Camping
Agoras are central meeting places in each camping area, often as a tent with lighting. The Agoras have various types of content depending on in which kind of camping area they are located.
Caravan Camping is an area for people who want to stay in a caravan or mobile home.
The area has shower facilities (for a fee) and toilet facilities, running water and space for setting up awnings. It is not allowed to pitch your own tent in the area.
Central Park is an area with bars and food stands. Here you will find the stage Gaia with concerts all 7 days. In the southern part of Central Park is a green area connecting the Camping Area and the Inner Festival Area.
View the schedule for Gaia in the programme.
Clean Out Loud is a Community Camping area in East, which grows out of a collaboration between Roskilde Festival and Vallekilde Folk High School.
Participants staying in Clean Out Loud are frontrunners in the fight to reduce the amount of trash at the festival. The project focusses on making Roskilde Festival a cleaner and greener place to be – without compromising on the party!
You must apply to stay in Clean Out Loud.
Roskilde Festival Folk High School is hosting the Community Camping area Common Ground in Area F, which is located between Dream City and Central Park.
At the Camping Area, you will find the 2,000 square meter Dancefloor (formerly known as Destroy Me Once, Destroy Me Twice). The enormous art piece was created by the German artist Katharina Grosse in 2022.
The piece is specifically made for the camping area’s hilly landscape where it stretches between the green hills and invites festivalgoers to move.
Dancefloor is a significant meeting point at Roskilde Festival, giving occasion to social interaction in the now and to forming temporary communities.
Dream City is a Community Camping area in East. The area is characterised by being constructed in close collaboration between the people staying there.
In Dream City, you will primarily find camps that consist of buildings built by the occupants themselves, but there are also some event camps.
The city centre, East City, is in Camping East. Here, you will find Flokkr, which is the home for our activist content. View the programme for Flokkr in the schedule.
Explore The Yard – a sensory laboratory with a focus on biodiversity and food production.
You can also have a well-deserved break in Volunteer Hub East – one of our two special areas for volunteers in the Camping Area.
When Volunteer Camping got fully booked, we opened for bookings of free accommodation in the new area Extra Volunteer Camping Area M, located at M72-M79 at the bottom of Area M.
Extra Volunteer Camping (Area M) is fully booked
You can no longer book a spot in the area.
If you have booked a spot, please notice that it only gives access for yourself.
The first time you enter the area through a checkpoint, the system will register that you have used your reserved spot.
We expect you to use your booking
If you have booked the product and do not stay in Extra Volunteer Camping (Area M), we will charge a "no-show" fee of 500 DKK after the festival.
Access to the area
You will find the entrance to Extra Volunteer Camping (Area M) at field M72.
You get access to the area by scanning your festival wristband, so before you arrive at the area, you must check in at Roskilde Handelsskole and get your wristband.
You must show a valid ID and your personal check-in card, which you can find on your People profile, to get your wristband.
Check in at Roskilde Handelssskole is open 24/7 from Saturday June 22 at 11:30 to Saturday July 6 at 23:59.
Access for volunteers’ children
Children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult, and their rights are the same as the adult they are with. If the adult has access to Extra Volunteer Camping (Area M), so does the child.
Opening hours
The area is open from Saturday 29 June at 10:00 to Sunday 7 July at 14:00. If you need accommodation after Sunday 7 July, you can move to Volunteer Camping from Sunday 7 July.
Rules in the area
The area is close to participant areas on the festival site, so we cannot guarantee quiet nights. However, we encourage all volunteers in the area to keep calm without music and noise.
We want as many people as possible to be able to stay in the area. Therefore, it's only possible to stay in tents. You cannot bring campers or other vehicles. Setting up camps or bringing building materials, furniture, etc., is not allowed. To maximize tent space, covering areas with pavilions or tarpaulins is also prohibited.
Always follow instructions and any recommendations from the hosts in the area. Note that you cannot bring guests to the area who do not have access through their wristband.
Help keep the area clean
Everyone is encouraged to help keep the area clean. At Roskilde Festival 2024, waste must be sorted into fractions – similar to how it's done at home. Garbage bags will be provided at the entrance to the area, and additional bags can be obtained from service attendants.
When leaving the camping area after the festival, take everything home with you or sort your waste at the recycling station into the appropriate fractions. When the camping area closes, all items left behind will be considered abandoned.
Toilet and shower facilities
There are toilets just outside the area, shared with other participants in Area M.
There are no shower facilities in the area. Volunteers are directed to Volunteer Hub East near Gate 54 or the showers at Volunteer Hub Central near Gate 3F.
Bike parking
The nearest bike parking is at Gate 35B, approximately 5 minutes from the area.
Warm up your voice, sharpen your ears and throw your hands in the air!
Flokkr is Roskilde Festival’s communal hall with room for debates, conversations and not least listening to what other festivalgoers, young debaters, activists, artists and enthusiastic experts have to say.
Find Flokkr’s programme in the schedule.
Household furniture and the like are fire hazards and may therefore not be brought to the camping area. However, this does not apply to regular lightweight camping equipment, items that come with caravans or other equipment that is usually used for camping in tents.
A good rule of thumb is that one person must be able to carry all items brought to the camping grounds.
Get A Place is a Special Camping area, in which people can reserve an area of 50 m2 for their camp. They must bring and pitch their own tents.
The area is reserved until Sunday 30 June at 16:00, after which time the entire camping area is opened for the rest of the festivalgoers, who are then free to occupy the available spots.
Get A Silent Spot is for people who want to stay in an area, in which we help each other keep the place nice and clean, and where there are no loud parties or the constantly blaring of loud music.
Get A Silent Spot was formerly called Silent & Clean.
Handicamp is a camping area at Roskilde Festival with space for diversity: For people with large and smaller disabilities, people with physical and mental disabilities, friends, family and helpers.
We don’t have access control – anyone can come by for a visit.
At Handicamp we help each other keep the area clean and avoid loud music, especially at night.
Leave No Trace is a Community Camping area in East, which combines the familiar festival atmosphere with a more sustainable festival culture.
The area is for those who want to have the big party in a smaller community-based area. Here, we explore how to minimise our footprint at the festival.
If you want to bring your motorcycle to the festival, we have a special area for you in Caravan Camping. This area is for sleeping as well as parking, and it has showers (for payment), toilet facilities and space for tents.
Re:Act is our platform for experimental performances, inspiring talks and workshops. Look forward to experiencing rap, talks, panel debates, performances, and workshops, each one fighting for their own and others’ rights.
The program unfolds from Sunday 30 June to Tuesday 2 July.
With Rent Your Tent, a cleaned and recycled tent will be made available to you. Your tent will be ready on your arrival, and you cannot take it home with you.
It is the perfect solution if you want to have the camping experience without the hassle of carrying a tent and having to find a place to put it up.
Roskilde Road Trip is for everyone traveling to Roskilde Festival from abroad who wants a unique festival experience. Whether you are travelling alone or as part of a larger group, you will get the chance to be part of a community that crosses borders.
Roskilde Road Trip is a part of Common Ground.
To limit the spread of fire it is important to ensure that all fire access roads and empty areas be kept clear and orderly during the entire festival.
Therefore, tents must be located inside the marked areas and tent guy lines etc. must be kept inside the borders.
Caravans must be placed 3 meters apart of each other. A host will help you park your caravan.
It is not permitted to bring furniture and flammable items to the camping areas. Exempted items are sleeping bags, sleeping mats and other lightweight equipment, which is typically used in connection with camping.
The use of open fire is only permitted in areas specifically designated for this purpose by the festival; this includes any type of open fire, including candles, oil lamps, tiki torches, barbecues etc. Designated cooking areas are located around the camping areas.
Each day, you must bring your trash to a waste container so that trash does not accumulate in individual camps.
Settle’n Share is a Community Camping area in South. Here, it is all about sharing with your fellow festivalgoers and always helping each other, e.g., by keeping the camping area clean during the entire festival.
Sleep-In Buses is for those who prefer to arrive in a sleeper bus. The area is in Caravan South and has toilet facilities, running water and space for tents.
At Roskilde Festival we party with consideration for the community. That is true for the stages, where we have upper limits for how many dB can blast from the concert speakers. That way, we ensure that everyone has a good experience, from audiences, volunteers and neighbours of the festival.
We also have a Sound Policy for the Camping Area, where many bring large, home-built music centres. We love the DIY approach, and we know that many spend endless hours (and a lot of money) on designing their home-built stereos, making them shine and able to reach those impressive speaker volumes. It is amazing that you want to contribute to the party by being the host at your own camp with your sound system.
However, being the party-starter comes with a responsibility. You live right next to a lot of people, who have also come to the festival to have a great time. Please take them into consideration. When the camp is set up, please make the rounds and meet your neighbours; have a conversation about what is cool for them, what parties you can have and what type of music you can agree on. How loud can you agree on playing? You are here together, so it’s important that everyone is having a good time.
How loud can the party be?
When we measure volume, we measure a unit called decibel. It can be difficult to understand, because it is a numerical value, which does not explain much. We really should be measuring volume in distance: How many meters does the sound of your party carry, and how many camps are drowned out by your music? In addition to that, we must include all the other sounds that blend into this musical chaos.
We have defined some time slots in which your party can be as loud as you want, and other time slots where you should give the speakers a rest:
09 – 02 Time for the big parties – equal to 94 dB(A)
02 – 05 Music should be audible in your own camp, with overflow to a few extra camps – equal to 88 dB(A)
05 – 09 Music should only be audible in your own camp, and we recommend it be turned off completely – equal to 84 dB(A)
If our hosts in the Camping Area ask you to turn down the volume, your music is too loud.
Rules are boring, we know, but it is important to party with respect for the community, to make room for everyone.
Which music centre can you bring?
As a rule, we allow most sound systems. However, we do have one requirement: You must be able to carry it to the Camping Area. If you need motor power to transport it, the stereo is too big. Systems that are built into vehicles belong in Caravan Camping.
Stadion is an area for all kinds of sport and movement near the wind turbine at Camping West. Here you will find tracks for football, volley, football, and basket as well as an agora for shade and relaxing yoga.
Join us for programmed activities as well as a free programme with football, volley, basket, dance, rap battles, yoga, mindfulness, running, morning exercise and cycling.
Everyone can join – no matter if you are a beginner or experienced, come alone or with your entire camp, whether you participate or just want to observe.
There is scheduled programming during the festival’s first days from Sunday 30 June to Tuesday 2 July 2024.
View the programme in the schedule.
Tenthouse is for those who want a bit more than just a tent. As the name suggests, Tenthouse is a perfect mix of a tent and a house.
Roskilde Festival and the Tuborg Foundation collaborate on the Circular Lab, which gives the next generation of entrepreneurs a greater influence and opportunity to push forward the green growth.
Toward 2025, the Circular Lab will involve no less than 200 young entrepreneurs in the development of circular solutions for the future.
You can find the Circular Lab at the Camping Area close to Dream City and Common Ground.
How to Sort Waste in your Camp
This year, we are introducing a new and more user-friendly waste sorting system, similar to the waste system you know from your everyday life, whether you live in a house or an apartment.
As festival-goers – and consumers – we have a personal responsibility to dispose of our waste properly so that resources can be recycled in the future.
When you and your friends sort the camp's waste into four types, you contribute to a cleaner festival and more recycling, benefiting the climate and the environment.
This year, camps are provided with bags for four different types of waste: glass, metal, plastic and food/drink cartons, and residual waste. This way, each camp can sort waste as easily as at home.
The Four Waste Types:
- Glass
Yes, please to all types of glass, glass bottles without deposit, and glass shards. - Metal
Yes, please to tin cans, aluminum foil, foil trays, and flattened beer cans. - Plastic and Food/Drink Cartons
Yes, please to plastic food packaging, plastic bottles without deposit, plastic cutlery, plastic wrap, plastic bags, milk cartons, yogurt cartons, and juice cartons. - Residual Waste
Yes, please to cigarette butts, hygiene waste, pizza boxes, and crisp packets.
How Do I Get the Waste Bags?
The bags are distributed continuously in the camps by campsite hosts. You can also get more bags at sorting stations, from campsite hosts in the camping areas, and at the towers.
How Can I Tell the Bags Apart?
The bags have a printed coloured pictogram, similar to the waste bins at home. Additionally, there is a short text indicating which waste should be sorted into the respective bag.
What Should I Do with the Filled Bags?
When the bag is full of waste, tie a knot at the top and deliver it to the nearest sorting station or place it by the roadside at your camp, where volunteers will collect it during the daytime.
In some areas, such as Rent a Tent, volunteers do not collect bags. So, remember to check how to dispose of bags in your area.
Can I Submit and Sort into Other Categories?
Yes, and it varies throughout the week. At the sorting stations in all camping areas, in addition to the four waste types, you can also dispose of hazardous waste, such as electronics and batteries, and cardboard (on Saturday), as well as larger items like tents and chairs.
In the final days of the festival, sorting stations also offer the option to donate items for reuse that others can use.
What Should I Do If I Sort Waste Incorrectly?
Try to remove the incorrect items yourself. When we process the waste, we can remove minor sorting errors. However, if the waste in the bags is too mixed, we have to send it all for incineration.
One of our two city centres in the camping area, West City, is located in the northern end of Camping West.
In West City you can enjoy a refreshment in Volunteer Hub West – one of our two meeting spots for volunteers in the camping area.
