*UPDATE: COMPETITION CLOSED*

Roskilde  Festival 2007

The Roskilde Festival is coming! Europe’s largest rock festival will be held this year from 5-8 July in the Danish town of Roskilde, featuring over 160 incredible bands and artists and a wealth of other exciting entertainments.

Björk, the Arctic Monkeys, the Killers, Basement Jaxx, My Chemical Romance, the Beastie Boys, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Tiësto – these are just a smattering of the big names you’ll see at this year’s festival…

Tickets for this weekend festival normally cost 200 Euros each – perhaps a bit steep for the average shoestring traveller’s budget – but we busy bees have managed to score two free tickets for one of you rock-loving backpackers out there – that’s a whopping 400 Euros’ worth of free stuff!

To stand in line to win these two tickets you’ll need to be a subscriber of our monthly travel newsletter, ‘From The Road’. If you’re not already subscribed get yourself here and sign up (you can always unsubscribe afterwards – if you must).

Then, answer the questions below and send us your answers before 25 May 2007.

  1. True or False: Camping is free with a festival ticket? (hint)
  2. In which year was the Roskilde Festival first held? (hint)
  3. On what date does the official ‘warm up’ for the festival begin? (hint)

Good luck!

The fine print: this competition is for festival tickets only, and does not include any transport to or from the festival. Entries close 25 May 2007
