Perhaps the coolest of all festivals on the planet (and one of the oldest), Roskilde Music Festival has the credibility, history, and coolness that literally no other festival in the world has.

First, Roskilde was started by two people in their teens back in 1971. That alone makes an interesting start. But it has existed all of these years while being a non-profit supporting ideals like culture and humanity. Wow.

There's also a Roskilde Lounge, which will feature electronic acts from across Europe and stripped-down singer-songwriter performances in a tent for smaller crowds.

Tickets are just €180 Euros / $230 U.S. for a 4 day festival, or you can sell your soul to the work camp to get in for free. All in all it looks like a blast.
