VISIONRoskilde Festival wants to do its part in cultivat-ing the blooming creativity that is sprouting on the campsite among the festival’s many amazing campsthis is no easy task, as many factors determine what is possible and where the limitations are in addition to fire and noise considerations that, as a festival, we need to show, the camps that pop up for a week on the fields of the festival are a manifold and colourful bunch with many different needs; needs that sometimes overlap but at other times are in direct opposition the festival is enriched with a gifted and creative crowd of participants who genuinely wish to help create a great festival – not just for themselves but for everyone else too For them it’s not just about having the biggest party, but also about creating the wildest, most powerful and amazing experience for themselves and other festival goers. they want to shed the shackles of normality that are on them the remaining weeks of the year this is an audience that is more than just an audience – they are participants, and as a festival we are well proud and enriched to have them

the roskilde festival camp codex is a collaborative camping guide, which seeks to encourage both festival and festival participants to work together with the opportunities and challenges roskilde festival affords previ-ous years’ camps have been wonderfully innovative and creative – lying as they do somewhere on the border between the mad and the brilliant AT THE SAME TIME, though, there also needs to be room for the more subdued neighbouring camps there also needs to be focus on the fundamental idea of ‘green thinking’ which underpins the whole festival, as well as on a number of very specific and practical game rules that a major international event with 130,000 participants is subject to

To a large extent the codex is based in YOUR needs, ideas and thoughts, and isn’t carved in stone. Rather, it is a process in which together with you we will continuously evaluate, correct and perfect the codex, from year to year. We emphasise dialogue because it’s necessary for us to keep in step in determining what is actually impor-tant to the indefinable “Orange Feeling” that especially Roskilde Festival’s camps guarantee.

roskilde festival’s participants are true experts in camping and creating that special orange feeling at the festival camp codex version 2013 has been developed on the basis of highly qualified input from the festival’s incredibly dedicated participants it’s important that the roskilde festival camp codex evolves and is continu-ously improved, so that every year it can live up to the expectations and rise to the challenges that camp life at the festival presents if you already have any input and ideas for the codex, or if you think that although camping at roskilde festival is already cool, we could make it even cooler “if only ”, please send an e-mail to camp@roskilde-festival com and keep an eye on our website after the festival, as this year we again want to invite You to help evaluate the initiatives taken, thereby contributing to defining the festival’s future

THEcAMP cODEX

the philosophy behind the camp codex:

• Share what you have without expecting anything in return

• Trust that others want the best for you

• lean forward and participate• Keep your eyes open and • your mind free• Play and invite others to join – not just

the ones you know

• Surprise yourself

• meet the challenges in your way with a hug and a smile

some of the items in the guide are concluded with a point called “orange feeling” these are ideas for little extra pieces of pure festival love you can offer but which no-one is expecting from you in addition, you will also find small boxes describing contributions to the camp codex 2013 from fellow festivalgoers

on the following pages we have tried to gather together EVERYTHING you need to know to make your roskilde festi-val experience a really great one we put particular focus on camping and everything that surrounds and supports the main event of enjoying the live music experience We construct the frame - you create the painting, the magic behind the orange feeling, which ultimately of course comes from you please regard this guide as a series of opportunities we are not interested in establishing rules and regulations that do not arise from your needs and which do not help you to have an even cooler festival without your respect and understanding, a rule or standard is not worth the paper it’s written on

roskilde festival’s campsite is huge, and there has to be room for everyone of course, there will be some camping spots that will be particularly popular; however, it’s equally obvious that these areas will not be big enough for every-body to be able to camp in them but look carefully at the festival map we change things around every year and this year there will again be new initiatives around the camping areas so try something new and you may be pleasantly surprised there is room enough for everyone map 2013

ENTRaNcE BOOkINGYou can book the entrance you want to come in by in advance, and this allows us to better organize the capac-ity of each entrance, so that everyone can get in quickly The campsite opens on Saturday 29 June at 18:00. from this point you can come in, set your tent up and get your wristband

don’t worry - there will also be room for your tent, even if you’re not the absolute first one in And remember: no matter which entrance you use, you can set up camp in any area read more on www roskilde-festival dk/practical

caN I RESERVE a SpacE FOR mY TENT aT THE campSITE?As a general rule, it is not possible to reserve a space we have to be fair to everyone there are, however, a few exceptions official ‘green camps’ will be able to reserve a space from where they can spread their good ‘green energy’ similarly, in dream city, it will also be possible to

reserve a space for you and your camp however, if you want to camp here, you are required to make some kind of contribution to life in dream city to reserve a place in dream city, your camp has to contribute something special that in your own unique way makes staying in dream city an even cooler experience perhaps you want to set up a hair salon, so your neighbours can come in and get the hot-test festival hairstyle, or maybe you want to inspire others to achieve a more sustainable festival through theatre and music You’re only limited by what you and your camp’s imagination can come up with

if you and your camp want to become a part of dream city, you need to upload your idea onto www dc roskilde-festival dk/participate in both cases, reservations are subject to practical consid-erations read more about these initiatives in the codex and on www roskilde-festival dk

campING OpTIONSroskilde festival’s campsite is enormous that’s why we have also created havens and diversity so that you can find exactly what matches your camp we have a whole series of different types of camping: Normal, Silent & clean, Get a Tent Uptown, Get a Tent Downtown, Get a place, mc-camp, Sleep-in-busses and caravan.

read more about the camping areas at www roskilde-festival dk/camping/camping_areas/

ORaNGE FEElING

• Help your neighbour pitch their tent – maybe move yours a metre so there’s room for theirs, even if they didn’t show up until four days into the festival and you queued up in your sleeping bag hours and hours to get the best place. This is guaranteed to land you an extra hug and possibly even a new set of friends.

• Invite two neighbouring camps for a beer after hammering in the tent pegs.

the campsite is divided into small areas where the festival goers live, rest, meet and party in the centre of each area is a square – an agora here you can cook, find information in the service towers, get help and hang out As well as having free luggage storage and various booths with food and drink, kiosks, etc , many of the agoras have themes: art city, poor city, Game city, Street city, cinema city, clean Out loud, Swim city and Silent & clean. find more information at www roskilde-festival dk

HOW BIG caN mY camp BE?of course there are no limits to how many people can live in your camp but since the camping area isn’t infinitely large, and a lot of people would like to live as close to the stages as possible, think of your neighbour when you set up your camp’s “communal area.” As one of only very few festivals, roskilde festival has always allowed pavilions and other coverings Although space is tight, because we feel that it makes sense for the camps to have a good com-munal meeting place however, this will only work if you show consideration to each other’s space requirements, also considering how densely packed the area is Although there is no fixed limitations on how big a communal area can be, feel free to use the following rule of thumb:

• max 3 x 3 metres (the size of a normal white pavilion) communal area per 20 inhabitants in the camp

however, the service guards can always limit a communal area if they deem it necessary we need to find space for everyone

YOU aRE WElcOmE TO BRING a paVIlIONthese are forbidden at all other festivals - we know that but we would like to keep the flag flying so you are welcome to bring a marquee tent for your common area - basically one per camp (but see the above rule of thumb, if there are a lot of you) the problem with marquee tents is that they generate a huge amount of waste when they are left on the camping areas help by disposing of broken marquee tents in the garbage trucks, which will be driv-ing around the camping areas each day read more about disposing of waste in the section Nature is your friend.

BUIlDING a camp ROckS!the creativity that many festival goers invest in construct-ing their camp is enormous and part of what makes the festival experience extra diverse and colourful due to space and fire considerations, however, the festival is sub-ject to certain obstructions that we MUST adhere to:

BRING THIS:• normal lightweight camping furniture• folding tables• small beach and folding chairs• camping mats• white pavilions• foam mattresses• banners, flags, decoration, potted plants, weird

sound systems etc Anything you can think of - as long as it is in the category “small, lightweight materials” and you take it home again with you or hand it in to the renovation crew

DON’T BRING THIS:• living room furniture, such as easy chairs, sofas,

coffee tables and dining tables• large construction materials• generators and domestic appliances

Although the passage above can sound like a damper on creativity, there are many possibilities for imaginative installations colours, flags and small installations can brighten up an otherwise drab pavilion, just as light instal-lations can attract people at night, etc be creative within the framework, and think outside the box

tents are allowed for living in but for security reasons they can’t be more than 2 5 metres tall this may sound like very little but because of the great focus on safety it is necessary

THE SERVIcE GUaRD IS YOUR FRIENDthe orange service guards are there to take care of you – all of you not to supervise you or control you or be a pain Although sometimes this means that they have to take on “annoying” jobs like extinguishing mood candles, quieten-ing down a party or moving some tents, they are there for You become friendly with your service tower and go to them if you need help, guidance or just a nice chat

SpONSORS/cOmmERcIal cOllaBORaTORS aND campSroskilde festival is very reluctant about “all that sponsor-ship stuff”, and we prefer to keep the advertising stuff to a minimum we do it only under very strict forms in which a company can only enter if it offers better opportunities and service for the festival goers – and if they enter, it’s expensive, helping to ensure that the ticket price is kept low many companies are sorry about that as they would like to flash their logo to you via flags, balloons and other stuff – so they think, “we can just sneak our way in through a couple of camps that doesn’t cost anything, and we can do what we want ” our response to that is a “no thanks ”if you can score something for your camp from a good friend, mum’s company or somewhere else, that’s just fine – but don’t do samples, advertising, flags, banners etc if your local booze company or your cousin’s neighbour’s dad’s worldwide conglomerate wants to participate, refer them to us so that everyone benefits

a SHORT NOTE FROm YOUR FEllOW campERS:

“Borrowing” things is not okay – even if it’s for a laugh. people are genuinely upset to have their palms and rubber din-ghies stolen.

THE GOlDEN TEEpEE RUlE

Exception: We love tepees, so if you wish to bring yours to the festival, you can, as long as it is primarily used for sleeping in and has a max height of 4 metres.

ORaNGE FEElING

• leave the area like you found it. Bring home the things you took to the site, throw them out or hand them in for recycling – e.g. pavilions and car batteries.

• Give a hug to a passing orange service guard.

embrace the festival with open arms and join in! roskilde festival is a huge playground where you can make camp-ing a fantastic experience - with both old and new friends it is the world’s best opportunity to make the most brilliant, whacky and innovative camp possible one of the coolest things about camp life at the festival is when you invite other festival participants into your camp - and there is am-ple opportunity to do this at the festival, both in a modest, low-key way and on a more ambitious scale here are just a few of the initiatives that your camp can be a part of if you want to contribute by sharing what you’re good at with masses of other festival participants:

camp OF THE YEaReach year thousands of camps fill the camping areas with parties, creative activities, fun games, crazy traditions, weird themes, bizarre costumes and love All the camps are cool but only one can boast the honorary title of “camp of the Year” this year the game will change, as we aim to give the power back to you festies, when daily winners will be chosen by a new theme each day:

Mondayearly bird camp – the camp that hit the festival running and makes the festival a nice place for everybody to be from day one

Tuesday sustainability camp – the greenest camp on roskilde fes-tival being green is not just about solar energy, but innova-tive ways of keeping it green and making others joining the fun is also a factor

Wednesday community camp – the camp that does the most for the camping community by making events and being the best neighbours

Thursday party camp – the camp that throws the best and most unforgettable parties

Friday theme camp – the camp with the best, most elaborate and innovative theme

each day of the festival the panel of competent camp ex-

perts will visit the camps signed up for the competition and nominate three camps, that will meet on the field of honour to determine who is the best party camp, early bird camp, sustainability camp, theme camp and community camp

on saturday all camps that has been nominated as a daily winner will meet up and throw their vote as to which of the daily winners they think is roskilde festival camp of the Year ‘13

the winning camp will not only have pride in the honour-able title of ‘camp of the Year’ they receive six tickets to roskilde festival 2014 and a unique camp of the Year t-shirts and on top of this a specially designed trophy made from orange canvas from the very first orange stage and with the previous winners engraved on it: where is the love (2006), den svedig Kalkun (2007), topgun camp (2008), camp find holger (2009), camp crazy legs (2010 and 2011) and camp burt reynolds (2012) enter the competition here: http://roskilde-festival dk/news/singlenews/sign-up-for-camp-of-the-year-now/

camp EVENT calENDaR - YOUR acTIVITIES IN THE OFFIcIal approskilde festival is packed with rich and exciting experi-ences Just as important as the music programme and the many other activities roskilde festival arranges are the spontaneous and creative events that the festival participants themselves organize this can take the form of anything from parties and an underground circus to the olympics, parades, and so on

the roskilde festival app allows you to create your own events and find other festival participants’ events by marking an event as a ‘favourite’ event, it will automati-cally be moved into your personal “my roskilde” calendar: a second element of the app, which keeps track of all your many activities during the festival, whether it’s a concert or a huge festival-goer-created flash mob on the camp-site even when the app is offline, it will still be possible to create new events and see newly created events that way you are always up to speed on the coolest festival-goer events Also it provides you with all sorts of practical information, maps and schedules find the the official festival app at google play or App store or by sending an sms where you write rf App to 1204 (dK) or +45 4240 9019 (int )

on the other hand, homemade flyers, facebook groups, banners and colourful lighting installations still function perfectly well

GREEN campSYou and your camp can improve the waste collection at the festival and spread the word about sustainability and green consciousness All you need to do is to have a concept for your camp that puts focus on the waste issues in a way that inspires others to help keep the festival clean

we encourage artistic freedom, although certain dogma must be adhered to in order to qualify as green camps:

• Keep your camp clean and leave your campsite as-squeaky clean as you found it

• create activities during the festival that reflects your green thinking

• make the fact that your camp is a green camp visible and obvious

• have fun – it is roskilde festival after all

green camps can be found in the clean Areas in area b, e, K, J and m, and as a green camper you are able to reserve a space in one of these areas we hope that as many people as possible will pick up on the good green energy feeling that the green camps will spread

As a green camp, your green initiatives will be covered by the festival’s media - so it is important to show how cool it is to be green

You can read more about green camps on www facebook com/greenfootsteps

we are sorry to spend oceans of time and money – which we have to move from cool events and music – on cleaning up and collecting and getting rid of all the rubbish after-wards unfortunately, rubbish is still a sad final image of a roskilde festival in some of the camping areas for instance, only about half the tents are brought home again, and this cre-ates piles of trash And so we really hope that your camp will lend a hand it’s done in two shakes of a lamb’s tail if each camp does their little bit help the festival and clean up your own camp be-fore leaving the area, and use either the available contain-ers for residual waste or donate your camping gear to the organisations that are collecting

DISpOSING OF YOUR RUBBISH qUIcklY aND EaSIlY we believe it should be easy to get rid of your rubbish that is why this year there will be even more garbage trucks, which will drive around the camping area each and every day so you can quickly and easily get rid of your garbage You can also, at any time, dispose of your garbage by the towers, where containers have been installed in addition, you can get red garbage bags for use in camp at the tow-ers

lESS mETalmetal and batteries left behind after you go home can contribute to destroying our beautiful campsite so do the

environment a favour and dispose of your used batteries, your broken radio or torch and your metal waste (tin cans, etc ) by giving them to the very nice collectors who will be going around the camping area collecting this kind of waste You are also more than welcome to return used bat-teries in the cloakrooms or by the towers car batteries can be returned at g, l, e or p

mOBIlE TRaSH caNS in the struggle to eliminate garbage from the campsite, this year there will be 11 orange garbage trucks that will drive around the camping areas each area will have its own truck, which will drive around their designated area everyday from 8 Am to 6 pm, with garbage workers and those in charge of the towers working together to find out where they are most needed

the garbage trucks are your mobile trash cans, making it easy for you to get rid of rubbish and broken tents, mar-quees, camping chairs, etc , which will be sorted by the containers

clEaN aREaSArea b, e, J, K and m are particularly clean areas we have been putting up extra bins and containers, so it’s easier for you to get rid of your waste

music and sound are a large part of the festival experience both the kind that emanates from the stages and the kind that uplifts the parties from colourful sound systems to put it plainly: expect the campsite to be full of parties, madness and sound pretty much 24-7 probably espe-cially when you want to sleep and especially from the neighbour camp that is already being a pain At the same time you can be sure that there are loads of people around you in the dead of night who wish to sleep when you want to have a party

• if you like to sleep well, remember to bring earplugs or to set up your camp in Area J (silent & clean), which is a special camping area that is aimed at being both cleaner and quieter at night – so without noisy parties and loud music

• if you like to party, then try to avoid doing so in the same spot every night over the entire week create some breathing spaces

HOmEBUIlT SOUND SYSTEmS aRE amazINGeach year sees more and more unique sound systems at the festival with wheels, without wheels, colourful, transparent, gigantic, furry, coffin shaped, drink brewing or in other ways unique sound systems it’s creative, and it’s Awesome! At the same time it attracts people to the party and creates a place to be

however, in recent years we have seen a trend for the sound systems in the camping areas to play louder and louder, while the parties in the camping area increase in number that last bit is super cool, but it can end up in a spiral of noise which ultimately can annoy both festival goers and the festival’s neighbours – and as we now are blessed with great understanding from our neighbours, we would like to show extra consideration to them After all,

they have to listen to us for many years to come instead of waving an admonishing finger at you, we’d much rather suggest that you too think of other things than “up to 11” when building your system break free and tweak the other features for instance:

• build the craziest theme around the sound system• turn it into a machine that can produce drinks, that you

can play games on, that can fly or is filled with festival survival gear

• pimp it up with lights (lights attracts people)• make the best playlist• construct the festival’s most energy friendly system• etc

FacTS FOR NERDSmeasured over 5 minutes, the sound level of the music must not exceed 84 db (depending on local conditions and the nearest houses) between midnight and 08:00 in the period saturday 29 June to wednesday 3 July from thursday 4 July to sunday 7 July, it must not exceed 84 db (depending on local conditions and the nearest houses) between 04:00 and 08:00 At all other times, the music level may not exceed 94 db (depending on local conditions and the nearest houses)

caN I DRaG mY BaND INTO THE campING aREa aND plaY a FEW TRackS?of course you can, as long as it’s on the camping area’s terms and they have a ticket skip the stage and the sound equipment – bring it acoustically with a focus on having a good time many people gathered in one spot on the camp-site just results in knocked-over tents, people whom trip over tent pegs and much too few drinks so instead, think in small pop-up performances which give five norwegians, an Australian and four swedes a musical experience they’ll never forget

00.00 - 08.00 84 db 04.00 - 08.00 84 db

all other times 94 db 94 db

NOTE

Rubbish is actually what constitutes the greatest fire hazard on the campsite. The tents just melt if they catch fire.

ORaNGE FEElING

• If your neighbour camp is capsized in rubbish and chaos, help them get it back on its feet again. They might offer a dance and a beer.

• If you smoke, use a pocket ashtray. It takes forever to pick up all those millions of butts that each year are stubbed out on the green fields of the festival – because they all have to be picked up, and by hand, one by one.

• Donate your sleeping bag or camping gear to a homeless person at one of the festival’s camp aid collection points. These are open Sunday 7/7 and monday 8/7 at all towers and by the East and West Exits.

There is very little electric power in a field, but after all we are on a journey together to the festival’s promised land seeking both fun and challenges therefore, one goal of every camp is to create a cool site without the use of elec-tricity And yet

GETTING ONlINEYou can check your email or what band there will be play-ing when online at the camping area You just have to go to one of the wifi-hotspots located at: citYcentre east/west, dream city, all agoras, the oval, sonic Zone, trade Zone, and urban Zone (see map)

if you haven’t brought your smart phone or tablet you can visit the internet cafe located in the pavilion area at gate 10 it’s free and the café is open all days during the festival from 12:00 to 22:00

mORE mOBIlE TElEpHONE maSTS aND BETTER NETWORkwe also collaborate with all the major telephone compa-nies about optimising and expanding the mobile phone coverage in the area this means more phone masts and a faster and more stable network

BaTTERIESOf course it’s ok to bring car batteries or other battery equipment to get you through the day if your creativity re-ally doesn’t run to solar cells or muscle power. but beware! car batteries are filled with acid and must be handled with care You can recharge your car batteries with us. it costs dKK 150 and also requires that you pay a deposit of dKK 250 on the first charge when the festival ends, you can choose either to take the battery home with you or return it with the accompanying receipt and get the dKK 250 deposit back car batteries just left on the field can pollute groundwater, flora, etc

WHERE?car batteries and the like may be recharged (or renovated) in cITY center East and West, agora G and agora l. charg-ers are not required mobile phones and other small items may be recharged in all cloakrooms (price dKK 10) - remember to bring your own charger You can also get a special volt battery at the volt booths or charge for free at the “3” stand located in the Apollo area

• Surprise your neighbours by playing a song you know they’ll like, instead of driving them insane in your record attempt to play the same track 1001 times before the end of the festival.

Yell at the top of your voice when you hear the “skoooooaaal!!!” shout rippling across the campsite (a thing everyone should hope to experience).

ORaNGE FEElING

• If you have a clever little gadget that can generate electricity from the sun, rain, pee or beer – then offer to share a little of it with your neighbour.

• Beer wrapped in a wet newspaper and then placed in the baking Roskilde sun has always been one of the most effec-tive ways to cool beer – but it can always be refined even further…

there is nothing greater than inviting your neighbour camp over for brunch, a meal that can easily last all day and night the festival has a tremendous selection of food but it’s still great to act the master chef and invite 12 different nationalities to a christmas dinner, or just the meanest festival pot of spaghetti it’s just that among the tents there isn’t much room for the field kitchen and the blender – and a camping stove in the tent is a no-go as it cremates both the tent, the sleeping bag and the hairs on your arm therefore we have made “cooking areas” at each agora. here is a communal bar-becue and ample space for your sublime chef’s camping stove set-up And it’s the world’s best opportunity to share a meal with the neighbour camp you still don’t know You can bring all the food you want, and we have a super-market there so you can buy your own ingredients

so remember to locate the cooking areas and be careful with any form of fire we have been allowed to pack the tents like sardines but that’s why any form of open fire is referred to the cooking areas – both candles, camping stoves and flamethrowers

RULE NUMBER 1

ANY use of open fire outside of the marked areas are ABSOLUTELY PROHIBITED and EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. A patch of tents can burn to the ground in no time.

DRINkS?You are welcome to drink your own beverages in the camp-ing areas. but we would also like to encourage a spirit of share and share alike so, as drinks tend to come in pack-aging, we have introduced an ingenious deposit system You can either go to a deposit booth yourself or help bring democracy to the third world by donating your re fund to care’s collectors – you’ll know them by their turquoise waistcoats, and they’ll be waiting for at gate 6 (Arena), 10 (pavilion) and 19 (odeon) care’s profits will among other things go to financing micro loans to wom en in third world countries, and here, even a single bottle will make a differ-ence

unfortunately, poverty and inequality can be found everywhere, and all around us there are people with very little or no income as they try to scrimp and scrape their way through life for them the deposit system at roskilde festival is a godsend - which means that deposit collec-tors from, for example, north Africa or the poorest parts of europe or Asia can easily collect deposits equivalent to a month’s wages during the festival they need it and your deposit will help put bread on their table so please help them make sure your camp gives them a warm welcome, and overlook anything you might find slightly annoying; instead, have a good, friendly chat with your local deposit collector. there are enough battlegrounds and hatred in the world already - let us avoid them at roskilde festival

• Help a Roma and other poor people with a smile - and the deposit from the party the night before.
