As a volunteer at Roskilde Festival, you can get this year's unique volunteer print on a piece of clothing, tote bag, bucket hat, or other textile made of cotton or polyester that you bring along. The "Volunteer Print" product is on your wristband and can be used at the Volunteer Print booth during the opening hours listed below.
Opening hours for Volunteer Print
- Check-In: Saturday 22 June to Sunday 23 June from 11:30 to 15:00
- Check-In: Monday 24 June to Friday 28 June from 14:00 to 19:00
- Volunteers’ Village: Saturday 29 June to Saturday 6 July from 10:00 to 20:00
Bring your own textile
- The textile must be made of cotton and/or polyester. We cannot print on fleece or nylon.
- We recommend that the textile is clean and without wrinkles for the best result.
- We print on all types of clothing: e.g., socks, t-shirts, bucket hats, or tote bags.
- The volunteer print must not be applied to textiles that already have a written or visual message, but it can be printed on a textile with an existing clothing brand logo, neutral pattern, or previous Roskilde Festival merchandise.
- We have a limited number of unclaimed t-shirts from previous years that you can get if you did not bring a piece of clothing yourself and have not already received your volunteer print. We cannot guarantee that your size will be in stock.
Colors and sizes
- Choose from three colors: orange, black, or white.
- Choose from two sizes: large print (19 cm wide x 20 cm tall) and small print (6.5 cm wide x 7 cm tall). Note: the small print is not available in orange.
Placement and expression
- You can choose where to place your volunteer print.
- You must not cut or otherwise alter the appearance of this year's volunteer print.
What are the risks of getting the volunteer print?
Our print is guaranteed to last the lifetime of the textile, but we still recommend that you wash your printed textiles inside out and use mild detergent to ensure the best possible care. Additionally, we cannot guarantee print quality on very textured or uneven surfaces. Sometimes mistakes happen, and the print may end up slightly crooked, and if your t-shirt is wrinkled, the print will not hold optimally.
How long does it take to get the volunteer print?
- There may be queues at certain times. Use the queue time to choose color, size, and placement.
- Once you reach the printers at Volunteer Print, it takes about 2 minutes from placing your order to receiving your item with this year's print.
How many volunteer prints can I get?
- You can get one print, which is assigned as a product on your People profile.
- On Friday 5 July and Saturday 6 July, you can purchase an additional volunteer print if we have any left. A small print costs DKK 40 and a large one DKK 50.
What are the environmental benefits of a volunteer print compared to a volunteer t-shirt?
- When we print on already-produced textiles and garments instead of new ones, we save resources. In previous years, we have produced 25,000 organic t-shirts for each festival, and one organic t-shirt has a CO2e footprint from production of 4 kg CO2, according to calculations from Tekstilrevolutionen. This means that at Roskilde Festival we have had an emission of approximately 100 tons of CO2e each year from producing t-shirts – and about a third of them are never claimed. This emission corresponds, for example, to slightly less than we collectively emit from gasoline and diesel during a festival – or in other words, equivalent to over 40,000 liters of gasoline.
- The print is a so-called “ElastoSoft transfer,” which is environmentally labeled with STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®.
