Define Festival this weekend

Music versus photography

It’s time again for the annual, cross-border, electronic Define Festival and this year they have a really interesting lineup. From partyman Bjørn Svin to a full on symphony orchestra there should be some great music and beats in store for people. And it’s cheap – about 50DKK per session.

2 days, 3 locations, lots of music
The interesting thing about this festival is that it is not confined to one location but takes place in a number of locations. You can go to one location, or you can travel around to the venues. The other years there was a cheap bus taking people from Sonderborg to Flensburg but I can’t find it mentioned this year.

Electronic Music Festival at Alsion 14th November

An exciting new cross-border music festival is seeing the light of day this year when DEFINE takes place in Flensburg, Germany and Sonderborg, Denmark. First it’s in Kühlhaus in Flensburg on November 4th and the week after it continues at Alsion on November 12th.

The line up doesn’t ring any bells for me, but it sounds like a great idea and I would love to hear some electronic in Alsions grand concert hall.

The two cities are 38km apart but according to Flensborg Avis there will be buses going between the cities for a mere euro 2.50, so it’s easy to take part in both parties.
