Copenhagen Rocks

By Linda Tancs

Roskilde Festival is the largest North European culture and music festival since 1971.  From 30 June to 8 July Roskilde will be the new Woodstock, offering beginner and experienced festival goer alike the opportunity to eat, sleep and jam under a lingering summer lighted sky outside Copenhagen.   The lineup is always spectacular, and this year is no different, with acts like Björk, The Cure, Springsteen, Dr. John and a host of Danish bands.  All profits from Roskilde Festival are donated to humanitarian and cultural work.  Get there via train from Copenhagen airport to  Central Station and switch to a train that leaves for Roskilde.  Direct shuttle buses and trains departing from Roskilde station will get you to the field.
