What started as a one-day festival celebrating club life back in 1998 has taken a life of its own, and is now a five-day mammoth mobile party that invades a different neighbourhood of Copenhagen each day.
The streets of each hood are transformed into total party zones during the day – chaos reigns, particularly on the day that the city centre is taken over – in anticipation of the huge rave that ends each day, attracting top names from the club scene such as Simian Mobile Disco.
Your idea of fun may not involve guzzling down beer at a street rave with party-crazed strangers, but with more than 300,000 people participating in 2011 there should be something for everybody. Look out for the more underground off-programme events running in parallel. This year the Distortion Queer Edition party takes place on Friday June 1 at Kifak (details on Facebook event page).
