The B&W Hallerne ( German : B & W-Hallen) are two event halls in Denmark's capital Copenhagen on the island of Amager northeast of the city center.
The halls were built in the 1960s as shipyard halls for the construction of large ships for the Burmeister & Wain company and were in operation in this function until 1996. After this time they began to be used for events such as festivals such as Copenhell and Distortion .
The 2014 Eurovision Song Contest took place in Hall 2 . For this purpose, the hall was prepared for 10,000 visitors and the surrounding area was redesigned into Eurovision Island .
