About
Ṣumūd (صمود) is a two-day festival in Copenhagen presented by DFUNK, the Danish-Arab cultural platform. Its name is Arabic for steadfastness, and the event celebrates Arab culture and the communities that stay connected through it.
What to expect
The festival brings together music, art, literature and talks. Its programme spans several forms, so visitors with different interests can find something to follow across both days. The detailed programme has not yet been announced, so it is worth checking back closer to the date for the lineup and session times.
Where and when
Ṣumūd takes place on 3 and 4 December 2026 at ALICE and Union in Copenhagen. ALICE is the main venue for the festival, with Union also hosting parts of the programme. Both are in the Danish capital, so the festival is easy to reach for visitors already exploring the city.
Practical notes
- Admission: free, though registration is recommended.
- Venues: ALICE and Union, Copenhagen.
- Programme: to be announced later.
- More information: available on the ALICE event page.
For anyone planning a trip to Copenhagen in early December, Ṣumūd offers a chance to spend an afternoon or evening with Arab music, art and conversation, and to meet the people who gather around them. Registering in advance is a sensible step, as it helps the organisers plan for attendance.
