Friday Jazz at the Waterfront

Enjoy free jazz concerts in the afternoon sun in front of The Black Diamond on Fridays most of the summer.

Every Friday from the end of June to the beginning of August, you can spend your Friday afternoon in the sun on the waterfront, listening to some of the best established names and representatives of the exuberant Danish talent pool within the jazz genre.

On the waterfront, jazz can be enjoyed every Friday afternoon 4-6 p.m. The café's pop-up bar is of course open and serves cold drinks, snacks, and a summer atmosphere.

Please note: In case of bad weather (rain or wind), the event will be moved indoors to the beautiful Atrium of the Diamond overlooking the harbour.

Seating is limited, so arrive in good time.
