Roskilde Festival invests 30 million in Orange Scene upgrade

Roskilde Festival is investing 30 million in upgrading the Orange Stage

Roskilde Festival is planning a comprehensive upgrade of their famous Orange Stage, ensuring better space and opportunities for large artist performances. According to Politiken, the festival will invest 30 million Danish Kroner in the project, which requires a new tent and a larger stage.

The program director for Roskilde Festival, Anders Wahrén, told the newspaper that the new stage should be able to handle the advanced stage shows that many big artists bring to their concerts in Europe. This includes greater width, height, and depth, as well as increased load-bearing capacity to support heavy screens and complex lighting setups.

Previously, Roskilde Festival had to scale down some of the biggest shows due to lack of space on the Orange Stage. For example, the Spanish superstar Rosalía had to perform on the smaller Arena stage because the ceiling height on the Orange Stage was not sufficient.

Wahrén explained that many artists bring large stage shows with elements like inflatable figures and stairs, which require more space. Although festival-goers may not immediately notice the changes in the stage size, the new stage will be able to accommodate larger screens, more light, and higher scenic elements. The stage floor height will remain unchanged, but there will be better visibility from the sides.

The final concert on the current Orange Stage will be played by the American artist SZA on July 6th. What will happen to the current stage has not been decided yet, but a brainstorming session is underway to figure this out.

The Orange Stage has a long history and has previously belonged to The Rolling Stones before finding its place at the Roskilde Showgrounds in Roskilde.
