Roskilde Review
vom 22.07.2009

Roskilde Festival 2009 was a big succes. Not only did more than 100.000 people enjoy the perfect summer weather, great music and incredible atmosphere, they also enjoyed more than 1 kilometer of walls full of world class graffiti. Over 100 writers from 10 countries worked as volunteers and did their very best to transform the festival area into one big unique art gallery, pure rock and roll for your eyeballs! And many the festival guests lined up at the popular free graffiti workshop where the Molotow girls handed out free cans and advise. Roskilde Festival is something you have to experience in real life, but if you couldnt make it this year, here is a gallery with lots of photos from the hot summer of 2009... Thanks to everyone that helped make it happen, the writers, the graffiti workers, the festival organisation, the positive media, the sponsors and off course all the happy people in Roskilde. See you in 2010! Enjoy a hundred new photos in our Roskilde section

Roskilde Update #3
vom 05.07.2009

Another update from Roskilde Festival Graffiti Area in Denmark, fresh pieces, hot weather over there and well done productions by artists from all over the world. We plan to do a final interview with the host of that project within the next days and of course upload the final photos of the walls.

Roskilde Festival Graffiti Workshop
vom 01.07.2009

Roskilde Festival and Molotow collaborate together each year to provide a Graffiti Workshop for those attending the festival. Despite the overcast clouds on Day #2, there was an impressive amount of Roskilde go-ers eager to try their hand at spraying. Armed with a mask, 6 cans of Molotow spray paint and creativity, people of all ages came out to the first day of the workshop,  Amy Baker, hailing all the way from Canada, was thrilled with the idea of the creative freespace. When asked what her favourite aspect was, she said "The choice of colours. Molotow provided a fun array of shades that made it really fun to work with. What a great experience this way - to try painting in a legal, welcoming and fun enviroment - I couldnt have asked for a better first time." From 11 am to 6pm, people painted layers upon layers of neverending artwork in various styles. From amateur to professional, the next 4 days at the workshop will be tons of fun for all.

Graffiti celebrates 10 years at Roskilde Festival
vom 26.06.2009

When Bob Marley played at Roskilde Festival in 1978, Talking Heads in 1979, U2 in 1982, Metallica in 1986,Radiohead in 1997 and Snoop Dogg in 2008 (just to mention few among countless artists), Roskilde has again and again demonstrated that this is the place to experience new, sprouting names, contemporary stars and timeless legends. Roskilde Festival has surprised its audience throughout history, and you can prepare yourself to be surprised again. It is not only musical experiences that await the audience when the festival site and its seven music stages open on Thursday 2 July.

This year, graffiti art celebrates its 10-year jubilee at Roskilde Festival. The celebration is carried out with an international lineup of world-class artists such as Swet (DK), Take2 (AUS), Sirum (AUS), Rens (DK), Sek (DK), Slide (GER), Poet (GER), Kacao77 (GER), the TOYS Crew (DK), Inti and Hes (CHILE), Soten (DK), Zombie (DK), MadC (GER) and many many more  who will decorate more than 1000 metres of fence with all kinds of colours, subjects and messages. And Graffiti at Roskilde is not only for the few. If you have a hankering for expressing yourself and are game for taking on spray cans, hand ‘tags’ and painting masks, just show up at Roskilde Festival’s graffiti workshop at Agora B around the skate ramp. From Sunday 28 June to Wednesday 1 July from noon till night, you can be guided and misguided by Roskilde Festival’s graffiti girls.

Plenty of paint has arrived, we will go for regular updates on this here at the Molotow Blog! (Link Roskilde Festival)
