Chief 1 brings his annual Christmas show to Drop Inn in Copenhagen on Friday, 18 December 2026 at 21:00. The venue on Kompagnistræde has hosted cabaret entertainment since 1934 and earned the nickname "Den røde ged" from Danish veterans of the Spanish Civil War - a legacy that still shapes its bohemian character. This Copenhagen date is one of four Danish performances Chief 1 has scheduled throughout the year. Admission is 180 kroner.

About the venue: Drop Inn

Drop Inn on Kompagnistræde opened in 1934 as a restaurant with cabaret entertainment, soon nicknamed "Den røde ged" (The Red Goat) by Danish veterans of the Spanish Civil War. It became a refuge for jazz-loving bohemians, musicians and artists. Today it is an intimate live music venue with a near-floor-level stage, covering jazz, blues, rock and soul, with regular Jam Nights and a prominent role in the Copenhagen Jazz Festival.
