You can both buy a Partout ticket, which gives you access to the entire festival, but you can also just buy a ticket for a specific day, when your favorite artist, for example, performs. The festival's organizers have created different areas for tent setting up, where you can choose based on what you are most into - whether it should be the more luxurious camping experience, tent or something completely different.

Both Danish and foreign names come and perform at the renowned festival, and the concerts take place up in a beautiful forest area, which only makes the atmosphere even better!
