NorthSide Festival, or simply NorthSide, is a three-day music festival held every year in June in Aarhus, Denmark. It has four stages with rotating artists and several sideshow events and happenings. The first festival commenced in 2010 and from 2011 to 2019, the festival has been held at Ådalen in Åbyhøj. The 2017 festival was attended by 40,000 people each day.[1] In 2022, for the very first time, NorthSide took place in Eskelunden, right by Aarhus Å and in the backyard of the city.
The festival now goes by the name NorthSide[2] to avoid confusion with the Northside Festival in Brooklyn. It is a privately owned festival, owned by Down The Drain Group, who also owns the Tinderbox music festival in Odense and is shareholder in other music business activities in Denmark.[3]
Besides the musical profile and a goal of creating profit for its owners, NorthSide has a mission statement focused on innovation, sustainability, and customer involvement.[4]
