Loppen, Music venue in Freetown Christiania, Denmark
Description
Loppen is a music venue located in Freetown Christiania that occupies a former military building with a capacity of around 300 people. The interior has a raw, unpretentious quality with basic furnishings that suit the alternative community setting.
History
The venue was founded in 1973 and grew from a small community project within Freetown Christiania into an established alternative music destination. Over the decades it has remained independent and resisted pressure to become more commercial.
Culture
The venue serves as a gathering place for people interested in alternative and independent music from around the world. Its role as a community-run space means it actively supports artists and scenes that might not get attention elsewhere.
Practical
The venue is easiest to reach by walking through Christiania via the Prinsessegade entrance, where signs guide you to the location. Since capacity is limited, popular shows tend to fill up quickly, so arriving early is recommended.
Did you know?
The venue is owned by a cooperative that makes decisions without formal hierarchy, holding regular meetings to guide operations. This structure allows for low ticket prices and a focus on artistic quality over profit.
