Distortion is a celebration of "Street Life and New Dance Music" all over Copenhagen in the streets, venues, the harbour and a festival site. With over 100,000 visitors, it is one of the large annual gatherings in Europe, every year for a week ending on the first Saturday of June. The Distortion week includes free community street parties with 10-40 small stages per day in Nørrebro, Vesterbro and the Copenhagen Harbour, a few major street parties called Distortion X, and a bunch of night-time events in venues and nightclubs called Distortion Club. The weekend finale is called Distortion Ø, by far the largest electronic music event in Scandinavia: a rave with 4-8 stages on an industrial island of the Copenhagen harbour.
