message: I personally find the image  displays Roskilde Festival very well, and I believe the image in the template should be substituted for this. Anyone in favour? — Lasse Havelund (p · t · c) 17:53, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

message: "During Pearl Jam's concert at the Orange Stage in 2000, a violent accident occurred. Nine people died in front of the stage. The exact conditions as to how they died have been examined by both the police and the public prosecutor and at subsequent civil trials - the conclusion of these determines that it was an accident. Many people fell down, which often happens at big concerts, but at one place they did not get up again. Some crowdsurfers fell into this "hole" and are believed to have been factors of the event turning wrong (crowdsurfing was subsequently forbidden across most of Europe). The people at the bottom died of suffocation. When the security guards in front of the stage got to the area after the music had been stopped it was too late. In the following year, the accident led to massive changes with regards to safety to avoid similar situations - not just at Roskilde Festival, the security conditions for festivals everywhere in Europe changed. Before the accident in 2000, Roskilde Festival was considered one of the safest festivals, and yet the accident happened there. Many other festivals have smaller safety systems than Roskilde Festival and revised their procedures even further. For instance, Glastonbury Festival in England chose to cancel its festival in 2001 to have enough time to reorganize the safety planning since the festival in 2000 was not at all at level with Roskilde Festival. Each year Roskilde Festival makes an extensive health and safety assessment which the festival is executed on the basis of. The accident at the Orange Stage led to the construction of a memorial grove with a stone with the inscription "How fragile we are" surrounded by nine trees."
Seriously, this bit needs cleanup. --Flashflash; 10:39, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Categories? 

message: There are no sources indicated for these numbers, and they're rather arbitrary. 1994 had 90,000 paying guests and so did 1995. But they're listed as "90,000" and "111,000" respectively. Seems some years include volunteers while others don't - some may also include media workers and artists. The question is, which number is most relevant to the article.

thread_title:  Number of guests each year needs cleanup 

message: I was an eyewitness and very close to what was happening. An important reason for the deaths were the "wavebreaker railings" which turned out to be dangerous obstacles where people were almost crushed against them by the crowd in the back. In order not to be squeezed into unconsciousness or bonebreaking, some people tried to crawl over and under these wavebreakers towards the front to avoid the pressure from behind. Some of them fell into people in front of them; this is how the "holes" happened. No crowdsurfing into the "holes" happened. People in the "holes" were on the ground and being squeezed to death by the crowd pushing from behind who had the impression that all of a sudden there was more space in the front. Crowdsurfing has not been outlawed after that incident in all of Europe. All these facts can be researched in the Danish press.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.157.62.86 (talk) 13:07, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
