Roskilde Festival is more than music. Across the festival site and camping areas, you can explore artworks, performances, workshops, conversations and activities that invite you to take part, tune in and see the world from new perspectives.
This year’s Art & Activism programme is about community and hopes for the future that we create together. About care, accessibility, play, activism and the moments when the festival suddenly becomes something you could never have planned from home.
To make it easier to find your way into the programme, we have gathered three guides, each offering concrete highlights and inspiration for experiences during this year’s festival.
Before diving in to the line-up, get a taste of the programme in this video:
How do we imagine a brighter future? In this guide, you can meet artists and communities working with hope for the future, peace, climate, shared stories and young voices.
You can help write a collective festival saga, dance wool into art, create accessories from waste, sing in a choir for peace and experience works that explore how we can imagine and create a better world together.
How do we create festival spaces where more people can take part? This guide brings together artworks, performances and workshops that explore accessibility, empathy, safer spaces, bodies, identity and new ways of being together.
You can take the long way up Jesse Darling’s spiral installation, step into a pavilion for calm and belonging, meet magical queer fairies, experience the collective energy of dancehall culture and feel how art can make room for more voices and experiences.
Everyday life at Roskilde Festival’s camping area is nothing like the one you know from home. This guide is for anyone who wants to follow their curiosity and throw themselves into the festival’s more playful activities.
You can build layer cake on a skateboard, learn a wedding waltz, dance in the sunset with roller skates on, meet new people in the festival garden, watch vampire films when night takes over, make climate-friendly pizza and try climbing as activism with Greenpeace.
The Art & Activism programme is bursting with experiences you won’t find anywhere else. Check out the full programme here or in your Roskilde Festival app – and jump in when something catches your eye. You never know when you’ll stumble into one of your most powerful festival moments.
