Without volunteers – there would be no Urkult! Every year, around 600 volunteers work together to create and run a fantastic festival. Urkult is a festival that is entirely run by people who work voluntary and who are passionate about the festival, and some work with the festival voluntarily all year round.

As a volunteer, you work either 12 hours during the festival or 16-20 hours before/after the festival.

If you work during the festival, you work your 12 hours divided into 2 or 3 shifts, so about 4 hours/day. You then receive a festival wristband (entrance for the whole festival), coffee/tea and some sweets or soup, and free camping at the scenic volunteer campsite (note: tents only).

If you work before or after the festival, you work 16-20 hours depending on what is required in the area. You then receive a festival wristband (entrance for the whole festival), food (lunch or dinner) on the day you work, and free camping at the scenic volunteer campsite (note: tents only).

When you have submitted your application via this form, you can make requests in the list below regarding which area you want to work in. We then try to accommodate your requests. You will then be placed in a work group, for example: "security", "entrance," or "pancake group." Each group has a group coordinator.

The group coordinator (or sometimes the volunteer coordinator) emails information and eventually a schedule to the volunteers. The schedule is usually ready about 2 weeks before the festival starts. Many group coordinators have an introductory meeting with all volunteers in their group before the work begins; if this is the case, it will also be informed in advance via email.

We require that you are completely sober during your work shifts.

Note! When you click "send," it will say "We have received your application!" The volunteer coordinator will contact you after June 23rd with more information. If you have submitted your application to be a volunteer before June 23rd, you will be guaranteed a volunteer spot.

If you have any questions send an e-mail to volontar@urkult.se

What would you prefer working with? *

Tick the areas you would most like to work with, you can tick several that you are interested in, and you will be placed in one of these.

Medical Care: You need some form of medical training that can be certified with a license. Medical care is open during the festival days (Thursday-Sunday morning). It is based at the hub, which can be accessed both from inside and outside the festival area. Usually, there are minor injuries to barefoot children, but other illnesses also occur. Those with greater needs than we can meet are sent to the hospital. It is a very fun and pleasant task with great colleagues!

Security: Are you passionate about safety and security, attentive, and looking out for people's best interests? Then security might be a group for you! At the roadblock, you ensure that only cars with permits pass, in the patrol, you patrol in groups along the fence to prevent people from sneaking in or smuggling in alcohol or other prohibited items. Backstage/stage guards watch the stages, and night guards watch the stage equipment at night. You never work alone.

Other: I'm Flexible and Can Help in Various Places Where Needed

Other: I'm creative and want to create stuff

Other: I'm handy and want to build and carry things

Other: Surprise me, I'm happy to help with anything
