Every year there is a grand party in the streets of Copenhagen, when the electronic music festival and street party Distorsion starts. The whole vision behind Distorsion is to move the music and the party into the urban space. Every day during Distorsion week, the party moves to a new district, where music scenes with different genres of music, long tables for large communal dinners, children's distortion and a lot of other local events take place. No matter what type of music or party you are at, there is a party for everyone. The very special atmosphere of an entire urban space that parties together is an experience you do not get in many other places.
