Daddy's Dance Hall, Music venue in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Daddy's Dance Hall was a music venue at Axeltorv in Copenhagen with a main concert space that became a hub for international rock performers in the 1970s. The space could accommodate different audience sizes and stage presentations.
The venue gained prominence in 1977 through two consecutive performances by the Sex Pistols, which inspired the formation of Danish band Sods, later renamed Sort Sol. This concert marked a turning point in the local music scene.
The venue served as a gathering place for rock musicians from around the world during the 1970s, drawing performers like Chuck Berry and Iggy Pop to Copenhagen. These international shows shaped the city's music culture in lasting ways.
The venue now operates under the name Den Anden Side and continues to host music events in a central location. The Axeltorv location is easily walkable and remains a music hub in the heart of the city.
The spot was the stage for a memorable moment when a legendary British punk band performed for two nights and directly influenced the Danish punk movement. This brief series of shows sparked a new wave of musical creativity in the city.
