Later today, U2 are performing in Hannover, but a good few hundred kilometres to the north, preparations are already under way for U2's arrival in Denmark. This coming Sunday and Monday, U2 will perform in Horsens. With one exception, all previous U2 concerts in Denmark have been in Copenhagen; the exception was way back on 2 July 1982 when U2 made their Danish live debut in Roskilde.

The stage is currently under construction at CASA Arena Horsens. The local newspaper, Horsens Folkeblad, has a couple of pictures of preliminary work here (article in Danish). For those of you who speak Danish, the Horsens Folkeblad has a considerable amount of U2 content that you can view via this menu. Additionally, concert promoter Horsens And Friends have an official website for the concerts, but again, this is really only for Danish-language readers and anybody who wants to try their luck with Google Translate.

We will of course be on hand to furnish you with all details about U2's Horsens gigs when they happen, and stay tuned for our Hannover coverage this evening. Thanks to Søren A. for tipping us off to the Danish content!
