GrimFest

GrimFest is a small music festival, held each summer at a farm in Skjoldhøjkilen, Brabrand; a suburb of Aarhus, Denmark.
GrimFest features a broad range of genres, including rock, pop, electronic, hip hop and punk music. The festival started out as a garden party of four friends at the farm in 2004, and has grown continuously. It is based on volunteers and has a focus on up-coming local talent, with a few big names mixed in, also international stars. The three day festival can host a maximum of 5,000 guests, but some years only 2,000 tickets are offered. Apart from the music, GrimFest also includes attached events such as stand-up and street art culture like grafitti and skateboarding.
The festival was originally named "Danmarks Grimmeste Festival", as a joke and wordplay on the farm's name Grimhøj and the popular and more posh music festival "Danmarks Smukkeste Festival" in nearby Skanderborg. Despite its tiny size, GrimFest is a notable music festival event in Denmark, hosting several upcoming Danish bands, before they became well-established big names. This includes The [Minds of 99], Psyched Up Janis, Bikstok, Tessa, Tobias Rahim, Zar Paulo, and Myrkur.
