Oh yes, here we go again! After a whole year of waiting, Roskilde Festival 2026 is finally here!
The tents are up, your first neighbours have moved in next door, and a full week of music, community and unforgettable moments lies ahead!
But some of the best experiences won't happen in front of the stages.
Every year, our Community Camping areas come alive with unique traditions, quirky competitions and camp parties you won't find anywhere else. Created by festivalgoers, for festivalgoers, these are some of the events you'll want to add to your schedule right now.
The whole festival at your fingertips
Every day during Roskilde Festival, you can dive into fresh interviews, guides, recommendations and stories on roskilde-festival.dk and in the app.
Discover your next favourite concert, meet the artists behind the music and get closer to everything happening on, behind and beyond the stages.
Grab your swimwear and get your best moves ready.
Camp Splash is once again inviting festivalgoers to the ultimate water party, complete with a giant slip 'n' slide, fun competitions and inflatable rings in Settle'n Share. Expect soaked festivalgoers, plenty of laughs and great vibes all round.

If you're dreaming of a beach party in the middle of the festival, the lake is the place to be.

How fast can you carry another person across an obstacle course?

Coffee in your cup. Music in your body.

Perfect if you want to kick off your festival morning with something warm in your hands and a dancefloor under your feet.

Every summer, people ask the same question: "Did you see the Naked Run?"
Dream City's most legendary tradition is back as 30 brave participants race through the streets of Dream City wearing nothing but their courage. Expect cheering crowds, plenty of laughter and the chance to win a ticket to Roskilde Festival 2027.

Expect kickabouts, free Maté Maté and plenty of football chat across club colours.
Football Shirt Friday: Friday 3 July, 1.00–5.00 pm at Camp Klimabold, Common Ground.
One of the best things about Roskilde Festival is that you set the pace. Some days call for glitter, foam and dancing until your legs give in. Others are perfect for slowing down, finding a spot in the shade and recharging before your next adventure.
Across the festival site, you'll find quiet areas, green spaces and places where the pace is a little gentler. Look for the Pause icon on the festival map in the app to find spots where you can take a breather and recharge whenever you need it.
