Orange Stage, Main stage at Roskilde Festival, Denmark
Description
The Orange Stage is the main performance platform at Roskilde Festival, a large structure with a covered roof that stands prominently across the festival grounds. The open field in front accommodates tens of thousands of spectators distributed across different standing zones.
History
The stage was built in the late 1970s with a roof structure that had previously been used by a major rock band during a touring period. This early setup established the foundation for what would develop at the site over the following decades.
Culture
The stage has been a gathering place where festival-goers experience rock, metal, electronic, and pop performances side by side. Performers who take the stage here leave a mark on the event and create shared memories for tens of thousands of visitors.
Practical
Visitors should prepare for extended standing time and bring appropriate gear for outdoor weather conditions. The different zones are clearly marked, making it straightforward to find a spot with good visibility of the stage.
Did you know?
Following a tragic event in the early 2000s, major safety improvements were implemented to better protect festival-goers. These measures helped make the venue safer and more reliable for hosting large gatherings.
