The party you don't want to miss!

When VEGA turns 30 in September 2026, we'll do it big. Really big.
On Saturday, September 5th, we open the doors to Apollonian Circles, a staged concert experience where music, scenography and audience merge into one wild, collective celebration of VEGA as a concert hall, meeting place and magical space.

Guest soloists:
Oily Wallace
Carl Knast
Mette Lindberg
Henrik Vibskov
Daniel Nentwig (The Whitest Boy Alive
Jeuru
Michala Petri

Apollonian Circles is Hess Is More's circular concert format, where the audience is invited right up close to the musicians – and becomes an active part of the musical circuit. There is no stage, no hall, no separation. Only music that arises in the moment as a shared, bodily experience.

The music moves between orchestral experimental pop, collective improvisation and rhythmic trance, where repetitions slowly build intensity. The musicians react to each other – and to you. At first subdued and expectant, then more insistent, until it all tips over into dance, ecstasy and loving chaos.

Store VEGA turns into a huge party
For one evening, Store VEGA becomes a living feast. In the middle of the hall stands a long table – stage, gathering point and the heart of the party. The instruments are part of the setting, the musicians sit around the table, and the audience stands close together. Here, the music is created together, just like at a party that grows bigger and bigger.

For VEGA's 30th birthday, Hess Is More invites a number of special guest soloists who contribute to the party's musical and performative diversity. It is a concert that celebrates VEGA as a concert hall for three decades, music as a meeting place and the special magic that occurs when we let go together.

Come join us for VEGA's 30th anniversary and buy your ticket and let's celebrate 30 years of music, community and unforgettable moments together. Because as they say in the Apollonian universe: "You don't dance because you're happy. You're happy because you dance."
