Nibe Festival sells out in 55 minutes without announcing a single act

Nibe Festival has sold all of its nearly 9,000 full-festival passes for next year in just 55 minutes, even though it has not announced a single performer.

Ticket sales opened at 10 a.m., and the festival said the passes had sold out by 10:55. More than 10,000 people were still waiting in line to buy tickets when the sellout was announced.

Festival spokesperson Peter Møller Madsen called the response “a huge expression of trust” and said it clearly showed that the festival remained highly popular and sought after. Organizers expect to announce next year’s artists at the end of September.

The festival will run from June 30 to July 3, 2027, in Skalskoven just north of Nibe. About 3,000 day tickets for each of the four days will go on sale October 1. The festival is currently asking its audience which artists they want to see.

Last year, the most requested act was Danish band The Minds of 99, whose appearance was later confirmed. This year’s lineup also included Benjamin Hav and his band Familien, the rising Danish quartet Aphaca, former X Factor judge Ankerstjerne, and U.S. musician Gavin DeGraw.

It is a huge expression of trust from our guests, and clearly shows that our festival is very, very popular and very, very sought after.
