COPENHELL COMPLETES THIS YEAR’S MUSIC LINE-UP


In a Danish music context, COPENHELL presents a completely unique and historical concert this year when the legends from SORT SOL visit the festival on Saturday evening. Sparks will fly in the summer night when Danish punk rock’s grand old men go on stage with a more than 40 year long and versatile career behind them. 
 
SORT SOL has been an important pillar of the Danish rock scene ever since the early days in the punk band Sods in the late ’70s, up through the ’80s towards their great mainstream breakthrough with the hit album ‘Glamourpuss’ in 1992 – and further on towards 2001’s ‘Snakecharmer’ and the following long hiatus before the band returned to form with their most recent album, ‘Stor langsom stjerne’ in 2017.
