Description was written before the event

I Think You're Awesome brings jazz to Elværket Åbyhøj on Thursday, 17 September 2026 at 19:30. This is one of two Danish dates for the group. Elværket is a cultural and community centre housed in the former power station built in 1913, which supplied electricity to the area until 1965. The 2016 renovation preserved the distinctive red brick walls and high ceilings. Tickets are 170 or 190 kroner.

About the venue: Elværket Åbyhøj

Elværket is a community cultural centre in Åbyhøj, housed in the former local power station built in 1913 and extended in 1927, which supplied electricity to the area until 1965. After years of work by local volunteers, it reopened in 2016 with the original red brick walls and high ceilings intact. The main hall holds up to 150 guests and hosts concerts, lectures, exhibitions and communal dinners. The venue is run entirely by volunteers and has a particularly strong music programme.

About: I Think You're Awesome

Since 2009, Jens Mikkel Madsen's sextet has been quietly redefining what Danish jazz can sound like - banjo, electronics and an eclectic ear for everything from afrobeat to americana. More than ten albums and countless sold-out shows have made them one of the country's most original live acts.
