Here's how to get there by train, bus, car or bike, plus entrances and arrival tips. - Author: The Volt Team - Tags: article, Denmark, Roskilde, Festival Guide, For Festival Goers Roskilde Festival's next confirmed edition runs [26 June to 3 July 2027](https://www.roskilde-festival.dk/en?ref=resources.getvolt.dk), and getting there comes down to three real choices from Roskilde Station: a direct festival train to Festival Station, a Nobina shuttle bus to one of the entrances, or a car with a pre-booked parking pass. Here's the practical rundown, plus where to camp, when the gates open and what Volt runs on site. ## How big a trip this actually is Roskilde Festival sits just outside the city of Roskilde, a short regional-train ride from Copenhagen. The festival itself draws more than 130,000 people over eight days, which the festival's own site says briefly makes the site Denmark's fourth-largest city. That scale is exactly why picking the right way in matters: turn up at the wrong entrance or without a parking pass and you lose real time before the music starts. ## Get to Roskilde Station first Almost every route starts at Roskilde Station, a major stop on the Danish rail network with frequent InterCity and regional trains from Copenhagen, Aarhus and the rest of Zealand. Book the trip on [DSB](https://www.dsb.dk/en/?ref=resources.getvolt.dk) or plan the full door-to-door journey on [Rejseplanen](https://www.rejseplanen.dk/?ref=resources.getvolt.dk), Denmark's national journey planner. From Roskilde Station you have three options for the last leg: festival train, shuttle bus, or [taxi](https://web.archive.org/web/20250518100630/https://faq.roskilde-festival.dk/hc/en-gb/articles/27171177501469-Arrival). ## By train: the festival's own shuttle A dedicated festival train runs from Roskilde Station straight to Roskilde Festival Station, which sits next to Camping West, roughly every 20 to 40 minutes. The ride takes a few minutes and a single ticket costs 30 DKK, bought on the platform, according to the [festival's own transport guide](https://www.roskilde-festival.dk/en/news/how-to-get-to-rf26-easily?ref=resources.getvolt.dk). If you want to skip the queue and get in before the general crowd, Early Entry train tickets are sold in advance through the festival's webshop for 80 DKK. This is the route most first-timers should default to: same price as the bus from Roskilde Station, fewer steps, and it drops you right at a named entrance. ## By bus: Nobina shuttles Nobina runs shuttle buses to Entrance East from three starting points, and they run continuously once a bus fills up rather than on a fixed timetable, so budget some slack either side: - **Roskilde Station:** 30 DKK - **Køge Nord Station:** 60 DKK - **Copenhagen Bus Terminal, Dybbølsbro:** 95 DKK Tickets are bought on board, card only, no cash. If you're coming straight from Copenhagen without wanting to change at Roskilde Station, the Dybbølsbro bus is the one-hop option. ## By car: parking, drop-off and EVs If you drive, plan to pre-book. Roskilde runs three paid Park n' Pay zones, East, West and South, sold through the festival's own webshop rather than at the gate. In 2026 that shop opened in early May, so expect a similar spring window for 2027, and confirm the exact date on the festival's own site rather than assuming it repeats to the day. There are also GreenMobility electric shared-car spaces at designated zones if you're arriving on a car-share rather than your own vehicle. Just dropping someone off? Roskilde runs two dedicated zones for that: Drop-off West, on Darupvej, and Drop-off East, on Øde Hastrupvej. Neither is a parking area, so plan to keep moving once you've unloaded. ## By bike Bicycle parking is available at every main entrance, and Roskilde Station to the festival grounds is a rideable distance for anyone happy to cycle with a full pack. It's the cheapest option on this list and skips both the train queue and the shuttle bus fare entirely. ## The entrances, and which camp they lead to Roskilde runs five named entrances: **Entrance East**, **Entrance West**, **Entrance North**, **Entrance South**, and **Entrance Train Station** at Festival Station itself. The one firm pairing the festival publishes is that Entrance Train Station sits right next to Camping West, so if you're arriving by the festival train, that's your camp reference point. For any other entrance, check the official festival map once it's published for your year rather than guessing which camping field it borders, since that detail isn't fixed publicly until closer to the event. ## Camping and check-in Roskilde offers four camping categories, according to the [festival's own site](https://www.roskilde-festival.dk/en/this-is-roskilde?ref=resources.getvolt.dk): Regular Camping, where you pick your own spot, Special Camping (pre-booked pitches), Community Camping for groups with a shared interest, and Volunteer Camping. If you're arriving by caravan or motorcycle, check-in for that camping runs until 22:30, later than general wristband exchange, which closes between 21:00 and 22:00 depending on location. Get there earlier if you want a decent pitch before dark. ## Charging and lockers at Roskilde Volt runs charging and storage at Roskilde: the staffed [Volt Charging Service](https://resources.getvolt.dk/services/charging/) with daily powerbank swaps, hand-in charging if you'd rather drop off your own device, [Event Lockers](https://resources.getvolt.dk/services/lockers/) including Cool Lockers for anything that needs to stay cold, SOUNDBOKS Gen4 battery swaps, and BoogieBeam charger refreshes for camp lighting. See the [Volt Roskilde Festival page](https://resources.getvolt.dk/festivals/roskilde-festival/) for what each service covers. Booking for the 2027 edition opens closer to the event, so check that page or the festival's own site rather than expecting a live booking link this far out. ## Arrival-day checklist - Book your train or bus, or your Park n' Pay pass, before you leave home. None of them are reliably available on the day. - Know which entrance you're heading for, and match it to your camping area on the official map once it's live. - Charge your phone fully before you set off. Once you're through the gate, the Volt Charging Service and hand-in charging cover the rest of the week. - If you're driving, plan your route around Drop-off West or East rather than the parking zones if you're only unloading. - Pack the camping essentials you need for check-in, since the earlier you're pitched, the more of the site you get to enjoy before the music starts. Roskilde is one stop on a longer summer calendar. If you're weighing up which festival to hit first, the [full guide to summer festivals in Denmark](https://resources.getvolt.dk/festivals/summer-festivals-denmark-guide/) lays out dates and sites side by side, and the [Smukfest transport guide](https://resources.getvolt.dk/articles/getting-to-smukfest-2026-transport/) covers the same kind of trip for Skanderborg. ## Frequently asked questions ### When is Roskilde Festival 2027? 26 June to 3 July 2027, confirmed on the festival's own site. ### Is it easy to get to Roskilde Festival without a car?

For the other entrances, check the official festival map for your edition once it's published. ### Can I charge my phone and store my things at Roskilde? Yes.
