It's finally summer, and Copenhagen is gearing up for a season full of festivals. Forget about mud and warm tents and enjoy the many cool - and different - music experiences in the city.

SV-festival in Sydhavnen

If you don't like crowded festival spaces, you'll love Sydhavnen's local SV-festival, which brings music to local venues, cafés, schools, squares, streets and quaysides.

The SV-festival lasts a whole week and has created a new festival centre at Karens Minde Kulturhus, where you can experience an intense programme on Friday June 6 and Saturday June 7.

Admission to all concerts is free, so look forward to getting out in Sydhavnen and experiencing lots of new and exciting music - the Metro takes you directly to Mozarts Plads in the heart of Sydhavn.

ENGAGE Festival at Kastellet

In June, Kastellet will once again be buzzing with life and music when ENGAGE Festival invites you to two days of music, celebration and community. If you take the Metro to Marmorkirken, you're almost there.

The festival will take place on Friday 13 and Saturday 14 June in a unique historical setting, where you can experience great artists and exciting upcoming names from the Danish music scene such as Østen, Hugorm, Aphaca, Barselona and Ella Augusta.

The Veteran Foundation is behind the festival, so all profits go towards improving conditions for Denmark's veterans.

AiaSound on Amager

AiaSound is Copenhagen's very own festival at Tiøren, a beautiful natural area with grass, sand and water - just 10 minutes away from the vibrant centre of Copenhagen.

If you take the Metro to Femøren, it's only a two-minute walk to the entrance and two days of high energy, iconic hits and electronic beats await.

You can meet international artists Wizkid, Ferg and Skepta as well as Danish artists Morten and Sivas.

From Mozarts Plads, it's just a short walk to the festival site where you can soak up the great atmosphere, enjoy the music and the party - and take the Metro back home.
