Organiser's of last weekend's Roskilde festival have said this year's proceedings were hugely successful - and like Michael Eavis a week earlier they were heard on at least one occasion to use the words "best yet". Talking to reporters yesterday a spokesman for the festival said: "The general audience consensus, in the festival's experience, has been thumbs up all the way through. Despite the mud, the concerts drew extremely large crowds. A few highlights bear particular mention: Korn, who supported Roskilde Festival's humanitarian focus 'Make Peace, Not Walls' by signing the wall, and playing a cover of "Another Brick in The Wall." The Royal Opera, who brought even hardcore metal rockers to tears. Fatboy Slim, who was so wild about the alternative mid-crowd stage-setup that he's considering making it a permanent fixture of his live shows. And Morrissey who claimed it was his best festival job in Europe ever".
The whole major incident of the weekend was the death of one Swedish festival goer, who was found unconscious in his tent and declared dead at the onsite hospital. Police have not released details of the cause of the festival goer's death, but say there are no indications that any crime occurred.
