Roskilde Festival
Darupvej, Roskilde
Roskilde Festival (RF) is the largest festival in the Nordic countries and one of the largest in Europe, where rhythmic music in many different genres is played. As at many other festivals, there is not only music but also events and various stalls. Roskilde Festival (Sound Festival) was started in 1971 by the secondary-school students Jesper Switzer Møller (then Magnussen) and Mogens Sandfær who, together with the promoter Carl Fischer, wanted to bring rock music to the provinces. It is held every year at the end of June and the beginning of July at Roskilde Dyrskueplads. The festival site itself, and thus most of the music, opens on Wednesday (until 2014 on Thursday), while the camping area opens on the Saturday before.
