Friday, September 25 offers a compact route through two forms of musical rupture. At 21:00, Grito Exclamac!ón and GRÓA meet at ALICE in Nørrebro; across town, Cities Aviv arrives at Loppen in Christiania at the same hour, with Soli City on DJ duties. The bills come from different musical lineages, yet each puts pressure on familiar song structures: one through the communal force of guitars, drums and voices, the other through clipped samples, unstable forms and rap pulled into collage. For Copenhagen listeners looking beyond a conventional genre lane, this is the week’s clearest two-stop choice.[1][2][3]
Mexico City meets Reykjavík at ALICE
The ALICE double bill is built around contact between two loud, volatile band languages. The venue frames Grito Exclamac!ón as emerging from Mexico City’s underground amid social and political tensions, with aggressive vocals, guitar, melodic bass, shifting rhythms, trumpet interruptions and theatrical flourishes in its account of the group’s live vocabulary. That description gives the Friday show a useful point of entry: expect music whose components carry equal weight, with rhythm and arrangement doing as much narrative work as a lead vocal.[1]
GRÓA brings a different but compatible charge from Reykjavík. ALICE describes the Icelandic trio through post-punk, noise rock and off-kilter art-pop, emphasising a playful, unruly quality alongside the volume. Together, the two groups make the evening feel less like a neatly matched support slot and headline slot than a bill designed around friction, pace and collective release. Doors are listed for 20:00 at ALICE, with the concert beginning at 21:00.[1]

Cities Aviv’s collage arrives at Loppen
At Loppen, Cities Aviv provides Friday’s inward, electronic counterpart. The venue presents the US artist’s Copenhagen appearance in connection with Even Colder Spring, while Black Truffle identifies it as a 16-track release and a rare outing beyond his D.O.T. Audio Arts label. The label’s account centres on interrupted productions, field recordings, fuzz-heavy details and a vocal range spanning intricate rap, murmurs and freely melodic singing. That makes this a show for listeners interested in hip-hop as a material to be cut up, distorted and reassembled in real time.[2][3]
Loppen’s programme places Soli City before or around Cities Aviv as the bill’s DJ presence, describing the Copenhagen artist’s work through classical composition, epic collage and digital reality. The pairing gives the night a coherent internal logic: music assembled from layers, references and abrupt changes, with the DJ set extending that sensibility into the room. Loppen lists the event for 21:00 on Friday, September 25.[2]
Choose a room, then check the details
Pick ALICE for a direct encounter with Mexico City punk and Reykjavík noise-rock energy; choose Loppen for Cities Aviv’s current experimental hip-hop chapter and Soli City’s collage-minded framing. Both concerts take place on Friday, September 25, within the Thursday, September 24 through Sunday, September 27 guide window. Start times are 21:00 for each show, though ALICE lists doors at 20:00.
