Every year at the start of June, NorthSide invites you to a fantastic three-day music festival, where the world’s biggest stars, as well as new rising artists are presented. The music ranges far and wide, so there is always something for everyone – also those seeking to expand their musical horizons. NorthSide creates experiences that cannot be found anywhere else, and it is almost impossible cover everything that Northside has to offer in just three days.
Experience the spectacular Sideshow, where cabaret, sword swallowing and circus go hand in hand, spoil yourself with the 100% organic and irresistible food selection, which lures anyone to indulge, or explore the site’s many small nooks. No matter where on the site you go, NorthSide guarantees a program packed with unforgettable experiences.
NorthSide is Denmark’s most sustainable festival and is dedicated to constantly raising the bar with new, sustainable initiatives. Among the many initiatives, it can be mentioned that all food is plant-based and 100% organic, and that there is no bottled water. In addition, in 2022 NorthSide was the first major festival in the world to run on 100% green electricity.

Eskelunden is a nature and event area in Aarhus, which is used as an urban park near the centre of town. Furthermore, Eskelunden is Aarhus’ outdoor concert venue that hosts large urban concerts, festivals, and large events – for instance the popular annual music festival, NorthSide.
Most of the year, you can go to Eskelunden to relax and enjoy nature or work out outdoors. Bring your own food for a picnic, play ball on the grass, or watch the birds by the stream.
Eskelunden is encircled by one of Aarhus’ most beautiful walking and biking paths near Brabrand Sø lake, and from there, you will have no trouble finding a bus that can take you all over the city.
