Afgang 2025: The best of the next

”An engine room for some of Europe’s most exciting music”, is what RMC is called by The Guardian and in June everyone can hear it for themselves.

RMC Afgangsfestival is the yearly graduation festival at Rhythmic Music Conservatory (RMC) and the biggest festival with upcoming music and sound art in Copenhagen. Two weeks of summer evenings at Holmen in the middle of the Danish Capital with exclusive and completely free music experiences from the top of the growth layer.

More than 50 final concerts and presentations by musicians, songwriters, producers and composers from the educational programmes at RMC are in the line up - with music in all genres, varieties and crossovers between pop, jazz, rock, urban, folk, metal, electronica, avant garde and sound installation.

That means RMC Afgangsfestival 2025 is a unique and very diverse opportunity to experience the best of the next - like a very local and free version of Scandinavian showcase festivals as Spot and By:larm. So did a total of more than 5,000 concert goers at last years edition, and as always, the artistic level is towering among 2025's hatched talent when the concert series returns in the four venues and event rooms at RMC from 16 to 26 June.

Everyone is welcome at RMC during the graduation festival: The eight festival days are without entrance fee or pre-registration so you can just show up, visit the bars and explore the sound of tomorrow.

In the courtyard Hancock serves beer fresh from tap and Jacob & the Spices got snacks and stews for anyone hungry (follow the Facebook Event of the festival for the daily menu).

On both Thursdays during the festival, the bar stays open late while the party continues in the courtyard with DJs from the RMC Family: Grammar of Movement (19 June) and Melodi Ghazal (26 June).
