Copenhagen’s November 5–8 concert weekend contains a particularly revealing three-night sequence at Amager Bio. On Thursday, November 5, Clawfinger arrive with Sickret; Friday, November 6, brings Eagles of Death Metal and James And The Cold Gun; Saturday, November 7, belongs to Frank Martini – Party of the Century. The immediate link is volume and scale, yet the more useful connection is the room itself: a former cinema whose present-day calendar still treats a concert as a full evening occasion. Across three nights, Amager Bio moves from the hard-edged rap-metal vocabulary of the early 1990s to a rock-album celebration and an immersive 1920s-styled party format.[1][2][3][4]

That elasticity sits deep in the venue’s history. Amager Bio began life as a cinema in 1941, then opened as a modern concert venue in February 1997 after its two cinema halls were joined into one larger room. Its first season included classical music, opera, rock, film screenings and theatre; its current profile centres rhythmic music, particularly rock, blues and metal, while leaving room for pop and electronic bookings. The November run reads as a compact expression of that history. It also explains why the hall can frame three different kinds of theatricality without asking the audience to treat them as variations of the same night out.[1]

Thursday’s Clawfinger concert starts at 20:00, with Sickret in the special-guest slot. Formed in Stockholm in 1989, Clawfinger became an early force in the meeting point between rap and metal, breaking through with Deaf Dumb Blind in 1993. The current date is billed as part of the Before We All Die tour, a title that places a contemporary frame around a group whose musical identity has long depended on direct rhythms, weight and forceful delivery. For Amager Bio, it is a strong opening statement: a band rooted in crossover metal playing in a house that explicitly gives rock and metal a central place in its booking.[1][2]

Friday’s full-album centrepiece

Eagles of Death Metal take over at 20:00 on Friday, November 6, with James And The Cold Gun supporting. The concert is sold out, and it has a precise anniversary premise: the band will mark 20 years of its second album, Death By Sexy, by performing the record in full alongside other material. The group’s own announcement confirms that the European tour is built around the album’s twentieth anniversary; Death By Sexy was released in 2006. This is the weekend’s clearest case of Amager Bio functioning as a place for shared catalogue memory, with a whole album giving the night a beginning, shape and reason for return.[3][5]

A Saturday built around the room

Saturday changes the temperature completely. Frank Martini – Party of the Century begins at 20:00, following a 19:30 door time, and its presentation draws on hot jazz, electro swing, dance, burlesque and circus imagery in a 1920s-inspired setting. It is artist-arranged and carries an 18-plus age limit. Those details matter because this is framed as a designed environment as well as a concert: the old cinema’s large hall becomes part of the proposition, with the audience invited to dress for the occasion. The contrast with Clawfinger and Eagles of Death Metal is substantial, while the venue’s booking logic remains coherent: each night uses the same substantial room for a deliberately public, high-impact performance.[1][4]

For practical planning, Clawfinger plays Thursday, November 5 at 20:00; Eagles of Death Metal plays Friday, November 6 at 20:00 and is currently sold out; Frank Martini – Party of the Century follows Saturday, November 7 at 20:00. Amager Bio is at Øresundsvej 6 in Copenhagen S.
