Roskilde Festival is the largest music festival in Northern Europe – attracting audiences from all over Europe and the rest of the world. It is an independent, non-profit festival organised by The Roskilde Festival Charity Society. Roskilde Festival presents an up to date and progressive music programme as well as lots of events, art and activities. Each year, approximately 150 bands play at the festival during 4 days from Thursday to Sunday. The camping areas open on the Sunday preceding the festival with upcoming acts playing a smaller stage and many activities during the days up to Thursday. An extensive environmental programme is implemented each year including a refund system. All profits from the festival are donated to humanitarian, cultural and non-profit projects that benefit people all over the world. The festival is located on the Festival Site, outside the town of Roskilde, 35 km from Copenhagen.
Roskilde Festival concentrates on quality, innovation, and variation – not on becoming the biggest, the cosiest or the most established festival. Over the years, the festival has gained a solid foundation of experience and routine. However, Roskilde Festival still wants to be cutting edge and innovative.
