About being an all-year volunteer

What does it mean to be a an all-year volunteer and contribute to Roskilde Festival year-round?

Roskilde Festival has more than 2,500 volunteers who take part in creating the festival all year round or in the months leading up to the festival. They are the heart and soul of Roskilde Festival.

As an all-year volunteer, you become a part of a committed and diverse community spanning across generations, built upon 50 years of experience in organizing the festival. You make a difference and are an essential part of Roskilde Festival's ability to donate its entire proceeds to humanitarian and charitable causes.

Dive into your many opportunities as a all-year volunteer

Roskilde Festival is divided into five divisions – together, they create every corner of the festival.

In Deltagere (Participants), we ensure excellent hospitality for all our participants, from their arrival at Roskilde Station to their departure. Here, the focus is on traffic, parking, check-in, safety on the festival grounds, and creating fantastic camping areas for everyone. We set the framework for good behaviour among participants – so our festival can become greener and remain a safe haven for all.

In Handel og Gastronomi (Trade and Gastronomy), we secure a wide selection of organic and plant-based food, organic beverages, and responsibly produced products in our shops. We also manage cloakrooms, transport options, merchandise, battery charging, and camping gear rentals. Additionally, we create the best volunteer areas with plenty of perks for our volunteers.

In Kommunikation og Partnerskaber (Communication and Partnerships), we tell the story of Roskilde Festival year-round on social media and other channels. We run the info centre all year, conduct festival analyses, distribute donations, establish partnerships, and provide guided tours.

In Program, we curate the overall programme across music, art, and activism. Our ambition is to present progressive content in unique settings that embrace diversity. We have an international outlook and strive for diversity across all parameters. We also aim to lead the way in sound, lighting, and other aspects of festival production, building stages and production setups and taking them down again.

Why join as a all-year volunteer?
