For 2025’s festival season, it all comes down to three heavyweights: Tomorrowland, Roskilde and Ultra.
Europe Music Festival #1 – TOMORROWLAND

#2 – Roskilde
Denmark’s Culture Trip That ACTUALLY Slaps
Eight days. Over 130 acts. One giant orange tent. Roskilde is part music festival, part social experiment. It’s a non-profit, volunteer driven project, and full of purpose. You’ll go from a feminist punk band in the morning to SZA in the evening, with silent discos and the kind of conversations that change you, in between.
- Where is Roskilde 2025 happening? Roskilde, Denmark. About 35 km from Copenhagen.
- When is Roskilde 2025? 28 June to 5 July 2025. A full week of absolute music madness.
- How far is Roskilde from Copenhagen Airport? Roughly 45 minutes by train.
- How big is the Roskilde festival in Europe? Humongous. Over 130,000 people. It’s basically a temporary city.
- Do South Africans really go to Roskilde? Absolutely. If you can survive a Kimberly’s dust storms, you can handle Denmark in July.
