Liveurope Festival at VEGA 2026
-
The Liveurope Festival is heading north! On 3 and 4 December, our Danish venue VEGA will host the Nordic edition of our annual 2 day celebration of music discovery in Copenhagen.
As part of the Above 55° initiative, with the support of the Nordic Culture Fund, the festival will be an opportunity to discover new alternative Nordic talent and strengthen connections between the Nordic music scene and the wider European live music sector.
Beyond the showcase, we are excited to explore new technologies in live music with the Liveurope members and get insights from innovations at VEGA.
