Det Stride Band is a Danish children's music project rooted in the quirky, illustrated world of author and illustrator Jakob Martin Strid. The band performs rock concerts for young audiences - drawing on songs and stories from the book and audio release *Mustafas Kiosk* (2010) - and tours libraries, culture festivals and family days across Denmark, targeting children aged 3 to 10.
Jakob Martin Strid's universe was at the center of the Fantastic Festival in Ebeltoft on June 27-28, 2026, where a new 2,000 m² playground based on his illustrations opened in Ree Park.
The Strid universe filled Ebeltoft town for an entire weekend with exhibitions, theater and treasure hunt as part of the Fantastic Festival.
In 2026, Jakob Martin Strid published the book *Mumbo Jumbo*, which joins a long series of new titles from his authorship since 2024.
The Stride Band performed at Family Day for Children at Niels Due Jensen Square in Bjerringbro, arranged in collaboration with Bjerringbro Byforum.
A free family day celebrating the library's renovation, featuring reptiles, theatre, crafts and children's rock music.
Det Stride Band brings Jakob Martin Strid's universe to life with rock songs, quirky stories and interactive moments for children aged 3-10.
