Roskilde Festival: Camping

Camping at Roskilde '09

When thousands of festive festival guests move into their tents in a matter of days outside of Roskilde, an intoxicated confusion of crashed festival colours, bright banners and pavilions ready to drop is created - a unique patchwork of tent pegs, heads-on approaches and miles of duct tape.

Read about the camps which sprung up like mushrooms and created a completely unique town in the world: Roskilde Festival.

We will put articles online at a running basis during Roskilde Festival 2009.

Camp of the year ’09:”We knew we could do it”

It was a tight race until the last minute but the red and white bobble hats from Camp Where’s Wally deservedly won the title as Camp of the Year 2009. The festival’s spokesman Esben Danielsen kept them in suspense, but finally the camp members could let loose and shout with joy.

Location, location, location!

Is West really so hip, and is the swimming lake the attraction in the gravel plagued East? Orange Press has been out digging the surface and guides you through the best and worst sites on the camping area.

Smiley equals a healthy stomach

Clean hands and a cold refrigerator are necessities, if you want to avoid vomit and diarrhoea. Fortunately, Michael Larsen from The Veterinary and Food Administration is keeping an eye on the food stands for you.

Criminal Literature at Roskilde

In a pavilion by the fishing lake a couple of writers are writing a crime novel.
