F.A.Q.

FAQ

K-Town Hardcore Fest is held at Ungdomshuset, Copenhagen, Denmark.

Ungdomshuset is an activist-run collective, community center and venue with a long history and ties to the international punk, anarchist and D.I.Y. movement(s).

You can read more about Ungdomshuset on it’s website.

Ungdomshuset has five house rules that we expect all our our guests to adhere to.

  • No hard drugs (this includes psychedelics and hallucinogens).
  • No violence.
  • No racism.
  • No sexism.
  • No heterosexism/homophobia.

We want our guests to feel and be safe and to have a good time when they visit. If you experience any house rules being broken please get in touch with our Door Crew or our Info Point at the festival entry! We take this matter very seriously and will deal with it accordingly.

In short:

  • Don’t be a creep!
  • Respect other people’s boundaries.
  • No means no.

Anyone doing/acting out any of the above mentioned things will be kicked out of the festival and banned from the future events.

General ticket info:

  • The majority of the 3-day-tickets will be sold online via Billetto (as pre-sale tickets). Pre-sale tickets are identical to 3-day-tickets in price and function.
  • 3-day-tickets will be sold at the door during the festival, and 100 1-day tickets will also be sold at the door every day.
  • 1-day-tickets can only be bought at the door/festival entry (ie. no online sale).
  • We can’t reserve tickets for you, even if you don’t have a credit card. Please get a friend to help you out.

All issues, payment problems and complaints about Billetto should be directed to Billetto’s support.

Neither sleeping or camping is possible in or around Ungdomshuset as it is in a residential area. Sorry!

Please don’t camp in our neighbourhood, as we’d like to keep complaints from our neighbours at a minimum.

For the last many years we’ve had agreements with Bellahøj Camping, which is quite close to Ungdomshuset. They give our guests a daily discount and this is an agreement we plan on having every year.

It’s great that you want to document the scene and K-Town, but please remember to not take random pictures of people without asking.

Filming or taking pictures of bands is ok – but it’s nice to ask the bands too.

We don’t do accreditation to media of any kind, you will have yo buy your own ticket(s).

Please DO NOT park on Dortheavej or anywhere else too close to Ungdomshuset.

We need that space for our neighbours and touring bands.

Great! Please read on how to apply here.

Absolutely fucking not!

Broken glass, drunk punx and loud music is a bad combo for your four-legged friend:

  • Pets are not allowed at the festival grounds.
  • Don’t chain your pet outside the festival grounds either.

  • The main festival areas are accessible for people using wheelchairs and walkers.
  • Though it might be difficult to navigate our courtyard due the sheer amount of people – obviously we encourage all of our guests to be aware of their surroundings and to show respect and common decency towards our festival guests.
  • Both concert halls are accessible via ramps, but the backstage areas (for bands and volunteers) have many stairs and steps unfortunately.

Please don’t bring your own drinks!

As we will be selling various kinds of cheap beers, sodas, cocktails and other beverages. Alcoholic as non-alcoholic!

Support Ungdomshuset and K-Town by buying your drinks at the venue.

 

Food

We sell 1000% vegan meals during the fest. Check out the Food Truck close to our festival entrance :)

K-Town Hardcore Fest is a cash only event.
We accept danish currency (DKK), but euros (€) are ok too.

Great! Just show up in the workshop during the festival and sign-up.

Distro spots requests for K-Town Hardcore Fest 2026 opens 1st of May 2026.

We have a limited amount of spots in our distro area and a lot of them are reserved for the performing bands. All other spots are on a first come, first served basis.  (PLEASE NOTE THE DATE FOR APPLYING)

If you run a punk label or have a distro and would like a spot, please get in touch via email. We’d like to know a bit about what you are selling and for how many days you need your spot (a maximum of three days) etc. Due to the limited amount of spots you will most likely end up sharing a distro tent with 1 or 2 other distros, or a band.

Non-bands still need to buy a festival ticket for the days they want to set up.

Want to play at K-Town?

A couple of things to know before applying:

  • We book K-Town Hardcore Fest only.
  • We are non-profit and 100% D.I.Y.
  • We do not accept Spotify links and we do not work with booking agencies. D.I.Y. is key!
  • Include a short description of your band and your sound using your own words.
  • Planning to tour around the dates of the fest? Please let us know (especially relevant for bands not based in Europe).
  • Bands that play metal, metalcore and “hardcore” need not apply. We are a hardcore punk fest.
  • We are not interested in Electronic Press Kits, PR or promo material, “professional” reviews etc. We have so many requests to go through, that this just becomes clutter.
  • We communicate via email, not DM’s.
  • Have patience – We will get back to you asap :)
