A week at the festival can be intense, and being part of such a large community requires both energy and empathy.
That’s why we are committed to creating a framework where safety and freedom can coexist—and where everyone has the opportunity to participate on their own terms and feel seen and welcome.
Read more about how we do this in practice—and how you can be a part of it.
Safety is about how we treat each other—which is why we have guidelines.
Roskilde Festival is a community we all help shape. When 130,000 people come together, it's essential that we share a common responsibility for the atmosphere, behavior, and environment we create.
That’s why we have a Code of Conduct with five simple guidelines for good Roskilde style. The code emphasizes respect, consideration, and empowerment—and taking responsibility for ensuring that everyone feels welcome, free, and safe.
We take a clear stance against discrimination, boundary-crossing, or violent behavior. And we make it easy to get help if you experience something uncomfortable. You are never alone. By following the code, you help make Roskilde Festival a place where safety and freedom go hand in hand.
Concerts are the heart of Roskilde Festival—and one of the places where safety and community should shine brightest.
That’s why we work year-round with experts, emergency services, and authorities to ensure an intense—but never unsafe—concert experience.
Our crowd safety hosts ensure that everyone can feel safe in the crowd. We mark selected High Energy concerts so you know what to expect. And we guide you to choose your spot mindfully and take care of those around you.
You also have a role to play—when you make space, look out for your friends, and follow instructions, you help make Roskilde Festival a place where everyone can enjoy the music without worries.
Roskilde Festival should be experienced by as many people as possible—in many different ways. That’s why we’re continuously working to remove physical and mental barriers and improve access to both the festival site and the camping areas.
If you have limited mobility, a disability, or need calm surroundings, we’ve made it easier and safer to have a good experience. We’re also improving access to hygiene products, squat urinals, and quiet zones—because small improvements can make a big difference.
We know needs vary, and we meet you with flexibility, helpfulness, and clear information. You’ll find an overview of companion services, accommodation options, and sunflower lanyard distribution via the link below.
At Roskilde Festival, you should feel safe—day and night.
Around the clock, trained social workers, medics, safety hosts, and camping hosts are available if you need support, first aid, or just a safe space to turn to.
Our volunteers are prepared to meet you with respect and knowledge—whether you’ve experienced something boundary-crossing or just need a break from it all.
You’ll also find designated Soft Spots, where during the daytime you can get counseling and speak with professionals in a safe environment. Here, you’ll meet people ready to listen, help, and create space for dialogue. We also keep a phone line open 24/7, where you can reach out if you’ve experienced something distressing.
During the festival, you can always find help and practical information in the app and on our website.
