Transport and parking
You can park your bike by all entrances to Roskilde Festival:
- Entrance West by Gate 25
- Entrance North at the corner of Maglegårdsvej and Darupvej (Gate 1)
- Entrance East across from Gate 35
We also have bike parking by Volunteers’ Village and Volunteer Camping.
Bike parking is free of charge for everyone.
Anyone can ride their bike in the Camping Area and on Darupvej without a bike permit.
In general, bikes are not allowed on the Inner Area when the area is open to participants. However, special cases may require the need to bring a bike to the Inner Area – and only in these cases is a bike permit issued.
You need a bike permit, if you must bring your bike to the Inner Area between Wednesday 1 July at 16:00 and Sunday 5 July at 08:00 – except in the service hours between 04:00 and 10:00.
You can apply for at bike permit with your supervisor. The application must then be approved by your Division Management. Note, that you must have a special reason for bringing your bike on to the Inner Area to get the permission.
A bike permit is a wristband that must be attached to the bike, and it can be collected at Check-in.
Without a bike permit, it will still be possible to bring a bike:
- from Darupvej to Camping East - east and west of Inner Area
- through Gate 14 to Gate 10 behind Lagune and Eos.
- through Gate 3(A) to Gate 41 behind Volunteers’ Village and Sovebyen
Free shuttle bus for volunteers
If you need to get around the festival area, you can take the shuttle bus, which is free of charge for volunteers upon presentation of a volunteer wristband.
On Friday 26 June from 14:00, the bus runs between Roskilde Station (Ny Østergade) and West via Check-in until midnight.
From Saturday 27 June at 06:00, the bus runs 24 hours a day between East and West.
On Monday 6 July, the bus runs from 06:00 to 15:00 between West and Roskilde Station (Ny Østergade).
Long-distance bus to and from the festival
For longer journeys to and from the festival, it is also possible to travel by bus.
As a volunteer, you can travel free of charge on Nobina's buses from Køge Nord and Roskilde Station to the festival before you have received your volunteer wristband. You simply present your check-in card when boarding.
We want everyone to be safe and secure when moving around on the festival site. At the same time, we must be able to continue creating the festival even if the Danish authorities impose tighter restrictions on driving.
This is why we are significantly reducing driving on the entire festival grounds. We are doing this by, among other things, tightening the requirements to obtain a driving permit – especially for driving in areas with festival audiences.
It is important that we all support this new initiative and treat fellow volunteers at gates with respect.
Driving permits on RF26
To obtain a driving permit on RF26, driving must be necessary to be able to carry out your role, and you must have exhausted all other options. If you believe that you need a driving permit, you must contact your team leader.
If you are granted a driving permit, your name and driving license number must appear on the driving permit, and you must always present your driving license when entering the area. Remember to have your driving license ready so that we can avoid excessive waiting times and long queues.
If you do not have your license or driving permit with you, you will be refused entry at the gates. Violating the restrictions will result in expulsion and/or cutting of your wristband.
In the outer areas, there will be speed-reducing measures in several places – all so that we can travel safely and securely in the festival area.
Contact the Permit Office for further information.

Follow the traffic laws and show consideration
The Danish Road Traffic Act also applies at the festival area and the speed limit everywhere is max. 20 km/h.
Be considerate of pedestrians and pay special attention in congested areas. Never drive on the grass if at all avoidable.
It is not allowed to operate work vehicles, trucks, and other vehicles without a valid license.
It is against the law to transport people in work vehicles if they’re not made to carry passengers. Therefore, never sit on an open truck bed or other open vehicles.
We recommend everyone to use public transport, or to go by bike, when going to the festival. It is better for the environment, and we prefer to use the parking areas for better camping facilities.
However, we understand that some people need to come by car, and for that purpose, we have set up several parking lots in connection with Roskilde Festival.
Parking for volunteers
There are two large parking lots for cars – EAST and WEST (which is divided into two zones: W and WY).
As a volunteer, you can park your vehicle on the parking lots for volunteers. This is free of charge and all you need to do is to show your volunteer wristband at the entrance. The areas are located by W, EY and WY.
W is for short term parking while you are on shift, while EY and WY are for long term parking. There is a 15-minute walk from the parking area to the festival.
Note: PW1 will be closed on Saturday 27 June from 08:00 to 22:00 and on Wednesday 1 July from 12:00 to 20:00. During these times, please use PW5 instead.
If you want to park somewhere else, you can buy a parking spot in the paid parking areas on equal terms with paying festivalgoers.
Opening hours for parking areas
W (short-term parking), WY (long-term parking) and EY (long-term parking):
Saturday 27 June at 07:00 to Sunday 5 July at 12:00.
Parking in general
There is no surveillance in the areas, so make sure your insurance covers any damage or theft.
It is not allowed to sleep in the car.
Use of open fire, gas burner or other heat sources in the areas is not permitted.
Restricted Parking for volunteers with special parking needs
North of Darupvej at Gate 3, including the Business College, in City Centres and the depot in Vor Frue, have parking areas, which require special parking permits.
As with wristbands and driving permits, these permits are assigned individually in People by the respective divisions for cars with special parking needs.
Taxi ranks are on the opposite side of Entrance East and by Check-In.
We advise against using pirate taxis.
Trains run to and from Roskilde Station (Track 7) and our very own train station, Roskilde Festival Train Station (Roskilde Festivalplads St.), which is in Camping West. Travel time is approximately four minutes.
Train tickets – prices and sales
Price for a one-way ticket between Roskilde Station and Roskilde Festival Train Station is DKK 30.
Rejsekort is not applicable for train fare to Roskilde Festival Train Station – it only applies until Roskilde Station.
If you’re going further than Roskilde Station, DSB and DOT ticket fees apply.
Ticket sales on the festival area
DSB has set up their own ticket sales at Roskilde Festival Train Station. Here, you can buy train tickets, collect booked tickets, and get information about departure times, prices, DSB Ung etc.
Please note that we do not accept cash in the ticket sales at the festival.
