Dutch Barrier Services (DBS) supplied 1,500m of barriers alongside three new products at Roskilde Festival 2026.

The new products were a Security Walk Way, All Terrain Barrier and Bar Barrier corners. The Security Walk Way was developed as a collaboration between the barrier company and the festival. The previous design was a meter deep, which meant the barrier was further from the stage. The new system takes up the same space as a normal barrier, allowing more space for the audience whilst also giving crew and security the same working area.

The All Terrain Barrier has improved flexibility to follow the terrain, incorporating a bespoke floor plate with two horizontal hinges.

The new Bar Barrier corners created a continuous serving surface with no gaps on the corners, giving an expanded serving area.

Alongside the new products, DBS also installed 1.5m wide Cable Gates in the front stage areas, giving better access routes for the ADA cable ramps.

Stanley Jilesen, DBS senior account manager, says, “Roskilde is a special festival I admire because of their total determination to make it as safe as possible for the public, artists and staff. With 130,000 people on site, effective crowd management and crowd control infrastructure are crucial.

“Our discussions centred around several specific challenges they identified, which were common to many festivals. Roskilde worked with us to overcome them. They visited our design and manufacturing partner and we developed specific products, used for the first time at Roskilde this year. DBS is uniquely positioned to do that as we work so closely with our barrier manufacturers as a neighbour at our HQ.”
