When the independent, non-profit festival kicks off in just two months, it will be with major additions to the festival city. The festival participants can look forward to two new music stages, Fauna and Lagune, a new and larger main stage, Orange Stage, and a cinema simply named Cinema.

Oscar-winners, documentary films, and vampire classics
Film festival hits, cult classics, and vampire films are just a small selection of what is on the programme at Roskilde Festival's new cinema, developed in collaboration with Roskilde Festival Højskole. Highlights include the Oscar-winning Sentimental Value, the mini-documentary Why Spotify's CEO Is Worth Billions While Musicians Make Pennies, and the documentary Christiania, which-after 50 years of big dreams, cannabis, and anarchy-takes stock of one of the world's largest social experiments: the Danish freetown Christiania in Copenhagen.

At midnight, the Danish Film School presents thrills and chills with screenings of vampire classics, including Sinners, which, with four Academy Awards and a total of 16 nominations, is the most nominated film in history.

There will also be plenty of opportunities to go behind the scenes and discuss the films and the issues they explore, with talks, performances, and debates following each screening.

The programme for Cinema is curated by Roskilde Festival and Roskilde Festival Højskole, in collaboration with CPH:DOX, the European Parliament, The Why Foundation, RoskildeBio, and the Danish Film School.

"We're very excited to introduce a cinema at Roskilde Festival. It's been 13 years since the festival last featured a cinema, and Cinema will be an entirely new format, presenting films that focus on current issues and debates that engage festival participants in conversation. At the same time, it offers a space to unwind if you need a break from the festivities and camp life", says Signe Brink Wehl, Roskilde Festival's Director of Art.

Cinema will screen a total of 15 films.

Two new stages and a larger main stage
Fauna and Lagune are the names of the two new music stages that will be introduced at the festival this summer.

Fauna will be a covered tent stage and a calm oasis among the trees, offering space for intimacy and close-up concert experiences.

Lagune is both Fauna's counterpart and partner. Inspired by the depth and movement of water, it will showcase more energetic music. During the first days of the festival, Lagune will be a home for emerging Nordic artists, while later, during the last days, festival participants will experience an expanded stage featuring a broad selection of artists from around the world.

A new version of the iconic main stage, Orange Stage, will also be inaugurated. The new main stage retains its familiar design with orange tent fabric and tall arches but is larger in size, offering new possibilities for large-scale productions and visual concert elements.

"Roskilde Festival is constantly evolving-we are always on the lookout for new expressions and trends. This is also reflected in how we develop the festival city, and this year we are making significant changes to our stages. With Fauna and Lagune, we gain new opportunities to work with scenography, create intimate spaces, and incorporate the surrounding nature. And the new, larger Orange Stage provides entirely new frameworks for experimenting with sound and light, as well as the opportunity to present larger productions with many different elements", says Thomas Sønderby Jepsen, Roskilde Festival's Head of Music.

Soon, Roskilde Festival will announce the final names for this summer's programme, as well as the schedule showing who will perform across the festival's 16 stages and festival venues.

Roskilde Festival 2026 will take place from 27 June to 4 July 2026.
