The festival
The iconic Orange Stage takes the headliners, but Roskilde's secret is the warm-up: the campsite opens four days before the music proper, becoming a self-governing city of communal dinners and sound systems. Danes book with their entire friendship group; volunteering a few shifts earns a free ticket.
