The Roskilde Festival, one of Europe's longest-running and best rock events, takes over Roskilde every year. Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, Coldplay, Faith No More and Nine Inch Nails headline, with profits donated to charitable organisations.
The bill features around 175 acts in all. Further highlights include Oasis, Pet Shop Boys, Slipknot, Kanye West, Trentemøller (DJ set), Eagles of Death Metal, Fleet Foxes, Grace Jones, Madness, The Mars Volta and Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
The festival first took place in 1971 and has grown steadily since, now attracting around 100,000 people. The event is environmentally aware - no cans or glass or plastic bottles are allowed on the site, all drinks are poured in mugs or sold in cartons. All this contributes to the special atmosphere.
The organisers look to provide fun and provoke thought - check out the onsite art installations. The festival's campsite is divided into small areas, each well-equipped so festival-goers can live, cook, rest, meet up and party in relative comfort.
