Tears for Fears – Live… and then some
One of the most successful British pop duos are about to release their first-ever live album. "Songs For A Nervous Planet" is a compilation of songs from their vast backlist of super songs; all played and recorded live at the FirstBank Amphitheater in Franklin, Tennessee in 2023. But that's not all.

The return of the Alphabeat
It has been almost seven years since the Danish indie-pop outfit, Alphabeat, toured with a new album. They 'Don't Know What's Cool Anymore' they say. We beg to differ, and though much remains the same, some has changed. The 'Fantastic 6' appear stronger, more mature and far, far better than ever before.

Latebar’s best live experiences in 2019
2019 was quite a lot busier concert-wise than most other years - believe it or not. Despite some fatigue, old age, and growing expenses we went for quite a few of those gigs anyway. Here are the best!

George Ezra spread stardust over Jelling
With a set of truly amazing songs George Ezra totally and utterly managed to set the mood for the entire Jelling Festival 2019. To make music able to please party-starving Scandinavians and satisfy the music feinschmeckers is quite a task. However, Ezra's delivery was sublime and very, very well played.

Kravitz with love and raised vibrations
A surprisingly cold evening in May turned significantly less so for 12,000 assembled spectators in the Danish city of Horsens. The American superstar, Lenny Kravitz, paid the venue 'Faengslet' a visit, offering warm-heartedness and a catalogue full of extremely well-played songs – new and old.

Hard-Wired Metallica Rocked the Heath
The world's most prominent and arguably best metal band, Metallica, visited the city of Herning, Denmark, on Tuesday. 15,000 fans in a sold-out Boxen Arena witnessed a energetic and well-prepared outfit in top form.

Sting propelled by a Fiction Plane
What was to be one more name on the growing list of international superstars visiting the exclusive open air venue, Molleparken, in Sonderborg, Denmark, quickly became two. British icon Sting brought with him the next generation of Sumners. His oldest son, Joe, is now an established name in this region, for sure.

In Jelling we are all Majesties
As always there is an abundance of impressions left after Jelling Musikfestival. Marking the beginning of festival season in Denmark it draws a lot of attention. And as always far most fully acts live up to expectations - as do the festival itself. Even the heightened security measures this year did not impede the joy for the 35,000 guests. Bravo! However, one thing will stand out as the event we at the Latebarblog will remember the 2017 festival by.

The Jelling festival bellows of 2016
If we are to conclude anything from the Jelling Musikfestival 2016 it could be at least three different things. First thing is about the festival's ability to create an uniquely convenient, pleasant and all over relaxing atmosphere of any pop-rock festival in Denmark. The second is about the management's talent for always finding one or two international names to make the otherwise little borough of Jelling stand out. The third and for Danes very important surely is - the country still produces young new talents with a capital 'T'.

Come see Bright Sparks in Jelling
One day away from the 27th Jelling Musikfestival and the beginning of the festival season in Denmark. We know most Danes will go only for what they already know, and thereby miss half of their ticket's worth. So we at Latebar thought it necessary to help our fellow countrymen find new bright stars (or Sparks) in Jelling 2015.

Seek Shelter and let the party Emerge
This post was supposed to be about the British pop legends Erasure, their new album 'The Violet Flame' and their December 10th gig in Aarhus, Denmark... But though the album is the best Erasure studio-album in a decade and their performance in Aarhus was totally flawless in every aspect, we are still a bit numbed in awe of another duo. The name is 'Shelter' and we think it's safe to say, they made a lasting impression in Denmark.

Carpark North – Flying Phoenix of DK
Even though the bandmembers of the Danish electro-rock trio Carpark North, Lau Hojen, Soren Balsner and Morten Thorhauge are only in their early thirties, they're slowly turning into well-established veterans on the stage. Currently the band is touring Denmark with their new album 'Phoenix' – and as usual the band conducts their gigs as if it were their last.
