Overview

Distortion Copenhagen is one of the more compelling music trips on the European festival calendar, bringing visitors to Copenhagen for a concentrated run of live performances, crowd energy, and local atmosphere. In practice, the experience works best when you treat the festival and the destination together rather than as separate parts of the trip. Its neighborhood by neighborhood format makes the city itself feel like the venue.
