Wednesday night I attend my second shift at the festival. The work is the same: putting out fires and make sure that nobody jumps the fence in the sector M. The night is so quiet that it becomes tedious. I look forward to the end of my shift - seven in the mornin - to go to sleep Korallen and smuggled into the room 32.
sleep all morning and part of the afternoon, with an intermediate to go to Roskilde to fix some papers and prepare rice with green pepper.
At five in the afternoon of Thursday began what is the festival itself: it's over heating and the music starts. I managed (very relative term it) and pulled to the festival by bike. On the bike, and its possible dramatic end, I will end this post. We arrived at the festival on
six. We parked the bikes and we have a walk around the campus, which is huge. There are thousands of tents covering each parcel of land permitted. There are two lakes, one for fishing and one for swimming, both probably contaminadísimos rust and kebab. There are hundreds of people (mostly men but also some women) lined up on the fence, using it as a urinal. Roskilde Festival is an affront to the senses, including common sense. Drunk people being transported in wagons by drunk people, people sleeping surrounded by their own waste, collectors of cans to earn a living (on today's soil has been collected 270,000 cans, and yet they continue piling up thousands at roadside ), the horizon dotted with banners and banders and, most impressively, a murmur, a background rumble that will make you wonder what is not happening here.
dizzying cross a bridge over the railroad tracks - the festival has its own station - and arrive at a party with more tents, sculptures, graffiti, and panels with information on the environment, yet very securely mounted. We crossed back and head, with the human tide, the area of \u200b\u200bthe festival itself.
The festival area is another huge concourse where there are seven scenarios which are played without pause the different groups. We teach our bracelets, we are throwing a plastic bottle and started to go from stage to stage. Still hear the music of one when you start listening to the other. It is very impressive.
The first scenario we see is the Astoria, where the audience and the band are under the same tent. We have brought 3,400 people. A sign warning light does not stop not allowed "crowd surfing", ie, pulling the crowd. We do not like the music and left. We go to the biggest stage of all: the Orange Stage, the flagship of the festival, very nice. The band performs under the big orange, and the audience (60,000 people) are outdoors. Volbeat playing now, a Danish rock band that took my vein jebi and made me do the horns. The sound was perfect and amazing lighting effects.

Volbeat ended, and left the festival area to take a sandwich to the agora M. Then we returned to the Orange Stage, and we saw the beginning of the concert apotheosis Kanye West, an American rapper to be believed God.
After three or four songs, we went to Arena, another stage with the audience and the band under the same tent (capacity 17,000 people). The Danish group was a very famous, Mew. This concert will swallow us whole, was very good, just exaltadísimos, and the final was very exciting. We left with a river of people as I've ever seen. It was night and returned to Trekroner, cansadísimos.
This morning I played my last shift. I arrived twenty minutes late because I overslept. It was fun, because as the day there are more people wake up and eager to joke and / or / u / and anger. For the first time made use of the apparatus for putting out fires, I used to refresh the face and neck. When finished the turn at three in the afternoon, tragedy, had lost the keys to my bike. I had to walk back (an hour and a half's walk or so). I came to Korallen burned, blistered feet and totally exhausted. I'll follow
counting on the festival and my last days in Denmark, but for now I have to say being an incredible experience and somewhat surreal.
