When you volunteer at Volt, you become part of a large community of people who share a passion for festivals. We're a crew of festival lovers from all over the country – and many of us keep coming back year after year.

Quick answers to the most important questions
Do you have a question? We've (maybe) already got the answer! Check out the most frequently asked questions here – and if you're still in doubt, drop us a line. We're happy to help.
Go to volunteer.getvolt.dk and create a profile. Once you've created your profile, a pop-up will appear with a 'Waitlist'. It's important that you accept this by clicking 'confirm' in the bottom right corner.
If you're signing up with friends: you each need to create your own individual profile as they are personal. It's a good idea to do it at the same time so you end up next to each other on the waitlist – this increases your chances of getting shifts together. Accepting the waitlist is an essential step, as we won't receive your application otherwise.
When? Booking opens no later than 3 weeks before the festival. Once your festival has announced the full music programme with set times, you'll receive an email where you can select your shifts. You'll get a heads-up by email at least 24 hours before we open shift booking so you can be ready to book the package that suits you best. Booking is first come, first served.
How? A package solution you choose yourself on volunteer.getvolt.dk. All shifts are divided into shift packages. You choose from available packages. You cannot swap shifts. You can book the same shift package and location as your friend so you can work together. If you're more than 3 friends, we recommend splitting into groups and choosing the same package in different locations – that way you work and have time off at the same time.
The deposit is our guarantee that you'll show up for your shifts. The deposit is refunded after the festival if you attended all your shifts. You can cancel and get your deposit back up to one month before the festival. Cancellations must be sent to volunteer@getvolt.dk.
More information about this will be sent by email as we get closer to the festival.

The little things – important details
Volunteering at Volt is not like anywhere else. We keep people connected and enhance the festival experience by offering festival services that eliminate worries about running out of power and warm drinks. Volt is a community of festival lovers – and many come back to Volt year after year to share the festival feeling, create memories and reunite with festival friends from all over the country.
You'll: spread good vibes and deliver great service, swap Volt batteries, swap Soundboks batteries, assist at lockers and cool lockers, and have a blast. We serve thousands of customers, so you need to be service-minded and love chatting with happy festival guests. Our concept is simple: customers who have rented one of our services will pick it up at one of our booths, swap it according to their agreement, and return it at the end of the festival.
At Volt we always follow the festival's own guidelines for how much a volunteer should work. It varies from festival to festival:
Jelling Musikfestival: 2 shifts of 6 hours
Heartland: 2 shifts of 6 hours
Copenhell: 2 shifts of 9 hours
Roskilde Festival: 4 shifts of 8 hours (3 shifts of 8 hours if during the music days)
Smukfest: 3 shifts of 8 hours
We're looking for people who match the following: you have a positive attitude and always smile. After a night out, you're always the first one up – annoyingly never seeming hungover, or at least knowing how to ignore it. You're always 5 minutes early. If anyone ever needs help, you're always ready to give a hand.
We also hope that you love the festival atmosphere and want to share it with us and all our customers. If you've been to a festival before, that's definitely a plus – but if not, don't worry. We'll teach you the ins and outs of festival life and look after you!
You'll join a fantastic community of like-minded people who love festivals and all the fun they bring. Many volunteers come back year after year to catch up with cross-country festival friends and grow into team leaders and area managers.
On top of the social side, you also get: a festival wristband with full access to the entire festival, a Volt charger and free charging service during the festival (and yes, you keep the charger after the festival), and free snacks and drinks on your shift.
Other questions – everything else you want to know
Yes. You need to bring your own tent, sleeping mat, and similar gear.
For your shift, you'll be given a Volt t-shirt and cap/bucket hat to wear. For everything else, find inspiration in packing lists online – pack for a festival!
Dear parents. In recent years we've received many questions from parents who are perhaps sending their child off to their very first festival, or a bigger festival than they've been to before. So here are answers to the most common questions from parents over the years.
Accommodation: Most people sleep in tents they bring themselves. At some festivals you can rent equipment on-site. At several festivals there is a volunteer camp which tends to be quieter at night. It's up to the volunteer whether they want to stay there or with the other guests.
Working hours: How much volunteers work depends on the specific festival – see above. We naturally follow all applicable rules on rest periods, and volunteers under 18 may not work between midnight and 6am.
Information: All volunteers have a profile at volunteer.getvolt.dk where we continuously post updates and information. Shift packages are also booked there.
Supervision: We don't supervise the areas where volunteers stay or monitor them when they're off shift. We are experienced festival-goers ourselves, and if anyone needs help they can always call our volunteer phone line. We do what we can to make sure everyone has a great experience. We know it can be tough at a festival – especially the first time! In all camping areas there are always wardens and social workers in vests who can help if needed.
Medical help: There are always skilled first aiders ready to help if something goes wrong. We cannot force anyone to see a first aider, but we strongly encourage it if a volunteer calls us and is unsure. Emergency contact details are collected during registration, and we will call you if something happens.
