After four years away from our heart in Nørrebro, the new ALICE opens its doors on September 6 with a huge bang of a concert opening week. ALICE reopens not only with, among other things, new ventilation from the Municipality of Copenhagen, but also in completely renovated interior settings with support from the A.P. Møller Foundation, which generously donated a grant last year.

ALICE returns to Nørrebro

The regional music venue of Nørrebro, and Denmark’s leading promoter of diversity in rhythmic music, opens the doors to a newly renovated venue and celebrates its homecoming with a seven-day musical extravaganza in September. Visualization by JJW Architects.

After four turbulent years with first a pandemic and then a venue that was shut down due to health risks, ALICE now returns home to its own concert hall in the heart of Nørrebro. The regional music venue reopens not only with, among other things, new ventilation from the Municipality of Copenhagen, but also in completely renovated interior settings with support from the A.P. Møller Foundation, which generously donated a grant last year. Here, ALICE will be the stage for more than 250 concerts annually across diversity and genres and establish itself as Denmark’s leading promoter of diversity in rhythmic music. After a temporary relocation to Stairway in Vanløse for the past 1.5 years, ALICE looks forward to giving Nørrebro its venue back again when they move back home on September 6.

ALICE’s director, HC Gimbel, states:

“For the past 1.5 years, we have been relocated to Vanløse. We have succeeded with impressive ticket sales. But even though we have an audience from large parts of the country and all around Copenhagen and its surroundings, we can also see that a very large part of the audience still comes from Nørrebro. Therefore, even though it is of course regrettable to move from premises that we have put enormous energy into building up over the past 1.5 years, there is no doubt where we belong. That’s why we are immensely looking forward to returning to our core audience in Nørrebro in September.”

Celebrating reopening with a seven-day musical extravaganza
The reopening takes place on Friday, September 6, when ALICE presents a seven-day magnificent concert program that reflects all aspects of the venue’s diverse music profile. The program is curated by ALICE’s music group and features, among other things, Congolese Afro-funk, post-traditional folk music from the North Caucasus, an inauguration ritual with six drummers, irresistible bagpipe playing, a British dub legend, ecstatic dance parties, and much more.

Tickets for all concerts in the opening program will go on sale Wednesday, May 8, at 10 am.
