It’s been a good few weeks for music-lovers in the Nordics. Over the past month and a half, Radiohead, Metallica, Foo Fighters, Robbie Williams and System of a Down have all announced impending shows in Denmark. And the hits just keep coming.

Now fans can prepare for even more glee with the revelation that legendary rockers Aerosmith and pop/R&B star Bruno Mars will be joining the high-powered list of acts ‘walking this way’.

Steven Tyler and Aerosmith will be in Copenhagen on June 5 to perform at the new Royal Arena in Copenhagen as part of their farewell tour ‘Aero-Vederci Baby!’.

The band – known for classic hits like ‘I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing’, ‘Crazy’, ‘Cryin” and ‘Livin’ on the Edge’ – have sold over 100 million albums since forming in Boston back in 1970.

“Aerosmith just got done ripping through South America like true ambassadors of rock,” said Tyler.

“The band is unstoppable right now, and in Europe, we’re going to keep doing what we do best … ‘Let The Music Do The Talking’ … ‘Living On The Edge’ … and living to rock another day.”

Tickets will go on sale on Friday November 18 at 10:00 via livenation.dk and ticketmaster.dk and prices will range from 660-1,110 kroner.

Rocket to Mars
Fans of more contemporary music can prepare themselves to be propelled into intergalactic bliss when legend-in-the-making Bruno Mars also hits Royal Arena on May 18 as part of his Magic World Tour.

The giga star, who performed at the Super Bowl half-time this year with Beyonce and Chris Martin, has sold millions of albums thanks to mega hits like ‘When I Was Your Man’, ‘Grenade’ and ‘Just the Way You Are’.

His third and most recent album, ’24K Magic’, is set to be released on Friday.

Tickets go on sale on Monday November 21 and prices range from 450-610 kroner.

The Royal Arena has really gone out of its way to make its first year of existence a memorable one. Metallica will break in the new venue on February 3-5, but other acts scheduled to perform in the first half of 2017 include The Weekend (Feb 20), Drake (March 3), Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds (March 29) and André Rieu (June 2).

Dizzy Mizz Lizzy & D.A.D (Feb 17) and Nik and Jay (May 25) will also be giving it up for the more Danish-centric fans.

A survey carried out by Megafon for TV2 has found that 71 percent of parents have handed over children to daycare in spite of them being sick.

Moreover, 21 percent of those surveyed admitted to medicating their kids with paracetamol, such as Panodil, before sending them to school.

The FOLA parents’ organisation is shocked by the findings.

“I think it is absolutely crazy. It simply cannot be that a child goes to school sick and plays with lots of other children. Then we are faced with the fact that they will infect the whole institution,” said FOLA chair Signe Nielsen.

Pill pushers
At the Børnehuset daycare institution in Silkeborg a meeting was called where parents were implored not to bring their sick children to school.

At Børnehuset there are fears that parents prefer to pack their kids off with a pill without informing teachers.

“We occasionally have children who that they have had a pill for breakfast,” said headteacher Susanne Bødker. “You might think that it is a Panodil more than a vitamin pill, if it is a child who has just been sick, for example.”

Parents sick and tired
Parents, when confronted, often cite pressure at work as a reason for not being able to stay at home with their children.

Many declare that they simply cannot take another day off, as they are afraid of being fired.

Allan Randrup Thomsen, a professor of virology at KU, has heavily criticised the parents’ actions, describing the current situation as a “vicious circle”.

“It promotes the spread of viruses, and it adds momentum to a cycle where parents are pressured by high levels of sick-leave. If they then choose to send the children to daycare while they are still recovering, they keep the epidemic going in daycares, and this in turn puts a greater burden on the parents.”
