Camp Stage
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 "Væltning af hegnet" (The overturning of the fence).
Campsite
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, The rules 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
Media

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.
The festival has four main focal points:
