Accessibility

Consider the following when planning your arrival at Roskilde Festival:  

  • When you arrive, the first thing you need to do is exchange your ticket for a wristband. You can do this at one of our Wristband Exchanges, located at the entrances. Please note that the different Wristband Exchanges have different opening hours. You can get an overview of the locations of the entrances and the locations and opening hours of all Wristband Exchanges on our arrival map. 
    If you come to the festival area by train, you can get your wristband at the train station on the festival site.   
  • Be aware of heavy traffic on the opening day, where it may take a very long time to arrive by car.  
  • From Roskilde Station you can take a shuttle bus, train or taxi to the festival. All buses have ramps that allow access for wheelchair users. 
  • If you have difficulties walking, you should choose an entrance near the camping area or the stage you want to go to. See the distance guide below. 
  • If you need plenty of space around you, we recommend that you do not come on the opening day, but wait until the following day, Sunday 28 June. 
  • Make sure to plan your arrival well in advance and feel free to contact us at info@roskilde-festival.dk if you have any questions.

You can find much more information about arrival as well as timetables for buses and trains here.

Most stages have platforms that help wheelchair users rise to eye level with the rest of the audience.

If you find it difficult to stand close to many people, we recommend that you plan ahead and familiarize yourself with the locations of platforms, seating installations, expected crowd density, big screen placements, and sound conditions at each stage. The hosts in front of the stages are ready to assist you.

We do not offer seat reservations on the platforms for specific concerts.

The platforms exist to ensure equal access to the concert experience.

Here’s how it works:

  • The platform is reserved for participants who are unable to stand during the concert.
  • Companions are welcome if there is space – but please be considerate and give priority to participants with the right of access as mentioned in point 1.
  • Everyone on the platform must remain seated.

If you are able to stand, but your festival partner has the right to access the platform, you may accompany them onto the platform if space allows. However, if others with priority arrive, you must give up your spot.

Please note: For safety reasons, Crowd Safety may close or restrict access to the platform before and after concerts. Therefore, be sure to arrive early if you need a spot.

We have a camping area for guests with both major and minor disabilities, individuals with physical challenges and/or a need for tranquility, as well as for friends, family, and assistants. We strive to create calm surroundings and be particularly attentive to one another.

There is no access control – everyone is welcome to visit, and we are happy to have guests.
 

Unfortunately, it is no longer possible to apply for a spot in Handicamp, as there are no available spots left in the area.
