And music and art play a big part in inspiring us to even think and sense those new ideas to begin with.”Tickets for Roskilde Festival 2024 are on sale now, and can be bought via the festival’s site.Read More: The Japanese House announces 2024 UK tourA full festival ticket gives access to the festival from 29 June to 6 July and costs around €320 (DKK 2,400) plus a fee; a one-day ticket costs around €160 (DKK 1,200) plus fee.In our full five-star review of Roskilde Festival earlier this year, whynow wrote: “As the festival’s tagline proclaims, Roskilde is a smelting pot of ‘music, art, activism, camps and freedom.’
“With its almost staggering level of music and art, it’s a must for anybody wanting to immerse themselves in a creative space for a week.“So, if you can handle sleeping in a tent for eight days right next to 24-hour-party-ready festival goers, Roskilde will certainly not disappoint.”
