Roskilde Festival is the largest North European culture and music festival and has existed since 1971. We are a non-profit organisation consisting of about 50 full-time employees and thousands of volunteers.
Volunteers
During the festival itself the number of volunteers increases to about 30,000. These volunteers staff the festival stalls, build stages, provide camping security etc. Most volunteers are from cultural organizations and sports associations in the area. These clubs and societies run most of the stalls at the Festival Site, and with their great variety in goods and atmosphere the stalls contribute to the unique, intimate and exciting ambience at Roskilde Festival.
Non-profit society behind the festival
The Roskilde Festival Charity Society is the organizer of Roskilde Festival. The purpose of the society is to support initiatives benefitting children and young people and to support humanitarian and cultural work. The society's work is independent of party politics and has no geographical borders.
Norway`s largest combined culture and congress centre. Grieghallen offers unique facilities in the center of Bergen, suitable for everything from large to medium-sized concerts, conferences, conventions and events. When you choose Grieghallen as your venue, you can be assured of receiving service at all stages.
Øyafestivalen started in 1999 with the philosophy of building up the Oslo music scene. Many years later, Øya is one of the biggest festivals in Norway, with global artists headlining, but we still care about the local music scene. We strive to be a festival with a heart, which comes down to the music we curate, how the site is carefully created, who we partner with, our environmental focus, and the organic food we serve - made by Oslo's best young chefs.
2014 marked the start of a new era for Øyafestivalen. Due to railroad construction at our old site we moved to an amazing new site called Tøyenparken. Bigger and more picturesque than our old site, it is situated between three Oslo landmarks; the internationally known former Munch Museum, the beautiful botanical gardens, and Oslo's best outdoor amphitheater park.
The city centre is only a short walk from the festival, which creates an exciting rendezvous between nature and culture, and between the outdoor festival experience during the day and the intimate club shows at night.
Dates: August 6–10 2024
