Aarhus is known for its musical history. Fuelled by a relatively young population [[jazz]] clubs sprang up in the 1950s which became a tour stop for many iconic American Jazz musicians. By the 1960s, the music scene diversified into rock and other genres and in the 1970s and 1980s, Aarhus became a centre for rock music, fostering iconic bands such as [[Kliché]], [[TV-2 (band)|TV-2]] and [[Gnags]] and artists such as [[Thomas Helmig]] and [[Anne Linnet]]. Acclaimed bands since the 1970s include [[Under Byen]], [[Michael Learns to Rock]], [[Nephew (band)|Nephew]], [[Carpark North]], [[Spleen United]], [[Veto (band)|VETO]], [[Hatesphere]] and [[Illdisposed]] in addition to individual performers such as [[Medina (singer)|Medina]] and [[Tina Dico]].<ref>{{cite web |last=Kullberg |first=Erling |title=1966-76: When Aarhus became the new music metropolis of Denmark |url=https://seismograf.org/en/node/8592 |publisher=Seismograf |date=October 2016 |access-date=25 January 2023}}</ref>
