	Roskilde Festival - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		Roskilde Festival is one of the two biggest annual pop music festivals in Europe (the other being the Glastonbury festival).
		In 1973, the festival was taken over by the Roskilde Foundation, who has since run the festival as a non-profit organisation for development and support of music, culture, and humanism.
		The festival is held annually for four days in late June at the Animal Showgrounds (in recent years simply known as the "Festival Site") south of Roskilde, Denmark (a former capital of Denmark).

	Nordic Culture > Roskilde Music Festival, Denmark - Scandinavica.com
		Roskilde Festival's focus is youth culture's musical modes of expressions, and the event concentrates on quality, innovation, and variation, rather than on becoming the biggest or the most established festival -in order to emphasise that Roskilde Festival is a music festival, there are no billboard ads or giant screens with advertising.
		The festival is carried out on the basis of the effort of 20,000 unpaid volunteers, who value the welfare of the audience higher than personal gains, and who always consider the quality, values, and economy of the festival, as well as the safety and well-being of the audience in the festival.
		Roskilde Festival is generally perceived as one of the most caring and safe festivals in the world.

	Storytelling Workcamp on Roskilde
		The culture meeting will take place at Roskilde Festival 2004 because we regard the festival as having unique conditions for creating successful encounters crossing borders and cultures: The artists, organizers and guests of the festival are gathered on a common passion for music and they all carry the same muddy uniform.
		We think that the similarities and differences in between the many, international festival guests are particularly interesting when the culture meeting is between youth of countries with such different conditions as e.g.
		The Balkans have festivals of course, but in a smaller scale, and our hope is to inspire possible participants of the festival business to develop and strengthen the music scene in their country and maybe create the foundation for increased cooperation with the Danish Festival in the future.

		Meetings with the band as well as eyewitness accounts confirmed that Pearl Jam were not aware of the sound problems or the dangers in the crowd and did, in fact, stop their performance as soon as they were informed of them.
