Roskilde Festival 2024

Roskilde, Denmark

Roskilde Festival 2024 encourages the creation of music in a celebration for the masses. 

Roskilde Festival in Denmark is one of Europe’s most popular music festivals. What is really cool about this festival is that it was originally started by two high school students and has since developed into a non-profit organization focusing on cultivating and supporting “music, culture and humanism.” In recent years, festival goers have had a major say in what charities will benefit from the event. ALL proceeds go to whatever charity is chosen. Over 150 bands come and share their passion of music with thousands of festival goers.

They even have separate lakes for fishing and swimming.  The event is cashless so make sure you remember your credit or debit card.
