Each year Roskilde Festival makes big and small adjustments on the music stages. Last year the big sound tower in front of the Orange Stage was removed, and this year we freshen up the contents and designs on two of the festival’s other stages.
Intimacy in Roskilde Astoria
After 10 successful years, we say goodbye to Roskilde Ballroom. Since 1997 the stage has offered some of the biggest surprises at Roskilde Festival and has contributed to changing the audience’s view on world music. But now the time has come for trying new things.
Roskilde Astoria has room for new forms of expression and display – both in the range of music and in the design of the stage tent. ‘Delicate’ and intimate acts play in the daytime, while the late hours present a club stage with energetic parties in the closed tent. Roskilde Astoria makes room for intimacy between artists and the audience.
Naturally, we will not wave goodbye to world music – you will still find it as rich and surprising as it comes on all the festival’s stages.
Roskilde Cosmopol – music from the big city and the underground
Electronic music has fused with other forms of expression. Therefore, we are looking forward to presenting Roskilde Cosmopol, a new hot spot for the underground urban genres. Here you can hear hip hop, dancehall, grime, R&B, urban world music, neo soul and music from the more organic electronic scene.
It all takes place in a new stage design with room for bands, DJs, breakdance and rap battles, visuals and much more. Of course, the decoration has to match the music, so expect a cosmopolitical urban environment with inspiration from the pulsating beat of the big city. Roskilde Cosmopol has capacity for 6,000 people so there will also be plenty of space for dancing in the tent.
At the moment we are perfecting these brand-new stage concepts. We are looking forward to telling you much more about them during the new year – as we are to presenting them at this summer’s Roskilde Festival.

Litt synd, men personlig jeg tror ikke det skade festivalopplevelsen stort.

tipper de vet hva de gjør,men å fjerne ballroom er dristig
Vi som husker gul og grønn scene trekker bare på skuldrene; det har da vært forandringer før.
Men jeg har hatt mange gode stunder på ballroom, ikke minst fridd til kjæresten min der. Så litt vemodig blir det.
Hmm, det er sant. Det var farger en gang i tiden :)
Fri til kjæresten på Ballroom, respekt.
Dette her minner om noe quart-festivalen kunne funnet på.
Hva blir det neste? COCA COLA-SCENE? MICROSOFT-SCENE? EN EGEN SCENE DEDIKERT TIL TRANCE OG EURO-DANCE??
Ahh..dritt, av de to åra jeg har vært på roskilde har ballroom hatt mesteparten av de bedre konsertene som jeg var på. Det her suger balle!
