A new study shows that Danes love their concert venues – but few understand how the music scene is actually organized behind the curtain. Beatnickel is the missing link: the digital platform connecting musicians, venues, and communities so the music can live all year round – not just when the stage lights are on.

When people decide where to live, it’s not just about jobs and housing – it’s about quality of life. A thriving local music scene brings life to the city center, connects generations, and builds a shared sense of identity that citizens can be proud of.

People aged 41–55 value music the most – and they’re often the ones keeping the local music scene alive as organizers, teachers, and volunteers. Beatnickel gives this group new tools to organize, engage, and inspire the next generation of musicians.

The value of concert activities in Denmark is estimated at 2.1 billion DKK annually. Music isn’t just entertainment – it’s a return on investment in well-being, community, and local vitality. Beatnickel helps make that value visible and measurable.

It’s not just the young who go to concerts. A new survey shows that Danes of all ages take part in the music scene — and find community through it. Music is one of the few places where generations meet as equals. Beatnickel helps keep that connection alive – all year round.

A new national survey shows that 42% of Danes are willing to pay higher taxes to keep local concert venues alive. That’s not just support for entertainment — it’s an investment in quality of life, community, and belonging. Music isn’t a luxury. It’s part of the infrastructure that keeps our societies alive.
