Partout and one-day tickets can be purchased via the ticket link.

A COLOSSAL WEEKEND is VEGA's genre-crossing, boundary-pushing festival for heavy, dark and experimental music. The festival presents over 3 days in May approx. 30 acts from all over the world, some of which will be completely new and unknown, while others will be established headliners. A Colossal Weekend has been taking place since 2016 and has featured names like Cult of Luna, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Deafheaven, Anna Von Hausswolff, Russian Circles, Wolves in The Throne Room, Emma Ruth Rundle and Alcest over the years.

In 2025, A Colossal Weekend will take place from 8-10 May in VEGA and Basement at Vesterbro in Copenhagen. Part-out tickets are on sale now, while the final program is announced and single-day tickets go on sale in early 2025.

The first names on the poster Saturday are:

KELLERMENSCH (DK)

KELLERMENSCH from Esbjerg has, since the debut album in 2008, distinguished itself as one of the most significant local alternative rock bands with the unique, charismatic singer and songwriter Sebastian Wolff at the front. On record, the band's songwriting and tone-heavy but delicate interplay shines, and live they are no less among the country's best and most celebrated.

GOOD IS AN ASTRONAUT (IS)

Their new masterpiece of an album Embers (2024) is out, and of course the astronauts have it with them when they visit A Colossal Weekend. God Is an Astronaut is an instrumental trio based in Wicklow, Ireland, who play progressive, psychedelic rock music spiced up with instruments such as sitar, cello and frame drums.

PALLBEARER (US)

The American doom rockers PALLET BEARERS is one of the genre's innovators, who has both respect for tradition and a challenging sense of adventure. On the latest album Mind Burns Alive from this year they show themselves as masters of melancholy - a feeling that they manage to communicate in the finest way in a concert context.

JO QUAIL (UK)

Yes Quail masters his instrument and combines it with innovative looping techniques to create his complex and evocative music. From her performance we can expect world-class virtuosity, musical vision and courage beyond imagination.

BOSCO SACRO (IT)

Italian BOSCO SACRO delivers dreamy ambient doomgaze and has already attracted quite a bit of interest and attention.

DAUFØDT (NO)

DAUFØDT is one of the most exciting bands from the vibrant Norwegian punk scene, and the band delivers completely wild and high-energy concerts, which the Danish audience got to feel at Roskilde Festival in 2022. We get the pleasure of that at A Colossal Weekend, where they play a concert with the main focus on the material from the 2024 album Glitter.

More names for the poster will be announced on an ongoing basis, and the final program is expected to be announced at the beginning of 2025. The final program will offer 9-10 acts every day spread over 3 stages.
