Each year, about 5000 people from the international media world are offered accreditation for Roskilde Festival. Read here about important deadlines and services for media professionals at Roskilde '08.
Accreditation deadline 1 May
In order to gain admission to Roskilde Festival as a media professional and have access to all press facilities, it is necessary to be accredited. Accreditation for ALL international media is based on applications that Roskilde Festival receives no later than 1 May.
Each year, Roskilde Festival receives numerous applications, and all applications cannot be met with an accreditation.
No free media camp in 2008
All media representatives can camp at the restricted media camp areas near the Festival Site. In 2008, a fee is levied for camping at the restricted camp as Roskilde Festival has increasing expenses in order to secure sufficient areas for camping and service.
There are two possibilities for staying at the restricted camps: 1) You can either camping in your own tent (price: DKK 300 per person), or 2) you can camp in your own camper van/caravan (price: DKK 1500 per caravan).
Restricted camping offers access to toilets and hot showers. You can apply for camping at the restricted camps by using the application cards which are sent out after being accredited.
Access in all eight days
With an accreditation there is access to Roskilde Festival already from Sunday 29 June at 08.00 when the camping areas open with lots of events and activities for the audience and music at Pavilion Junior - the stage for Nordic upcoming artists.
The services and facilities in the Media Village open Wednesday 2 July, and all accredited media representatives must therefore work using their own means until the opening of the Media Village.
