network of Metro lines, the suburban S-tog trains, and buses. Arriving is convenient for travelers flying into Københavns Lufthavn, Kastrup, as well as for those coming by train to København H, the main railway station in the city center. From these key points, it’s easy to continue to arenas and stadiums, whether by public transport or your own vehicle, supported by clear signage and a logical city layout.
Take the opportunity to stroll through Indre By before or after the event, pause by the canals and promenades, and soak up the atmosphere of this waterfront city. Nyhavn delivers that iconic postcard mood, while Strøget is perfect for an easy walk and shopping in the heart of town. For an extra touch of magic, there are the Tivoli gardens, and the city’s palaces and squares offer that special blend of history and modern culture that makes Copenhagen memorable long after you return home.
