Please get in touch with Ticketmaster if you have any further questions about tickets.
Want a specific type of food? It shouldn’t be a problem at Roskilde Festival. We have about 80 food stalls.

We have developed a sound policy to create an acceptable and pleasant sound environment for both festival guests, employees and neighbours.
We also have a sound policy for the campsite. Many camps bring along big, home-built stereos. We ask everyone to show consideration for their neighbours. So if you’re in doubt whether you’re blasting your music too loud, it’s always a good idea to ask your neighbours how it affects their festival experience. It’s all about mutual respect. That’s what makes Roskilde a special place.
Additionally, you have to be able to transport your stereo easily. If you need motorised power to transport it, it's definitely too big. If your stereo is a rebuilt caravan, it belongs in Caravan Camping. Read more about this in the ACCOMMODATION section.
Sorry to be all ruly about this stuff - but it's important to behave well, and sometimes rules are just necessary.
We are teaming up with the Danish Health and Medicines Authority to launch the Music Against Drugs campaign. The purpose of the campaign is to stress that music venues and festivals are against drugs, and that we want to help young people say no to drugs in our environment.
The festival wants to support the view that drugs do not belong together with music – and that using drugs is a very bad idea because it is illegal and dangerous.
Each year festival-goers miss out on lots of great music because they are intoxicated by drugs or alcohol. We think that's a pity. Music is a fantastic stimulant in its own right. Music is what brings us together, creates extraordinary experiences and leaves a lasting impression. In itself, music has the ability to create a euphoric atmosphere, but you will miss out on this if you are intoxicated by drugs. Most drugs make you slow, so your brain will quite simply not pick up all the nuances of the music.
