'Smuk', improbably, is the Danish word for 'beautiful'. This long-running event used to be called the Skanderborg Festival, but it was renamed fairly recently to reflect the fact that its surroundings – a historic forest next to a large lake – are really quite stunning. The line-up isn't bad either: they've got a big, purple name in Prince, a festival-closing set by Kings Of Leon (although they're playing about a dozen European festival dates), and some interesting younger acts like Solange. All this and MC Hammer… Smuk!
