No glass, not even empty bottles

Glass and glass packaging of any kind are banned — and so are bags of empty bottles and cans.

Open fire only in the designated cooking areas

Every kind of open fire is restricted to the areas the festival has designated — and that expressly includes candles, oil lamps, tiki torches and barbecues. Nothing may burn at your own tent. The cooking areas are dotted around the camping areas.

No fuel except Trangia bottles up to 1 litre

Fuel is banned. The only exception is one-litre Trangia bottles, and even those only for cooking in the designated areas.

No solar panels, no generators

Solar panels and power generators are expressly banned. That makes Roskilde the only festival in this list that rules out solar as well.

Tents up to 9 m², no flat-pack gazebos

Tents over nine square metres are banned, as are all lightweight gazebos that come as a kit. Tarpaulins used to reserve pitches are not allowed.

No furniture except lightweight camping furniture

Furniture and flammable items may not come onto the site. Sleeping bags, sleeping mats and other lightweight gear are the exception — as is folding camping furniture.

Large sound systems only with permission

Large sound systems need permission from the festival in advance; there is a separate application process for it. The organiser expressly asks you to agree things with your neighbours when setting up.

No drones, no fireworks, no spray paint

Fireworks are banned; drones only with permission from the security organisation. Spray paint and permanent markers are prohibited too, as are weapons and building materials without permission.

No animals except assistance dogs

Animals are banned as a rule, with the exception of assistance dogs.

Caravans three metres apart

Caravans have to keep three metres apart from one another; a marshal helps you park. Tents and guy lines have to stay inside the marked areas so that the fire service lanes stay clear.

Only half a litre in the concert arena

You may take at most 0.5 litres of drink into the inner festival site. Hand carts, bicycles, professional cameras and sound systems stay outside too.

Take your rubbish to a container every day

Waste has to be taken to a container every day so that it does not pile up in the camp.
