Roskilde Festival Roskildefestivalen är en årligen återkommande musikfestival i den danska staden Roskilde. Enligt traditionen öppnar campingområdet den sista söndagen i juni, vilket erbjuder festivalgästerna gott om tid att komma till ro och "värma upp". Officiellt börjar festivalen följande torsdag vid festivalområdet och pågår i fyra dagar. Festivalen hölls första gången 1971 under namnet Sound festival och arrangerades av elevrådsordföranden och vice elevrådsordföranden vid gymnasiet Katedralskolan, Mogens Sandfær och Jesper Switzer Møller, tillsammans med bokningsagenten Carl Fischer. Festivalen pågick i två dagar på Dyrskuepladsen, och fokus låg på jazz, blues och folkmusik. Den var Danmarks första större musikfestival, men trots publisuccé gick festivalen med förlust. 1973 togs festivalen över av "the Roskilde Foundation", som sedan dess har skött festivalen som en ideell organisation för utvecklandet och stöttandet av musik, kultur och humanism. Numera finns det ett flertal scener. Den orange scenen köptes av The Rolling Stones som använt den under en Europa-turné. Scenen användes första gången 1978 då bland andra Bob Marley uppträdde på den. År 2000 klämdes nio personer ihjäl och ett trettiotal personer skadades under en konsert med Pearl Jam. Ledningen bestämde att inte avbryta festivalen. Numera pågår festivalen i fyra dygn (+uppvärmningsdagar) och musikinriktningen är främst rock, elektronisk dansmusik och hiphop, och festivalen lockar besökare från Skandinavien och resten av Europa. Under 2000-talet har festivalen årligen ungefär 170 band, 3000 artister, 70000 betalande gäster, 25000 volontärer och 4000 mediarepresentanter på ett område stort som 25 fotbollsplaner. 25 personer jobbar heltid året runt med att arrangera festivalen. Vi på Festivalphoto har besökt festivalen 18år i rad och många fler kommer det bli, vi ses där! http://roskilde-festival.dk/ |

Colombian/American singer-songwriter Kali Uchis and UK veteran PJ Harvey will be among the headliners at next year's Roskilde Festival, following a 2023 line-up that included Lil Nas X, Burna Boy, Kendrick Lamar and many others.

The inaugural announcement for Roskilde Festival 2024 spans across multiple styles, genres and continents, also featuring Argentinian rapper Trueno, American hardcore punk collective The Armed, and Japan's Violent Magic Orchestra.
"We have a long-running history of being a progressive festival with an international perspective, and we consistently push ourselves to further that purpose. We aim to inspire every single one of our 130,000 festival participants with a diverse line-up characterized by artistic curiosity and groundbreaking headliners presented in a unique festival setting", says Anders Wahrén, Roskilde Festival's Program Director.
Unfolding dreams for a better future Roskilde Festival is the biggest music festival in Northern Europe and is located just 20 miles outside of Copenhagen, offering a multitude of camping solutions as well as an onsite train station. The festival will also present a vast line-up of interdisciplinary art and activism through talks, workshops and performances.
"Roskilde Festival is a very communal event where dreams and new ideas for a better tomorrow are being addressed, exchanged, cultivated and eventually tried out by our participants. And music and art play a big part in inspiring us to even think and sense those new ideas to begin with", says Anders Wahrén.

Det er netop meddelt, at det ikke er tilladt at gennemføre store arrangementer i Danmark til sommer. Forbuddet gælder også Roskilde Festival.
Det betyder, at Foreningen Roskilde Festival som ventet må udskyde afholdelsen af Roskilde Festival nr. 50 til sommeren 2022.
Signe Lopdrup, Roskilde Festivals administrerende direktør, siger:
"Aflysningen er jo desværre ikke helt uventet for os. Men det er meget ulykkeligt, og vi er knuste over, at vi ikke får mulighed for at samles igen på vores festival og bidrage til at genskabe de fællesskaber, som corona-krisen har ødelagt for landets unge. Det er der brug for nu. Aflysningen er meget alvorlig for vores forening og et hårdt stød for kulturens vækstlag og den værdikæde, der er med til at skabe festivalen."
Billetter kan overføres til 2022
Har man købt billet til den udsolgte festival i 2021, kan man overføre den til 2022. Ønsker man ikke at overføre sin billet, vil man kunne få den refunderet.
De præcise omstændigheder for overførsel og refusion vil være klar snarest muligt.
Signe Lopdrup siger:
"Det vil være en uvurderlig og afgørende hjælp for os, at billetkøbere overfører deres billet til 2022. Vi har oplevet en kæmpe opbakning fra billetkøberne gennem hele corona-tiden. Deres fortsatte støtte til os og andre aflyste arrangører er præcist det, som skal føre os igennem krisen. På den måde kan vi igen samles til Roskilde Festival på den anden side."
Er sikret kompensation
Sommerens festivaler er sikret kompensation for deres tab. Den økonomiske hjælp er afgørende for Roskilde Festival, da den er baseret på en almennyttig foreningsmodel, hvor alt overskud doneres til velgørende arbejde for børn og unge.
The 33-year-old rapper straight out of Compton takes his place among the headliners in the lineup for Roskilde Festival number 50 in 2021.
Roskilde Festival gives its participants one more thing to look forward to in the new year.
Rapper, songwriter, producer, Pulitzer Prize winner Kendrick Lamar returns to the festival in 2021.
Kendrick Lamar is certainly among the greatest rap artists of his generation. He has repeatedly impressed audiences as well as critics, and hip-hop icons such as Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg have hailed him as 'The New King of the West Coast'.
Roskilde Festival's head of programme, Anders Wahrén, says:
"We are on the threshold of a new year, and we think there is a need and reason to be hopeful. That's why we're revealing another act for next year's festival."
"Despite his relatively young age, Kendrick Lamar is a modern legend and he has been one of the hottest wishes among our participants since he made his debut at Roskilde Festival in 2013. He's a show man but also a politically engaged artist with something on his mind, and he appeals to a wide audience without pandering."
Roskilde Festival has previously announced acts like The Strokes, Tyler, The Creator, Faith No More, HAIM, Thom Yorke Tomorrow's Modern Boxes, Anderson . Paak & The Free Nationals, FKA twigs, Mayhem, Megan Thee Stallion, The Whitest Boy Alive, TLC and many more.
