Vega, Music venue in Vesterbro, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Vega is a performance center with two main concert halls of different sizes and several smaller rooms for different types of events. The larger hall holds around 1,150 people while the smaller one accommodates about 500 visitors.
The building was created in 1956 as Folkets Hus, designed by architect Vilhelm Lauritzen as a gathering place for ordinary people. A major renovation in 1996 transformed it into the music venue it is today.
The venue shapes the evening culture of Vesterbro by hosting a wide mix of local and international performers throughout the year. It serves as a gathering place for music lovers from across the city, where diverse sounds fill the halls night after night.
The venue is located in the heart of Vesterbro and is easy to reach by public transport. Visitors should check the website to see what events are coming up and plan their visit accordingly.
The building is among Denmark's younger structures to receive special architectural protection, honoring its mid-century design elements. This makes it a rare example of protection given to buildings less than a century old.
