Do you want your camp to be a part of a unique, creative, and strong community in the most colorful part of the camping site? Then Dream City is the place for you.
The area is characterized by being largely user-driven and is based on values such as social and environmental sustainability, community, and innovation. Additionally, Dream City is the only place at Roskilde Festival where festival-goers can build their own camp starting from the middle of April. Before we leave the festival, everyone participates in the mandatory Cleanup Sunday.
By beginning the build-up in April, the community in Dream City not only reach beyond individual camps, but also beyond the festival itself. Among other things, our Dreamers have developed a code of conduct that sets guidelines (see the Dream City intro guide for Roskilde Festival 2024 here) for when to play loud music, how to take care of one's own and neighbouring camps, and how we create a feeling of community between camps.

There are two types of camps in Dream City:
Construction Camps
The vast majority of our camps are construction camps that build structures on weekends and in their spare time between April 20th and June 23rd. The constructions are Dream City's trademark, and the only limit (almost) on how crazy, innovative, wild or ambitious a construction can be, is the imagination.
In previous years, we have seen everything from art installations to pirate ships - we only ask that the constructions contribute to the festival's guests and to the community in general. It is furthermore expected that our camps, in addition to their constructions, contribute to the area in some other way and that they interact with the other Dreamers. This can be done through events or other initiatives that festival guests can interact with in some way.
Event camps
The second type of camp in Dream City is event camps, where, just like the construction camps, the camp must contribute to the area and the community. However, the demands for innovation, sustainability, and contribution to the community are even greater for event camps, and therefore it is also expected that the events presented by a camp at registration are ambitious, well thought out, and meaningful.
If you want to know more about this year's Dream City or meet other Dreamers before applying, then you can attend our Dream City info-day the 9th of March – Find the event here on our Facebook page.
Register your camp before 12 April.
Each camp must be represented at at least one of the three workshops held in Copenhagen during the spring. Events for the workshops will be shared in your receipt mail after completing step one, you can also find the events at our Facebook page. Please visit the Dream City Facebook page for more information.
To confirm that you want to be part of Dream City, you must participate in Dream City's official opening in April, where you will also be allocated sleeping areas, construction areas, and meet your neighbours.
After 23 June and until the the festival opening on 29 June, there is no access to the festival grounds.

When we’re living together at Roskilde Festival, we need to keep our community fantastic. This also means that we need to take care of our beautiful festival grounds. We want to break with the throw-away culture. The green future of the planet is our joint responsibility.
When you actively reduce, sort and recycle before, during and after Roskilde Festival, you’re making a huge difference.
- Reduce means to bring as little as possible from home.
- Sort means that you help keep the festival clean by sorting your waste.
- Recycle means that you take your stuff home and use it again.
