The Royal Danish Library's successful summer stage LIVE in the Library Garden returns with lots of music, poetry and performance.

Over four late summer Thursdays from the end of August to the beginning of September, you can meet actors, poets, speakers and musicians under the open sky and in a historic setting. The bar is open and we are serving up a treat of irresistible, thought-provoking performances.

In the fourth edition of the library's summer stage, LIVE in the Library Garden, we will, with music, performance, poetry and polemical speeches, unfold this year's theme: Landscape. Again this year, the Royal Danish Library has taken the initiative to have new Danish poetry written as a response to our reality here and now.

In the middle of the garden between the Royal Danish Library and Christiansborg, the bastions of cultural heritage and power, you can experience singer and songwriter Anya, sociologist and headmaster at Suhrs Højskole, Rasmus Willig, actor Lars Brygmann, who will interpret the poem "Guldfisk og Bøger" by Klaus Rifbjerg, and the premiere of a new lyrical work by poet Rasmus Nikolajsen. The event is in Danish.

The cafe's pop-up bar is open, and you are welcome to bring your own picnic blanket or camping chair to sit on.
