From 2008 to 2016, Turboweekend was a core presence in the Danish electronic music landscape. Their sudden disappearance from the scene left a notable void. Now, after years of absence, the group has returned—not quietly, but with a sold-out residency at Copenhagen’s Vega and a brand new album.

Thursday’s performance at Vega demonstrated that the group’s musical infrastructure remains strong. Turboweekend opened with precision and power. The rhythm section, long regarded as one of the band’s defining assets, anchored the set with authority—its punchy basslines and thunderous drums laying the foundation for a performance that felt both measured and deeply expressive.

Get Started NowWhat distinguishes Turboweekend is their capacity to balance intensity with introspection. Their atmospheric soundscapes draw on emotional memory, creating a resonance that transcends mere performance. This was particularly evident in their delivery of “After Hours,” which set a tone of cinematic grandeur.
During “Trouble Is,” frontman Silas Bjerregaard elevated the crowd dynamic, rising above them—literally and symbolically—to deliver the song’s refrain with both intimacy and force. It was a moment of deliberate spectacle, yes, but also one of genuine connectivity.
Turboweekend’s return affirms their role not just as performers, but as curators of a shared cultural experience that still matters.
