5 editor picks in Copenhagen.
5 live music in Copenhagen our editors have drunk at, sorted by score. All Copenhagen nightlife.
VEGA on Enghavevej runs Copenhagen's reference mid-size concert programme in a 1956 functionalist hall by architect Vilhelm Lauritzen, with Store VEGA for major tours, Lille VEGA at 500 capacity and Ideal Bar Live.
TipThree rooms run different bills the same night; check which room your ticket names. Lille VEGA becomes Natklub after the show on weekends.
Pumpehuset has run since 1989 in a former 19th-century water pump station off Studiestræde, with a 600-capacity main hall upstairs, a 400-capacity Sort Sal downstairs and the Byhaven beer-garden bar.
TipTwo stages run different bills the same night; ticket names the room. Byhaven beer garden opens through the summer with free entry.
Mojo on Løngangstræde has booked live blues, soul, rock and zydeco every night of the week since 1981, with one of the few European stages running music 365 days a year and a small basement room.
TipLive music every single night from around 21:30; cash easier than card. Sit close, the room is small enough that every seat hears the kit.
La Fontaine has run on Kompagnistræde since 1959 as Denmark's oldest jazz club, with a 100-seat basement room that programmes nightly jam sessions and trios alongside a smoke-stained ground-floor bar.
TipJam sessions from 21:00 Wednesday to Sunday; arrive before 22:00 for seats. Cash door, small cover on named bookings.
Jazzhus Montmartre reopened in 2010 on Store Regnegade at the original 1959 address, where Dexter Gordon, Ben Webster and Stan Getz held residencies; the 85-seat room books international touring jazz acts Thursday to Saturday.
TipSeating is unreserved; doors 19:00 for the 20:00 set. The Friends of Montmartre membership pays for itself across two visits.
