The Odeon stage played a very special part at this year's Roskilde Festival. It was located in the middle of a green area where all trade and activity focused on sustainability. The same effort was made on the stage with power-saving LED lighting.

All performing artists on the stage were invited to participate in an art workshop where they could make paintings out of recycled material.

Members of the French metal band Gojira and the German colourful band Deichkind visited the art workshop backstage and gave vent to their creative expression with brushes.

A selection of these works are now auctioned off at auction house Lauritz.com's website. The auctions run for 9 days – until Wednesday 23 September.
