You have to be 18 years or older to volunteer at this festival.

It is not possible to register in Ruby as long as you are younger than 18 years. 

• Fun, hard, and ‘hyggelige’ days with the rest of the volunteer crew.
• Access to all three days of the festival which ofc. includes lots of concerts, lots of parties, and lots of drinks (btw. you get a discount when volunteering).
• A reusable water bottle.
• Meals while you’re on shift.
• Experience to put on your resume, and a look behind the scenes of one of the biggest music festivals in Denmark.

There are almost 7.000 volunteers in our festival community. A community who is building the festival from scratch. From nothing to everything. All as one – and all for one.

It’s an active choice to sign up to become a volunteer. It’s a professional and personal engagement you offer, hopefully because you want to create something meaningful and consider yourself as a part of what our festival represents.

As a volunteer you commit yourself to the festival, your closest leader, your team and your volunteer colleagues. We count on you and you can count on us.

For the most part you create the best volunteer festival experience yourself. It’s all about attitude and the will to cooperate on many different levels. In return for your effort and big help, we promise to give you something for your resumé, great music, new friends, old friends and much more….

You are “the face” of our festival as a volunteer. It’s therefore important that you, regardless of your assignment, offer our guests great service. To smile and provide a great service – even when busy – is the best tool you have. To make everything work most efficiently, it’s essential that we help each other along the way, and lend each other a hand when needed. Even if the task isn’t part of your original assignment.

An example is that at our festival you are automatically a Trash Hero – no matter which assignment you have. That means that every year  you are a part of beating last years trash sorting percentage.

Ruby is our volunteer system where you sign up to be a volunteer. It’s also in Ruby you’ll find your schedule/shifts, contact information for your team leader, get news and info etc.. 

When you register as volunteer in Ruby you are asked to pay a deposit of 300 DKK 

Notice that these 300 DKK is only a deposit, and you will get them back if you show up to your shifts and comply our terms and conditions.

Unfortunately, we have experienced that some people do not attend their shifts even though they already have accepted the terms and conditions.

When you do not attend your shift, it effects a lot of other people and results in that the other volunteers have to work a lot harder. 

If you show up to all your shifts and do the work, you promised and comply with our terms and conditions you will get the full deposit back. 

You can expect the deposit to be refunded within 14-21 days after the festival. We want to be as quick as possible, but it takes a couple of days for our system to refund all the deposits. 

Note: The deposit will be refunded to the same account as it was received from. Make sure that if you switch bank that you give us your new information as quickly as possible. You can contact us at volunteer@northside.dk

You lose your deposit if you do not attend your shifts or break our terms and conditions. The same goes if you resign after the resign deadline.

If you resign before the resign deadline your deposit will be refunded. 

We are not notified if you resign and we would like to receive an email at volunteer@northside.dk. By doing this we can refund your deposit sooner.  

If you do not notify us, you’ll receive your deposit with the rest of our volunteers 14-21 days after festival. 

You will automatically be asked to pay a deposit when you register in Ruby. 

You risk being charged a fee if you do not comply with the Festival’s Terms and Conditions for volunteers.
The Terms and Conditions include, among other things, attendance for shifts. This means that if you do not complete your shift(s) without proper notification of absence, you’ll get a fee.

If you are absent from all your shifts, the fee is 2,700 DKK.
If you are absent from one of several shifts, the fee is a minimum of 1,500 DKK.

It is your own responsibility to properly notify your absence from a shift and afterwards being able to document it. Read more at “Resign as a volunteer”.

If you have collected your wristband and cancel or do not show up for your shift, you must send a picture of your cut wristband to volunteer@northside.dk with the subject line “cut wristband.” If we do not receive a picture of your cut wristband within 1 hour of your cancellation, you will get a fee of 2,700 DKK. We recommend sending the picture alongside your cancellation.

Cancellations on Saturday and Sunday
If you have collected your wristband and cancel on Saturday or Sunday, the fee is a minimum of 1,500 DKK.
The cut wristband is not enough to avoid a fee. You will, of course, not get a fee if you provide a valid medical certificate alongside your cut wristband.

You can read the Terms and Conditions here.

If you are unable to volunteer at NorthSide, it is important that you cancel properly. Failure to cancel properly may result in a fee.

Resign as a volunteer 48 hours before or during my shift
If you are suddenly unable to participate as a volunteer on your team, your cancellation should be made as a phone call if there are less than two days until your shift. If your Teamleader does not answer the call, you should send a text message. Your cancellation is only properly registered when you receive a response from your Teamleader.
If you didn’t resign correctly, you may incur a fee up to 2,700 DKK.
