Description was written before the event

Nektar plays live at Rust in Copenhagen.

About the venue: Rust

RUST in Nørrebro opened in February 1990 and has since become one of Copenhagen's best-known live music venues. The name is a nod to Mathias Rust, the German pilot who landed on Red Square in 1987. The live stage covers indie rock, hip hop and electronica, with past acts including Bruno Mars, Post Malone and Trentemøller. Spread across three floors - the Bassment, main floor and Upstairs bar - it runs as both a concert venue and nightclub Wednesday through Saturday.

About: Nektar

Born out of Hamburg's underground scene in 1969, Nektar built their reputation on concept albums, space-rock improvisation, and a light show that was unlike anything else at the time. Their 1973 landmark "Remember the Future" remains a touchstone of the genre, and the band continues to tour and record new material.
