Girls in Airports at the top of ARoS

A unique concert experience awaits when jazz-indie orchestra Girls in Airports performs at the terrace at the top of ARoS during the Aarhus Jazz Festival, surrounded by Olafur Eliasson's spectacular artwork Your Rainbow Panorama.

Girls in Airports has been described as "a unique blend of Nordic lyrical jazz, with indie-rock influences and sounds from around the world".

The Danish band is known for its captivating soundscapes that cross musical genres and geographical borders, combining jazz, indie, and urban folk into a unique expression of melodic elegiac hooks and danceable global rhythms.

With four of the most distinctive and creative musicians from the Danish music scene, Girls in Airports is one of the most vital experimental ensembles in Europe. With a cohesive and unique sound, their music is both absorbing and highly emotive. The band's charismatic live performances have quickly made them one of the most talked-about new bands on the international scene.

Since Girls in Airports came together in 2009, they have constantly sought to expand their sonic universe with new musical inspirations – across modern jazz, global folklore, minimalism, synth music, and an atmospheric sound that has led critics to compare the band to names as diverse as Brian Eno, Radiohead, King Crimson, Jon Hassell, Sun Ra, and Jan Garbarek.

Girls in Airports is one of the few young Danish indie-jazz bands that has managed to break through abroad. In Germany they are represented by one of the country's leading booking companies and play packed concert halls wherever they go. The band has toured in countries such as the USA, China, Brazil, and most of Europe.
