Danish rock festivals – music, kindergartens and condoms

As daddy drinks his beer listening to Irish rock veteran Van Morrison, his two-

year-old daughter plays with an inflatable kangaroo in a huge kindergarten park.

The scene is one of some 30 major Danish rock music festivals, a booming

business and a part of this northern country’s summer lifestyle.

The 1993 season has seen more festivals than ever before, despite the rainiest

weather in recent memory.

Festivals compete by finding their own niches. The Festival of the Whole Family

is the slogan of the Langeland festival on a small island south of writer Hans Christian

Andersen’s home town of Odense.

It gives greying rock afficionados the chance to concentrate on Morrison and

British bass virtuoso Jack Bruce while the kids are let loose in a 5,000 square meter

(54,000 square foot) kindergarten park.

The Roskilde festival, one of Europe’s leading rock extravaganzas, near

Copenhagen drew 80,000 spectators this year and was characterized by organizers as

the most successful ever.

Festival director Leif Skov says the festival, which attracts half of its crowd from

abroad, mainly Sweden and Germany, has reached its spectator limit.

The four-day event offers a wide variety of rock, heavy metal, blues, hip-hop and

more subtle kinds of music.

This year’s big name was Canadian singer and guitarist Neil Young, but few big

stars are invited to the festival which focuses on up-and-coming names.

The Roskilde festival used to have a reputation for drugs, nudity and sex. While

still not a family event the mood of the 1960s is now expressed mainly through casual

but safe sex and the occasional whiff of marijuana.

Danish anti-AIDS organizations offer free condoms at all the major festivals.
