GrimFest Aarhus
GrimFest Aarhus
GrimFest offers the best in Danish music – both the emerging talents and big, established names. In addition to the music, you can experience Stand Up, poetry slams and creative initiatives as well as two large skate contests with participants from all over the country.
Foodies can look forward to a delicious food court or the opportunity to book a table at Restaurant GRIM Lauget. If you want a real festival experience, you can bring a tent or caravan and spend the night at the camp right next to the site.
Come and experience the unique, cozy atmosphere in the green surroundings of Grimhøjgaard.
Friday, October 3rd at 12:00 noon, ticket sales for GrimFest 2026 will open. Mark your calendar, find a seat at the computer – and be ready when the first tickets go on sale.
This year you can buy all the important tickets at once:
- Partout tickets
