The story
Distortion Copenhagen in Copenhagen
Distortion Copenhagen stages 20 to 40 free street parties a day, rotating through Norrebro, Vesterbro and the harbour on successive days each late May into early June, hosted by local shops, clubs and bars rather than one central organiser. The week builds to Distortion X, larger flagship street parties, and Distortion Club's ticketed nightclub events, drawing over 100,000 participants across the run.
Denmark's biggest street party moves to a different Copenhagen neighbourhood each day of its run, turning Norrebro, Vesterbro and the harbour area in sequence into open-air block parties before the entire operation is cleaned up overnight and rebuilt somewhere else the following afternoon.
