Roskilde lies 36 km (22 miles) southwest of Copenhagen, which is the nearest airport.
Roskilde Festival's food stalls are a far cry from the ubiquitous junk food generally offered on the festival circuit.
Roskilde is the granddaddy of Europe's rock festivals, hatched in 1971 and consistently drawing the world's best and most innovative rock and pop acts ever since.
First you take the airport train to Copenhagen central station ("Københavns Hovedbanegård" or just "København H") and from there the S-train, line E towards Køge.
By regional or inter-city train to Roskilde station.
By taxi directly from the airport is a 30 km ride (expensive).

Every year (or so), there's an airshow at Roskildeairport (RKE), and every year, SAS donates an aircraft for display.
We made a right hand turn and headed north, aiming for Køge, which is just a few miles from RKE, where we would then go even lower and proceeding with a flypast at RKE before landing.
In fact I was rather disappointed with the amount of advertising that RKE did.
