The Land // The Sound 
– Program – 

The Land // The Sound is conceived as a continuous, immersive journey through music, landscape and community. Rather than following a tightly scheduled timetable, the festival’s program unfolds organically as concerts, walks, shared meals and conversations flow into one another. 

To preserve this sense of presence and discovery, only a few key moments are fixed in time. We invite you to slow down, leave the clock behind and simply follow the rhythm of the festival.

Open event

With music and nature in Mols Bjerge

As part of the new The Land // The Sound Festival, you’re invited to an open event at Toggerbo Scout Centre, Toggerbo, from 3.00 pm to 5.00 pm on 8 August. Our 24-hour festival has a limited number of tickets on sale, but the first two hours are open to all.

Here, you can enjoy a few hours of music, nature and togetherness in the heart of the scenic Mols Mountains. The programme includes classical music by Jakob Kullberg and his cello octet, as well as the beautiful voice of singer Miriam Elhajli.

The event is open to everyone, but requires ticket booking so that the organisers know the number of attendees. It will be possible to support the event with a voluntary contribution via a QR code at the venue.
