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.
In Caravan Camping, you can stay in your caravan, campervan, or motorhome. You can set up an awning next to your vehicle.
The area includes showers (for a fee), toilet facilities, and running water.

Roskilde Festival Folk High School is hosting the Community Camping area Common Ground, which is located between Dream City and Central Park.
At the camping area you will find the 2000 square meter Dancefloor. The floor is made specifically for the hilly landscape of the camping area, where it stretches between the green hills and invites festival participants to physical expression.
The Dancefloor is a significant gathering point at Roskilde Festival, providing an opportunity to be together in the present and form temporary communities.
The Dancefloor was originally created as a large artwork titled Destroy Me Once, Destroy Me Twice by the German artist Katharina Grosse in 2022.

In addition, there are lots of exciting offers at the various food stalls.
Household furniture and the like are fire hazards and may 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.

There are different sound rules in the camping area depending on which area you are staying in. Small sound systems are allowed in all areas.
You can read our general sound policy for the camping area here.
If you wish to bring a large sound system and are staying in an area that is not a Community Camping area, you must apply for permission to bring the system. This guarantees that you will be allowed to bring your sound system and that you will be placed in an area where large sound systems are welcome.
A large sound system is defined as a system that is too large to be carried by one person without assistance from wheels or other aids.
Rules for large sound systems:
- The system must not exceed 2.3 metres in height. This also applies to flags, lights, or similar items.
- The system must be stable and not be able to rock or tip over due to weather conditions. For example, it must be secured with guy lines or support legs.
- No construction materials or furniture may be placed on the system, such as sofas or wooden terraces.
- Solar panels must be permanently mounted on the system and must be of the flexible type. Glass-based panels are not permitted, even if the glass is covered with another material such as epoxy.
- The system must be transportable by two people on foot and must not be motorised.
Application
If your camp wishes to bring a large sound system to the festival and you are not staying in a Community Camping area, you must apply by completing our application form.
You can find the application form here.
The application deadline was 15 March. It is therefore no longer possible to apply. Applicants will receive a response no later than 31 March.
Applications are assessed based on criteria such as contribution to camp atmosphere, community, engagement, and uniqueness.
If your camp is approved, you will be assigned a location along with an appropriately sized Get a Place product for your camp at that location, ensuring that your camp has a place to stay.
You therefore do not need to purchase a Get a Place product for your camp if your application is approved.

To limit the spread of fire it is important to ensure that all fire access roads and empty areas are 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 when 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.

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.
Which music system can you bring?
If you wish to bring a sound system that is too large for you yo carry by yourself without using wheels, help from other people, or other forms of assistance, you must apply for permission.
Read more about our rules for large sound systems
If you wish to bring a Soundboks or a similar smaller sound system, you do not need to apply.
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.
