When do I need permission to bring recording equipment?
You are required to have a written agreement (Live Footage Agreement) with Roskilde Festival in advance to obtain permission to record live images or sound at the festival site - and your equipment must be equipped with stickers.
Accredited persons who need a Live Footage Agreement for audio and video recordings can find the agreement in People Pro under "Deadlines" when accreditation is confirmed. Based on a signed agreement, the stickers will be handed out at Media Service when you arrive at the festival. Read more about Media Service here.
Please contact accreditation@roskilde-festival.dk regarding inquiries about recordings on and around the stages. Recordings in the backstage areas of the stages must be agreed upon with the artist.
Recording equipment can be freely brought and used in the camping areas without a Live Footage Agreement and stickers.
Cameras for still images are allowed throughout the festival, and no stickers are required on cameras, regardless of the size of the device.
Contact Media Service if you experience problems bringing cameras through the gates into the festival site.
How do I get permission to record the concerts?
All rights to record concerts – both image and sound – belong to the performing artist. You may not record concerts without written permission issued by the artist's management or the artist themselves. If you have obtained such permission yourself, you must send it to Roskilde Festival no later than June 15th. The permission should be sent to accreditation@roskilde-festival.dk.
Please note that record companies cannot issue this permission.
Do I need permission to take concert photographs?
It is permitted to take photographs everywhere else at the festival without any special permission except in the photo pits in front of the stages. Permits for concert photographs from the photo pits in front of the Orange Stage and Arena are issued by Roskilde Festival to a limited number of professional photographers.
Can I fly/film with a drone near or over the festival area?
No, we do not allow this for safety reasons. Not even if the person responsible has a relevant education and experience.
How do I make interview arrangements with Roskilde Festival?
We are happy to talk about our festival, so please contact us at press@roskilde-festival.dk about interviews with festival spokespersons.
How do I make interview arrangements with the performing artists?
Roskilde Festival does not generally assist in making interview arrangements with artists. This must be agreed upon directly with the artist, usually via management or record company. It is an advantage to be out in good time.
Can I use images from the festival's media library for my own publication?
You are welcome to use images from our media library that have been approved for editorial use. You can find the library here.
It is important to credit the photographer whose material you wish to use.
