As winter’s grasp envelops the city, the need for warmth, connection, and live music becomes palpable. For many, Belma is the go-to destination. During the Copenhagen Winter Jazz festival, this bar on Istedgade transforms into a vibrant hub of musical activity, hosting free concerts nightly at 8 PM from January 31 to February 28.
At Belma, jazz knows no boundaries. The music dances effortlessly between jazz, pop, experimental sounds, and songwriting, creating an atmosphere that welcomes both the seasoned aficionados and the uninitiated. Here, you’re invited to immerse yourself in the rhythm—regardless of your prior knowledge of the genre.
The festival’s programming is anchored by a dedicated house band led by talented musician and composer Tobias Stavngaard. This continuity elevates the musical experience, while also welcoming a lineup of distinguished artists such as ANYA, Yör, and Karl William, each bringing their unique flair and energy to the stage.
In partnership with 1664 Bière and Bombay Sapphire, Belma crafts evenings where music takes center stage without sacrificing the bar’s warm and inviting ambiance.
