Ja, på papiret ser det flot ud, men hvad synes de internationale branchefolk egentlig om SPOT og kvaliteten af den musik som festival præsenterede: Forget Eurovision. SPOT Festival is the best advert for Scandiwegian music... Pity those Eurovision entries couldn't have taken some tips beforehand. This is a much more compelling advert for Scandinavian music. Kieron Tyler, MOJO Magazine (UK) You can now no longer plan on committing suicide before next year because then you won't be able to go to SPOT in 2010 and run crazy in that proper grown-up way the festival offers. Doris Vaninstendael, Vice Magazine Belgium (BE) Put aside prejudices and check it out. Turns out there is more to Danish music than Barbie Girl... Neil McCormick, The Daily Telegraph (UK) Citaterne taler deres helt tydelige sprog: Når de udenlandske medie- og branche-personligheder først kommer til landet, overraskes de glædeligt over den kvalitet over en bred kam, som dansk musik og kultur indeholder. For sådan endte det heldigvis også i år.  Finske Le Corps Mince de Francoise på årest SPOT Festival. FOTO: Jesper Hedemann. Og at SPOT Festival giver genklang internationalt, ses også tydeligt i de reportager som de undenlandske medier har lavet fra festivalen: "Denmark, Full Points" - MOJO Magazine "The best of the Danisfh fest..." - Clash Magazine "SPOT Festival: not just big in Denmark" - The Daily Telegraph "Great Danes: SPOT Festival 2009" - Drowned in Sound "Fjord focus" - The Guardian Nu må de kommende måneder vise, hvilke resultater, der kommer ud af anstrengelserne – men at der er blevet lyttet, opdaget og skrevet uden for landets grænser er ovenstående beviset på – og nedenstående, for vi takker af med endnu en stak roser:  Stemning fra SPOT Festival 2009. FOTO: Thorsten Overgaard. Hans Vrijmoed, Alternative Blog (NL) SPOT offers a relaxed festival setting where the venues are deliciously closely located to one another and on top of this the festival revealed a healthy dose of Danish bands with international potential. Sven Schlijper, Kindamuzik (NL) This two-day (but more like four-day) showcase of Danish music and choice international acts is like a musical Narnia: around every corner and behind every tent-flap an eye-opening new discovery awaits. Simon Hawkins, Clash Magazine (UK) SPOT is one of the greatest festivals I’ve ever been to! Fruzsi Szépa, Sziget Festival (HU)
