ROSKILDE
Northern Europe's biggest festival, from 26 June to 3 July 2027 near Roskilde in Denmark: eight days in total, ~130,000 people, a non-profit festival run by thousands of volunteers, built around its legendary Orange Stage.
Roskilde 2027
The Roskilde festival.
In a nutshell.
The Roskilde Festival takes place in late June 2027 on the Dyrskuepladsen plain, south of the small town of Roskilde, half an hour by train from Copenhagen. It's Northern Europe's biggest festival, and one of the most singular: created in 1971, it's been run since 1972 by a non-profit foundation that gives all its profits to cultural and humanitarian causes, and it runs thanks to tens of thousands of volunteers. The festival lasts eight days: four "warm-up" days where the campsite is already a party, then four days of concerts.
The lineup is a manifesto of eclecticism: rock, electronic, hip-hop, world music, metal, experimental, with world-class headliners on the Orange Stage — the orange big-top stage bought from the Rolling Stones in 1978, now the festival's emblem — and dozens of discoveries on the smaller stages. Roskilde owns booking what few others would dare, and its crowd follows.
Camping is part of the identity: 80 hectares, a pop-up town with its own neighbourhoods, improvised saunas and its famous naked run. The atmosphere is known for being welcoming and very well organised. The 2000 tragedy, when nine people died crushed in front of the stage, deeply marked the festival and pushed it to reinvent crowd safety in the pits — standards adopted across Europe since. Late-June Danish weather: long days, 20°C, and showers that give no warning.

The Orange Stage
The Rolling Stones' big top
The main stage is an orange tent canopy bought from the Stones in 1978. Its silhouette has become the festival's logo.
Eight days of camping
A pop-up town
Four warm-up days before the concerts: the 80-hectare campsite is a party in its own right, with its own neighbourhoods, saunas and traditions.
What to pack
Nordic summer: long and humid
Late June in Denmark: 18 hours of daylight, 15 to 22°C, frequent showers, cool nights. A sturdy tent, boots, raincoat, warm sleeping bag, sleep mask.

Payment
Cashless via a rechargeable wristband, or contactless card directly (Denmark is nearly cashless). A deposit on cups. Free drinking water everywhere.
Access and transport
Train to Roskilde station (30 min from Copenhagen, 15 min from the airport with a connection), then free shuttles or a 25-minute walk to the site. Extra trains run at night during the festival.
Accessibility
Roskilde has a full accessibility scheme: adapted camping, platforms, companions, sign-language interpreters on request, a help point. Register in advance.
TransportRoskilde is half an hour from Copenhagen by train; the airport is very well connected.
- By plane
- Copenhagen-Kastrup Airport (CPH), direct flights from Paris, Geneva, Brussels and most capitals. From the airport, a direct train or via the central station to Roskilde (~40 min).
- By train
- From Copenhagen, trains every 10-20 min to Roskilde (~25 min). Then a free festival shuttle or a 25 min walk to the site. Reinforced night trains during the event.
- From Europe
- Night or day train from Hamburg (~4h30), or from Sweden via the Øresund bridge (Malmö 1h away). The low-carbon option is realistic.
- By car
- Motorway from Copenhagen, paid car parks near the site to book. Not very useful given the quality of the train.
AccommodationCamping is part of the ticket and the experience; the alternative is staying in Roskilde or Copenhagen.
- Camping
- Included in the full festival ticket. General zones, or more comfortable options: 'Get A Tent' (pre-pitched tent), quiet camping, 'Clean Out Loud' (eco-friendly camping), camper van pitches.
- Roskilde town
- A few hotels and rentals in the town, a 25 min walk or a bus stop from the site. Few, to book very early.
- Copenhagen
- Staying in the capital and taking the train back and forth is entirely viable (25 min), especially if you only come for concert days.
- Gear
- Everything must be brought for camping. Stands resell the essentials on site, and the festival encourages you not to leave your gear behind.
DestinationDenmark suits a Copenhagen city trip combined with a cultural stop in Roskilde.
- In Roskilde
- The cathedral (UNESCO heritage, necropolis of Danish kings) and the Viking Ship Museum, by the fjord — real visits to fit around the festival.
- In Copenhagen
- Nyhavn, the Tivoli gardens, Christiania, the food scene and harbour baths. The city is done entirely by bike.
- Weather
- Late June in Denmark: very long days (night barely dark), 15 to 22°C, wind, frequent showers. Pack warm for the evening.
