K.B. Hallen is a multi-purpose arena located at Peter Bangs Vej in the Frederiksberg district of Copenhagen, Denmark. Originally, it was used primarily for badminton, tennis, basketball and volleyball, but also hosted other events, including dance tournaments and flea markets.[2]

It was re-inaugurated on 5 December 2018, after the original building was damaged in a severe fire on 28 September 2011. The new arena has a capacity of 4,500 that can be expanded up to 4,950 for concerts.

The arena is famous for being the venue where The Beatles' played their only two concerts on Danish grounds on 4 June 1964, as well as performances by The Who, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Chuck Berry, and Bob Dylan, alongside numerous shows by Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and Deep Purple.
