Mid-July Music: Better Psyched out than dull in

Cph Psych Fest
July 13-16; Christiania; 685kr

If you are looking for a alternative to the typical summer festivals the Danes migrate to each summer, the four-day Psych Festival in Christiana might be an option to consider.

The line-up of mostly Scandinavian artists (with a few exceptions) takes place at several venues, including Loppen, in the freetown of Christiania.

Due to the high demand for tickets for the Psych Festival in 2015, which sold out quickly, this year’s event will have a larger capacity to enable more Psych fans to enjoy the music they love. (GD)

Oh Land

The North London four-piece alternative rock band will arrive fresh from appearing at Glastonbury for the third consecutive year. Formed in 2010, they did not release a full album until 2015, although a few singles has kept the wolf at bay. (GD)
