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 "Væltning af hegnet" (The overturning of the fence).

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, 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

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.
