Carl Emil Petersen takes over the country's theaters and concert halls on his upcoming solo tour in 2024

The urban poet Carl Emil Petersen has previously received acclaim for his acoustic solo concerts, and in the fall of 2024, he will finally tour the country again, visiting some of the most beautiful stages, including DR Koncerthuset for the first time.

Since his time in Ulige Numre, Carl Emil Petersen has written himself into both the Højskolesangbogen (Danish Hymnal for High Schools) and the hearts of Danes with songs that have cemented him as one of his generation's greatest songwriters here at home. On his solo tour, he brings along his latest album 'Skillelinjen.' An album that Jyllands-Posten's reviewer gave five stars, along with the words "everything is carried by strong melodies, nothing comes close to being mediocre, there is no filler, at no time does Carl Emil Petersen try to feed his followers with empty calories. On the contrary."

On his upcoming autumn tour, the audience gets up close when Carl Emil Petersen delves into his remarkable song catalog from his ten years in the Danish music scene. A catalog that includes modern classics like 'København,' 'Frit Land,' and 'Amager Forbrænding.' In the country's small assembly halls and beautiful theaters, Carl Emil Petersen will unfold his lyrics and their stories in more intimate settings. He tells about the upcoming tour: "I really love playing my solo shows. Every night is a new experience. Some nights it's as quiet as a pin dropping in the golden hall, and the next night there might be a loose energy from the audience that I respond to. It's all about being present and creating some magic in the room."

The solo concerts contrast with the grand rock concerts that Carl Emil Petersen played in connection with the album's release this year. In the fall of 2024, the songs will reveal themselves in their most raw and honest form as Carl Emil Petersen performs them in the way they were conceived, at home - with himself on guitar, on piano, and with lyrics that only he can write.
