In addition to being the home of Copenhagen's premiere league soccer team FC København (FCK for short) as well as the national Danish soccer squad, national stadium Parken in Østerbro is also one of the biggest venues in Denmark for rock concerts. The stadium has hosted a long list of international stars that includes U2, Bruce Springsteen and Britney Spears, and can hold up to 50,000 guests in its covered, outdoor arena. Parken dates originally from 1911, when it was inaugurated as '
