  2. Thehistoryofthe festival • Roskilde Festivalis a festival heldsoutofRoskildeinDenmark • Isone of the six biggest annual musicfestivals in Europe • It was created in 1971 by two high school students(MogensSandfaerand JesperSwitzerMoller, and promoter Carl Fischer) • It is Denmark's first real music-oriented festival • it covers more of the mainstream youth from Scandinavia and the rest of Europe • Until the mid-1990s the festival attracted mostly Scandinavians, but in recent years it has become more and more international

  3. Stages • The bands presented at Roskilde Festival are traditionally a balanced mix of large, well-known artistsand up-and-coming names. • As opposed to most other European festivals all bands play "real" concerts lasting for at least an hour. • The stages were until 2003 named after their colour • The music covers such styles as rock, Hip Hop, Metal, urban, electronica and 3rd world contemporary music • The Orange Stage is open in front of a huge fieldThecurrenttents are:

  4. Campsite • The festival campsite covers nearly 80 hectares and access to it is included in the ticket price • Apart from the small and separate Camping South it is divided into two areas, East and West, each comprising a service center with establishments ranging from food stalls to a cinema • In recent years the fences into the camping site have been overrun earlier than the official opening.This is called "Væltningafhegnet" (The overturning of the fence).

  5. Media • Roskilde Festival also has its own media • A newspaper with 1 daily issue and a radio station broadcasting 24/7 throughout the entire festival, including the initial "warm up" days • Besides playing music and reporting from the concerts and campsite • The festival radio also hosts the annual Naked Run, Therules are simple: You have to be the first to cross the finishing line, and you have to be naked • Festival tickets will be the winner

  6. The festival has four main focal points: • Great consideration should be given to security- and health-related conditions for the audience and volunteer workers at the festival. • Resource-spending shall be reduced as much as possible. • Environmentally sound products should be used whenever it is economically realistic, technically possible, and without health risk. • Waste should be handled with the greatest degree of recycling in mind.
