The inner festival site
North and East of Eos, you will find a selection of unique shops and Food is Now.
Food Is Now is an experience room and a restaurant in Tradezone. The area lovingly explore the potentials and possibilities of food. We make room for strong voices and key actors within the food system, and invite guests to workshops, talks, and sensory tasting experiences. Every day, seats can be purchased at the table, where a multi-course social dining menu unfolds using local ingredients in collaboration with chefs, youth organizations, and artists.
See the Food Is Now programme in the schedule.
It is not permitted to bring professional cameras, video or audio recording equipment at the festival without prior agreement. A professional camera is defined as a camera where the lens can be removed, or which cannot be in a (pants) pocket.

FAQ on the ban of disposable or lightweight pavilions
Which pavilions are no longer allowed?
Disposable pavilions are no longer permitted in the camping area. By disposable pavilions, we mean the lightweight and inexpensive, typically white, self-assembly pavilions of low quality.
Why are disposable pavilions banned?
Many disposable pavilions cannot withstand several days of wind, rain, and heavy use. They often break and are left behind as waste. To reduce unnecessary single-use consumption and the amount of camping waste, we have chosen to ban this type of pavilion.
Can I still cover my camp?
Absolutely. You can still cover up to 9 m² in your camp.
Which pavilions are allowed?
Durable fold-out or scissor pavilions are still allowed. This applies to both the pavilions you bring yourself and those you rent. What they have in common is that they are more robust and designed to be used again and again.
May I bring my own pavilion?
Of course. You are welcome to bring your own pavilion if it is a durable fold-out or scissor pavilion that unfolds rather than being assembled from loose parts. The pavilion must be taken home after the festival and preferably used year after year.
Can I rent a pavilion?
Yes. If you do not wish to bring your own pavilion, you can rent one via the festival's webshop. Renting is an option – not a requirement. The important thing is that pavilions do not end up as waste.
What should I do if I’ve accidentally brought a disposable pavilion?
If you have brought a classic white lightweight self-assembly pavilion, you may not set it up, but you must of course take it home again when leaving the festival. If it has already been set up, our hosts will ask you to take it down.
FAQ on the ban of glass packaging
What do you mean by glass packaging?
Glass packaging covers all types of glass – both for food and beverages. This includes bottles, jars for wine or water, and any other packaging or objects made of glass.
This does however not include medicin bottles.
Why is glass packaging not allowed?
In 2025, we collected more than 25 tons of glass waste at the festival. Some of it is correctly sorted, but unfortunately a lot of it ends up as shards on the ground – especially in the camping areas.
Glass shards pose a risk of injury and require extensive manual cleaning before the festival site can be returned to the landowners in the same condition as when we received it. Therefore, we have chosen to phase out glass packaging in the camping area.
Do you sell products in glass in the camping area?
No. We no longer sell any food or beverages in glass packaging in the camping area.
What does this mean for me as a participant?
You are still welcome to bring food, alcohol, soft drinks, etc. - just not in glass packaging.
Cans, plastic, and cartons are still allowed.
May I still bring alcohol into the camping area?
Yes. Alcohol is allowed in the camping area as long as it is not in glass packaging.
What should I do if I have brought glass by mistake?
Glass items can be handed in at the glass containers by the entrances to the camping area or in the sorting bins placed around the campsite.
If our hosts observe glass in the area, you will be asked to dispose of it correctly.
Out of respect for the nine young men who died on 30 June 2000 at Roskilde Festival and their families, we made a memorial grove in the western end of the audience area for Orange Stage in 2001.
The sculpture made by Lars Skov Nielsen is engraved with the writing “how fragile we are”.
Platform is a stage for performances, dance, art, and music. The dynamic setting brings the audience and artists close together for the many special, sensuous experiences.
You can check out the programme for Platform in the schedule.
Roskilde Festival's music stages are located in the inner part of the festival site. Read more about the stages below, and check the schedule for a full overview of everything you can experience.
Arena
Arena is Roskilde Festival's largest covered stage space, which year after year brings together the audience in very special communities under the iconic tent. In 2024, we expanded the area south of the stage to make room for greener surroundings, more elbow room and the opportunity to enjoy a refreshment in the shade of the treetops.
Lagune
Lagune is a tent stage that embraces music in all genres and from all over the world. The stage is the setting for both the big concerts and the more intimate experiences. In the first days of the festival, Lagune is home to new Nordic shooting stars, who can be experienced in a scaled-down stage space.
Eos
Eos debuted in 2024 and is one of the festival's open-air stages. In the first days, the stage presents new Nordic talents, while in the last four days you can experience a wide range of Danish and international names. Stop by Eos at the western end of the inner square.
Fauna
Fauna is one of Roskilde Festival's new stages and is located in the northeast corner of the inner square. It presents both subdued and hard-hitting expressions that come into their own in an intimate setting. Fauna also guarantees the classic Roskilde meetings with tomorrow's stars and niche artists, who blur boundaries and genre distinctions.
Gloria
Gloria is the smallest stage at Roskilde Festival. Here you step into the darkness and get up close to the performers in a strong visual setting. It is the stage where we experiment the most – from the most fragile sounds to the most extreme and physically intense expression.
Orange Stage
The Orange Scene will be significantly different in 2026 when the stage is resized. It is Roskilde Festival's main stage and the focal point for the largest communities. Over the years, the Orange Scene has provided a setting for concerts with the world's biggest stars and living legends. The iconic orange tent cloth is also the festival's landmark.
