PRESS RELEASE
Nordisk Film and CTS EVENTIM to re-establish K.B. Hallen as leading venue
in Copenhagen area
Nordisk Film and CTS EVENTIM will operate the iconic Danish venue K.B.
Hallen when it is rebuilt in 2018. K.B. Hallen will re-establish itself as
the leading culture and sports venue in the Copenhagen area for both local
and international events.
Copenhagen/Bremen, 8. September 2016. Radiohead, The Strokes, Katy Perry,
The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Laurel and Hardy, Bjørn Borg and Winston
Churchill are just a few examples of the many artists and personalities
that have made K.B. Hallen an iconic venue throughout the years.
A fire destroyed the original K.B. Hallen, designed by Hans Hansen, in
2011. The new arena, designed by Christensen & Co., is expected to be
completed in 2018. After completion, it will once again be the leading
venue for cultural and sporting events in the Copenhagen area. Egmont group
company Nordisk Film and CTS EVENTIM will be operating K.B. Hallen as a
modern multi-purpose arena with room for concerts, fairs, sporting events,
conferences, shows and cultural events. With a capacity of up to 4,900, the
new K.B. Hallen will offer a very flexible setup.
"With its unique history and excellent location, K.B. Hallen is a strong
brand and a venue with great potential. The new multi-purpose arena is
perfect in size and will have state-of-the-art facilities, which can be
used in many different ways.", says EVENTIM Senior Vice President Rainer
Appel. "The new K.B. Hallen will match promoters' and bookers' needs
perfectly as there is a strong demand for a venue of this calibre in the
Copenhagen area," adds director in Nordisk Film, Asger Flygare Bech-
Thomsen.
The new K.B. Hallen will also have excellent access to public
transportation - the municipal plan for the area includes a direct footpath
to K.B. Hallen from the neighbouring train station of the same name. The
venue itself can be individually tailored to fit an event, and its modern
design and construction will give the many guests a great experience.
The recently formed joint-venture between Nordisk Film and CTS EVENTIM will
operate the venue. EVENTIM is the leading ticketing services provider and
concert promoter in Europe, and already operates a number of iconic venues
throughout Europe, e.g. Apollo in London, Waldbuehne in Berlin and Lanxess
Arena in Cologne. The parties have signed a 10 year agreement with
traditional sports club Kjøbenhavns Boldklub (K.B.) securing strong long
term cooperation.
"For more than 70 years K.B. Hallen was a leading cultural, musical,
sporting and even political venue in the Copenhagen area. With Nordisk Film
we have a strong local partner and with EVENTIM we get unique international
expertise. At the same time, K.B. will have an opportunity to use the venue
as a sport training facility too" says Kjøbenhavn Boldklub's chairman of
the board, Niels-Christian Holmstrøm.
