Dates and the first names on the line-up

Roskilde Festival 2027 runs for eight days, from Saturday 26 June through Saturday 3 July. The organizer opened ticket sales with its first artist announcement on 30 September 2026. That first wave includes Tame Impala, Caroline Polachek, Kacey Musgraves, Patti Smith Quartet, Ezra Collective, Underscores, Karpe and Suki Waterhouse, alongside Danish and international acts across several genres.

Tame Impala is confirmed for the Orange Stage. The announced artists already span experimental pop, country-pop, jazz, rap and heavier music. Roskilde Festival says the 2027 music programme will build to around 180 acts. Check the official line-up and news (opens in a new tab) for additions, set times and any changes.

A festival built around music and community

Roskilde Festival was first held in 1971. The Roskilde Festival Charity Society (opens in a new tab) organises the independent, non-profit event. The organizer says that about 130,000 participants, volunteers, artists and staff come together each year. That figure includes the people who make the festival happen as well as those attending it.

Music is the centre of the programme, with room for established artists and new voices. The Orange Stage is its best-known main stage, while art, activism, food and shared activities extend the programme across the site. The current official food guide calls for 100% organic produce and at least one vegetarian or vegan dish at every stall. Volunteers work across the site, from stalls and camping areas to information and clean-up. Profits support charitable causes, giving the festival a year-round purpose beyond the event itself.

The scale is practical as well as cultural. For a week, the festival grounds function like a temporary town, with performances and places to eat, rest and meet friends. Camping lets visitors stay close to the programme, while each day can be planned around the artists and activities they want to see.

Camping, accommodation and getting there

The campsite is scheduled to open from Saturday 26 June through Sunday 4 July 2027, one day after the festival itself ends. RF27 offers four kinds of camping: Regular Camping, Special Camping, Community Camping and Volunteer Camping. Areas, booking details and facilities can change, and the organizer is still adding practical information, so check the official camping page (opens in a new tab) before booking equipment or planning a stay in a particular area.

Visitors who prefer a room can look for hotels and other stays in Roskilde, then travel to the festival site each day. Accommodation fills early around major summer events, so compare cancellation terms and transport before confirming a stay. Browse places to stay in Roskilde (opens in a new tab).

Roskilde is served by rail and road, and the festival provides arrival information for visitors travelling by train, bus, bicycle or car. The detailed guide for the 2027 edition is expected in spring 2027. Check the organizer’s travel information (opens in a new tab) close to departure for current connections, access routes and arrival advice. Visitors who need step-free access or other support should consult the festival’s accessibility information (opens in a new tab), which the organizer updates as details are confirmed.

Pack for changeable summer weather, with comfortable footwear, a light waterproof layer and a portable way to keep devices charged. If camping, review the current rules and facilities before you travel. Build in time for walking between stages and for queues at busy points on the site.
