Roskilde Skate

Visit the 2,500 m2 large Roskilde Skate where professional skaters challenge both ramps and gravity.

Roskilde Skate’s impressive 2500 m2 big area will again this year be the site for acrobatic air manoeuvres when some of the world’s best skateboard and BMX riders throw their bodies – and gear – around above a hip hop booming skate stage.

You also have the opportunity of challenging gravity – if you dare! Otherwise, enthusiastic DJs always stand ready to deliver music. Look forward to Djuna Barnes, DJ Kaalhoved, DJ Lars H, DJ Miss Shakedown, OHOI! crew, Sunny Beach Night, Salty Bit, DJ Steen Rock, Teki Latex and White Pony.

The programme at Roskilde Skate is presented in collaboration with CPH Skatepark, Converse and Sony Ericsson.

Graffiti celebrates 10 years at Roskilde Festival
It is not only musical experiences that await the audience when the festival site and its seven music stages open on Thursday 2 July.

This year, graffiti art celebrates its 10-year jubilee at Roskilde Festival. The celebration is carried out with an international lineup of world-class artists who will decorate more than 1000 metres of fence with all kinds of colours, subjects and messages.

Daily workshop
Graffiti is not only for the few. If you have a hankering for expressing yourself and are game for taking on spray cans, hand ‘tags’ and painting masks, just show up at Roskilde Festival’s graffiti workshop at Agora B around the skate ramp.

From Sunday 28 June to Wednesday 1 July from noon till night, you can be guided and misguided by Roskilde Festival’s graffiti girls.

Remember to behave and spraypaint only at the wall by the skating ramp.

Roskilde Festival’s graffiti project is carried out in cooperation with Molotow.
