All 80,000 all-week tickets to next year’s Roskilde Festival have now been sold. The remaining one-day tickets will be available for sale in the autumn.

The 50th edition of Roskilde Festival should have taken place this summer, but like other major festivals all over the world it was cancelled because of the Corona pandemic.

Now, festival no. 50 will take place in 2021.

Ticketholders for this year’s festival were given the possibility to transfer their tickets to 2021. 85 % chose to do so.

This Tuesday, when Roskilde Festival started the sale of the refunded all-week tickets, all 12,000 tickets were sold out in just a couple of hours.

This means that 80,000 people have already chosen to show their support for Roskilde Festival by saying yes to the full festival experience with art, music and activism when Roskilde Festival no. 50 takes place from 26 June to 3 July in 2021.

Next year, the festival will celebrate its 50th anniversary.

Roskilde Festival’s spokeswoman, Christina Bilde, says:

„Now that it was not possible to complete the 50th edition of the festival this year, we are thrilled about the massive support our festival-goers have shown us. We had not dared to hope that the tickets would move so fast. Thanks for that!“

„Now the planning of festival number 50 will continue, and we’re looking forward to sharing much more about what will happen. The fact that so many people support us means that we expect to live up to our purpose after the festival in 2021, which is to support children and young people.“

One-day tickets still available

Every year, Roskilde Festival sells 80,000 all-week tickets and 5,000 one-day tickets for Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, respectively.

One-day tickets to Roskilde Festival 2021 will be available for sale this autumn.

Beware of invalid tickets

When Roskilde Festival is sold out, tickets are often sold from unofficial outlets like Viagogo – and often overpriced. If tickets are stolen or lost, ticket numbers can be invalidated. In this way, fraudsters can try to sell tickets that are in fact invalid.

The 50th edition of Roskilde Festival takes place from 26 June to 3 July 2021.

Bücher über L.C.

Leonard Cohen zog sich oft in die Isolation zurück und nahm Musik und Lesematerial aller Art mit. „Jedes Mal, wenn ich eine Zeitschrift in die Hand nehme, lese ich eine herausragende Schrift. Mein Tempo und mein Standpunkt werden ständig von Dingen beeinflusst, auf die ich stoße. Sie rekapitulieren die gesamte Bewegung Ihrer eigenen Kultur. “ Sagte Cohen. Er sah das Lesen als einen Weg des Eskapismus und als wesentlich für die Entwicklung an.

Leonard Cohen’s favourite books:

• The Glass Bead Game (Magister Ludi) by Hermann Hesse
• Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse
• A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce
• Dubliners by James Joyce
• Selected Poems by Irving Layton
• Collected Poems by Federico Garcia Lorca
• I Am That by Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Leonard Cohen often recoiled into isolation, taking with him music and reading material of all forms.  “Every time I pick up a magazine, I read some writing that is distinguished. My pace and viewpoint is being influenced continually by things I come across. You recapitulate the whole movement of your own culture.” Cohen said. He saw reading as a way of escapism and essential for development.
