Kappelborg and SKAL Contemporary invite you to a very special anniversary evening, culminating in a large-scale celebration of Skal Contemporary's 5th anniversary. Look forward to a sensual total experience where contemporary art, live concert and party merge from 18:00 to 23:30.
The evening starts with a reception and open doors for a variety of artistic experiences — and moves towards an energetic climax with a concert and DJ's. It will be a celebration of community, curiosity and art in motion.
Concert with Tabloid
The headline act this evening is Tabloid -- a star-studded band made up of five of the country's most distinctive musicians from the pop and jazz scene. Together they create a playful and uncompromising soundscape where 80s funk and fusion jazz meets everything from country to Japanese pop.
Their current album Hot Gossip showcases the band from their most exuberant and adventurous side -- recorded as five friends in the same room, with nerve, presence and room for diversity. The result is vibrant, groovy and full of excess.
Politics *has highlighted Tabloid as one of the country's most exciting and well-playing young bands, and GAFFA quipped with six stars for their gig at the Heartland Festival in 2025. *
Video art in Skagen Bio
Experience Luna Lund Jensen's video work Dreaming of Dunes and Valleys of Glass on the big screen in Skagen Bio. The work — previously shown at the exhibition Post Oceanic Wonders at SKAL Contemporary — is based on the Råbjerg Mile and the historic sand escape in North Jutland. The landscape unfolds as both a local narrative and a global reflection on climate change and desertification. A poetic and visually powerful experience that takes on extra format in the cinema hall.
Performance with Filip West
Filip Vest takes the stage with a performance that revolves around queer relationships, identity and the social structures we navigate. With sharp performative approaches, norms and expectations are challenged — and the audience is invited to see themselves and each other in a new light.

Velkommen til Vendsyssel og hele Toppen af Danmark
Vendsyssel, der med rette kan beskrives som en 3000 km² stor ø, ligger på toppen af Danmark, mellem to have med Skagerrak til styrbord og Kattegat til bagbord, når man ser øen på et kort, som dem der hang i klasseværelserne med nord opad.
Vendsyssel er faktisk på størrelse med Gotland i Sverige eller ca. 3 gange så stor som Rhodos i Grækenland. Det er til gengæld let at komme hertil. Der er nemlig masser af broer og både små og store færger fra ind- og udland til Vendsyssel.
Vendsyssel er så godt forbundet med fastlandet, at selv de lokale indbyggere ofte helt glemmer, at de reelt bor på en ø. Medmindre man tager turen til Vendsyssel med en af de små hyggelige fjordfærger fra Jylland eller de store luksuriøse færger fra Norge og Sverige til Frederikshavn eller Hirtshals, opdager man nærmest ikke, at man forlader det europæiske fastland, når man på 1 – 2 minutter har passeret f.eks. Limfjordbroen i Aalborg eller tunnelen under fjorden på motorvejen E45.
Selvom havet på begge sider af de lange øst- og vestvendte kyster i Vendsyssel kan vise tænder og give besøgende spektakulære oplevelser, når elementerne raser, er klimaet og personligheden i Vendsyssel rund og mild. Måske fordi Vendsyssel, på trods af at vi er placeret midt mellem 2 have, også at finde i smørhullet mellem Norge og Sverige; beskyttet af de norske og svenske fjelde. Det kan også være en af grundene til, at lyset ændrer sig, desto længere du kommer nordpå i Vendsyssel, hvor toppen af Danmark i Skagen i generationer har tiltrukket kunstnere og kreative sjæle med sit unikke lys og rekordmange solskinstimer, året rundt.
