About being an all-year volunteer

What does it mean to be a an all-year volunteer and contribute to Roskilde Festival year-round?

Roskilde Festival has more than 2,500 volunteers who take part in creating the festival all year round or in the months leading up to the festival. They are the heart and soul of Roskilde Festival.

As an all-year volunteer, you become a part of a committed and diverse community spanning across generations, built upon 50 years of experience in organizing the festival. You make a difference and are an essential part of Roskilde Festival's ability to donate its entire proceeds to humanitarian and charitable causes.

You will have ample opportunities to try on new things, forge lifelong friendships, make an impact, and take responsibility for leading a significant task or a team of volunteers. Throughout the year, you will be invited to social and professional events such as festival evenings, volunteer parties, informative talks, workshops, and experiences exclusively for all-year volunteers.

Building Northern Europe's largest gathering for music, art, and activism requires a diverse range of people and expertise. As such, there are numerous exciting roles for all-year volunteers – both in terms of types of tasks and levels of responsibility.

  • Responsible role: You are responsible for leading a team, a project, an area, or a specific field of expertise
  • Co-creator role: You are involved in the planning and execution of a specific task

In the individual all-year volunteer roles, it will be specified what the role entails, the tasks involved, and how much of the year you are engaged. Some roles are year-round, while others are for the months leading up to the festival.
