The strongest small run in Copenhagen’s Thursday-to-Sunday concert week, October 22–25, is contained within three consecutive nights at ALICE. The venue’s Thursday, Friday and Saturday programme moves across Venezuelan experimental collage, a France-based guitar-and-vocal project shaped by Arabic influences, and Swiss-Moroccan club music rooted in raï and chaâbi. These are three separate worlds, yet each treats electronic production as a way of carrying regional sound, language and memory into a present-tense live setting. For listeners who want a coherent route instead of a genre silo, start in Nørrebro and stay with the sequence.[1]
Thursday’s opening chapter arrives with weed420 and Copenhagen support Goat Arc. ALICE frames the Venezuelan collective’s work as futuristic protest music, while its description traces a collage method built from noise, dark cloud rap, ambient, salsa and perreo. The group’s 2025 album Amor de Encava draws on the sounds and imagery of Venezuelan public buses; the band’s own release page describes it as an album about a bus, a nostalgic bus driver and Venezuelan loneliness. That context gives the concert a useful point of entry: expect rhythm and texture to carry as much weight as conventional song form. Goat Arc opens with an audiovisual set using distorted synths, guitars and vocals, making this a particularly good first stop for ears tuned to abrasion, rupture and detail.[2][5]
On Friday, Kiss Facility brings a different kind of density to ALICE, with Ydegirl opening. The duo joins Emirati-Egyptian vocalist and artist Mayah Alkhateri with producer Salvador Navarrete, known as Sega Bodega. ALICE describes Kiss Facility’s setup as guitar and voice, where shoegaze and indie rock meet Arabic musical influences; the combination gives the night a deliberately intimate centre after Thursday’s overloaded collage. Their debut album KHAZNA arrived in early 2026, and the Copenhagen date is billed as the duo’s first Danish performance. Ydegirl extends the evening’s attention to vocal atmosphere, placing modern R&B and pop within arrangements that combine classical instruments, synths and electronic beats. The pairing makes Friday the most inward-looking night of the run, with saturation, suspended vocals and carefully placed melodic lines at its core.[3]
Thursday, October 22: weed420 turns transit noise into a live collage
weed420 plays ALICE at 20:00, following Goat Arc. The concert is the run’s rawest proposition: a Venezuelan collective whose recorded work connects lo-fi and vaporwave surfaces with reggaetón, salsa, distorted voices and ambient passages. Amor de Encava was released and distributed by Deprerreo on February 14, 2025, and its credits underline a collaborative production approach across the record. In the room, that history should make the band’s use of buses, urban movement and scattered pop references feel less like decoration and more like material with social weight. Arrive for the opener; Goat Arc’s audiovisual approach makes the full bill part of the point.[2][5]

Friday, October 23: Kiss Facility holds the room close
Kiss Facility and Ydegirl begin at 21:00 at ALICE. Kiss Facility’s live language is spare in its basic components and expansive in its implications: guitar, voice, shoegaze haze and Arabic-inflected melody. ALICE identifies Alkhateri and Navarrete as the project’s central pair, and situates Ydegirl’s opening set between R&B, pop, Nordic-baroque imagery and electronic rhythm. Friday’s programme therefore connects two approaches to precision in arrangement, one built from saturated guitar space and one from voice-led, detail-rich pop. Check the official page before heading out: the venue currently marks the concert as waiting-list entry.[3]
Saturday, October 24: Sami Galbi brings raï and chaâbi into club scale
Sami Galbi closes the route at 21:00 on Saturday, joined by Inès Mouzoune and drummer-percussionist Yann Hünziker. The Swiss-Moroccan multi-instrumentalist and producer draws on North African folk and working-class forms, especially raï and chaâbi, then reshapes them through drum machines, synths, guitar effects and club-oriented momentum. His 2025 debut YLH BYEBYE appears in Bongo Joe Records’ catalogue, grounding the set in a label world associated with exploratory contemporary music. Galbi’s trio format matters here: it gives the final night a physical, ensemble-led lift after weed420’s fragmented city collage and Kiss Facility’s close-up guitar-and-voice tension. It is a concise route through three ways of making hybrid music feel immediate.[4][6]
Plan the three-night route
All three concerts take place at ALICE, Nørre Allé 7, 2200 Copenhagen. weed420 with Goat Arc starts at 20:00 on Thursday, October 22; Kiss Facility with Ydegirl starts at 21:00 on Friday, October 23; and Sami Galbi starts at 21:00 on Saturday, October 24. Each bill sits before the Sunday, October 25 close of the weekly window, leaving room to take the run at its own pace.
