Late-June music: Bang bang all over Tivoli

 

Jessie J
Fri 19 June, 21:00; Fredagsrock Tivoli; 290kr

British pop singer Jessie J – aged 27 years old and recently a judge on the British version of ‘The Voice’ – is a one-of-a-kind armed with an astounding voice that gives you chills.

She has done a lot of collaborations and is often, maybe as a result, said to be underrated as an artist.

She is playing her first solo show in Denmark as part of the Fredagsrock series at Tivoli and will no doubt perform big hits such as ‘Bang bang’, ‘Alive’ and ‘Price Tag’.

Her pop sound invites every Tivoli visitor to have a little dance on a summer evening in Tivoli.
