Stig Pedersen (born 18 May 1965, Amager) is the bassist and co-founder of the Danish hard rock band D-A-D, which he helped start in Copenhagen in the early 1980s under the original name Disneyland After Dark. He is instantly recognisable on stage for his custom-built two-string left-handed basses - shaped like rockets, cow heads or an olive on a cocktail stick - and for his outlandish costumes. Over more than four decades with D-A-D, he has co-written some of the band's best-known songs, including 'Sleeping My Day Away', and the band released their 13th studio album, Speed of Darkness, in October 2024.
D-A-D released their 13th studio album Speed of Darkness on 4 October 2024 via AFM Records, a 14-track double album recorded to mark the band's 40th anniversary.
To celebrate their 40th anniversary as a band, D-A-D received their own exhibition at the National Museum of Denmark.
D-A-D completed a Greatest Hits Australian tour in May 2025, playing Perth, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.
D-A-D performed at Wacken Open Air 2025 in Wacken, Germany.
D-A-D are scheduled to play Tivoli Friheden in Aarhus on 4 July 2026, alongside Dizzy Mizz Lizzy, Sort Sol and The Raveonettes.
