Benjamin Hav is hovering above the stage during a sound test in Copenhagen. He saw a clip of a classic danish rock group during the same, and insisted he should try it as well.
After multiple awards and concerts on the biggest stages around Denmark the group Benal has one final surprise. They are breaking up to do their individual music. With three sold out concerts in a row they are saying good bye with manners. But no one know they are quitting.
Benjamin Hav is the lead singer and the man in front of the group. A family man living the life of a rock star
Ten minutes before show start Benjamin is napping in the backstage area. Surrounded by his three daughters and wife and a Redbull-rum drink within reach, Benjamin is showing no nerves before putting on one of his last shows with the group Benal.
Benal played three sold out events in a row at Vega, Copenhagen. The audience is dancing to the heavy beats and the agressive vokals from Benjamin. No one knows, that these three shows is the last Benal will ever play.
After a koncert in Aarhus, Benjamin immediately dissapears to his backstage dressing room. He needs to pack his stuff to leave for Copenhagen. Even though the backstage party is lod and crazy Benjamins only goal is to art home as quickly as possible. In six hours he is supposed to eat breakfast with his family on the other side of the country.
For the last three shows of Benal, they have inviter a lot of guest artists to appear on stage. Everything has to be perfekt for the big endning. No one should be able to point out a flaw, so everything is being rehearsed while the family waits behind the scenes.
A last kiss before the concert starts. Benjamin is not a rockstar in the family. If he is told to be back home at 01.30, he is always back at 1.30. Benjamin thanks his family for keeping him on track even though he is a succesful musician.
Benal has won awards and played the biggest scenes in Denmark. But now it’s time for something completely new for Benjamin Hav. He has produced two solo albums while preparing the end of Benal.
The concert in Aarhus is over, it’s 3 am and the tour bus is being packed as quickly as possible. Benjamin is waiting with his Redbull-rum drink. It’s the last tour with Benal, but he feels relaxed about it, and looks forward to his own shows in the future.
