About
Mayhem is a small, underground live music and club venue in Copenhagen, Denmark. It is the kind of place where the evening is built around the stage rather than around the bar, and where the crowd often stands close enough to feel the music.
What to expect
The venue is known for hosting punk, metal, experimental and electronic acts. That range means visitors can arrive with very different expectations and still find something to listen to. Because the room is small, the atmosphere tends to be intimate and direct, with the performers and audience sharing the same space.
- Genres: punk, metal, experimental and electronic music
- Format: live shows and club nights
- Feel: small, underground and informal
Planning a visit
Mayhem suits visitors who already enjoy alternative and independent music, or who want to see the more adventurous side of Copenhagen's nightlife. Since the programming changes, it is worth checking what is on before you travel, as the details of current events are not covered here.
Copenhagen itself makes a good base for an evening out. The city's central streets, cafés and transport links are close by, so it is easy to combine a show at Mayhem with dinner or a walk before or after. Plan to arrive with an open mind about the sound, and you will get the most from a venue of this kind.
