ILK Sessions returns to Copenhagen Jazz Festival with a packed lineup of jazz, avant-garde, experimental, and improvisation-forward music. The adventurous programme features concerts from ILK Music artists and friends, curated for curious listeners from 4–13 July 2025.
This year, we’re taking over our regular spot, 5e in the Meatpacking District, and for the festival’s final weekend, we head out to Refshaleøen for daytime gigs at Bådehuset by the seaside. ILK Sessions 2025 is supported by Statens Kunstfond, KODA Kultur, Københavns Kommune, JazzDanmark, Augustinus Fonden, William Demant Fonden, Beckett Fonden and Dansk Kapelmesterforening.
