COPENHELL is a festival that celebrates rock and metal culture. It respects the past, represents the present and paves the way for the future. It is characterized by great respect for those that have been a part of creating and building the heavy music scene throughout the years, a strong shared desire to bring contemporary bands to the stages and not least the drive to support future talents and help them towards their breakthrough.
COPENHELL provides space for everything from new local bands to big international acts. The festival reflects the development of heavy music and serves a sharply curated selection of music experiences every year, which appeals to both those who want to experience the biggest bands live, those who want to experience new and unknown groups, and everything in between.
No matter whether you were born wearing a battle vest and headbanged before you could crawl, or you have never attended a festival before, you will feel welcome at COPENHELL. This is the place where all generations meet in their shared love of heavy music and culture. At COPENHELL, there is room for everyone who ventures through the gates of hell with the desire to experience a rock and metal festival of international class on blackened Danish soil.

Refshaleøen is a former industrial site in the harbor of Copenhagen, Denmark, originally on a separate island but now annexed to the larger island of Amager. For more than a hundred years, it was home to the shipyard Burmeister & Wain, which closed in 1996.
In 1624, a block house was built on the original island, then much smaller, to guard the entrance to Copenhagen harbor together with St. Ann’s Fortress (now Kastellet) on the coast just north of city. Reclamation increased the size of the island considerably in the 1870s when the port’s waterways were made deeper. Burmeister & Wain established a shipyard on the island in 1871. At its height, the shipyard employed 8,000 people, and so appears as an icon of Danish industrial history.
