Roskilde Festival 2009 was held on 2–5 July with warmup from 28 June. The final and 180th act was announced on 15 June.

Sales

The audience kept an eye on the weather forecasts before making up their mind to go or not. In any case, the ticket sale stats showed themselves from a somewhat unpredictable side, and it was difficult to tell how large an audience to expect at Roskilde Festival 2009. When the festival was about to begin, rumours said that about 60,000 of 75,000 tickets were sold. However, it turned out that many more people wanted to take part in the festival. 67,000 all-week tickets were sold, and a new initiative – one-day tickets – were sold to over 12,000 people on top of this. Despite a non-sold-out festival, accounts showed a nice profit. In 2010 Roskilde Festival could proudly present an overall profit of 2.7 million euro from the 2009th festival, which is the best economic result in the festival's 39-year-old existence. The profits were distributed to charitable and cultural projects in accordance with the society’s objects clause.

Weather

Roskilde Festival 2009 was the hottest in 33 years according to the festival newspaper Orange Press.

Orange stage was opened by Swedish rapper Petter, who had prominent visitors on stage such as Dee Pee from Rockers by Choice and L.O.C., who was on Orange stage for the third year running (featuring on Nephew's Hospital in 2007, and his own concert in 2008). Petter has been called a failure for this concert, because he was not able to get a full crowd, and the opening of Orange has to be big. Nine Inch Nails played at Orange Stage Friday night at 01.00am - 03.00am and gave what several Danish newspapers called "the best concert of Roskilde '09". Nine Inch Nails were on "Wave Goodbye" tour. Roskilde '09 also meant the anticipated return of the Danish hip-hop group Malk de Koijn, who played a 2-hour concert the night between Saturday and Sunday at Arena, and a big party-atmosphere at Orange Stage Thursday night, when
