Parken Stadium is Denmark’s national stadium and, since its inauguration in 1992, it has hosted more than 300 major events where sport, music, and shared moments have brought thousands of people together under one roof. Here, audiences have experienced everything from memorable concerts and intense international matches to dramatic Champions League games and other major sporting events, where the atmosphere can be felt far beyond the stadium and out into the streets of Østerbro. With a capacity of up to 50,000 guests, Parken is one of the country’s largest venues for major events, and its impressive 13,000-square-metre retractable roof makes it possible to host both open-air and covered events.

It is also here that the Danish national football team plays its home matches – evenings when national pride is at its strongest and the red-and-white colours fill the stands. On a daily basis, the stadium is the home ground of F.C. København, which plays in front of a passionate crowd that helps create the special atmosphere that characterises Parken.

Over the years, the concert line-up has featured some of the world’s biggest names. Audiences at Parken have sung along to hits by Whitney Houston, Paul McCartney, Michael Jackson, U2, The Rolling Stones, Madonna and Bruce Springsteen – along with many other Danish and international stars who have helped write the story of Parken.

For those who are curious to experience the stadium in a different way than from the stands, it is possible to join guided tours of Parken and get a look behind the scenes. On this tour, you will visit the players’ dressing rooms, see the players’ benches, and walk along the edge of the pitch while hearing the story of Parken. The guided tours are available in both Danish and English, and you can read more about the tours in Parken here.
