Occasionally, there is an overlap of sound from two stages, where the audience at one stage is bothered by music from another nearby stage. This is especially a challenge, when loud music is played at Orange, while there is an acoustic concert at Pavilion.
A number of measurements of the sound levels between Orange and Pavilion will be carried out during the festival, in order to establish the current impact on the listening experience between the two stages. The measurements will be used for developing a mathematical model of the acoustical conditions between the two stages, which in turn can be used to simulate different scenarios during the festival, as well as solutions to remedy adverse acoustics.
In the future, such a model can be useful for the Roskilde Festival to guide scheduling of bands, ad hoc corrections of unfavorable sound levels, and adjustments of physical conditions, to ultimately offer a better concert experience to the audiences.
