About the venue: VEGA

VEGA is one of Denmark's largest music venues, housed in a listed 1956 building on Vesterbro designed by architect Vilhelm Lauritzen, who also designed the Radiohuset. Originally called Folkets Hus, it reopened as a music centre in 1996 as part of Copenhagen's year as European Capital of Culture. The complex holds Store Vega (up to 1,500 standing), Lille Vega (up to 500 standing) and Ideal Bar, with around 350 concerts a year spanning rock, pop, hip-hop, jazz and electronic music.

About: Hess Is More

The Copenhagen drummer Mikkel Hess is the driving force behind Hess Is More, an international ensemble rooted in three cities whose sound moves freely between jazz, electronica and the dance floor. Nine albums in, the project remains a close creative partnership - not least with Mikkel's brother, pianist Nikolaj Hess.
