Think you/we have to wait close to 14 more days to the last day of January 😢

Don't think Arcade Fire is relevant either. I don't know if I agree that you can't put together a good Line-Up. I think you can - just a matter of money and personal preference. I think the following bigger names are still not booked to anything in Denmark (but playing elsewhere during the summer): LCD Soundsystem Smashing Pumpkins Ed Sheeran Lana Del Rey Måneskin Prodigy Dua Lipa Arcade Fire Doja Cat SZA Pulp Justice Disclosure Jungle Royal Blood Sum 41 Janes Addiction Greta Van Fleet Calvin Harris Deftones Stormzy Libertines Give me a couple of Smashing, LCD, Pulp, Jungle, Prodigy, Janes Addiction, Libertines and a few more small names to my liking and I would be very happy. Would also go see Stormzy, Lana (with the wife) and deftones and would give SZA / Doja cat a fair chance. Edit: And then for the dream Line-Up of touring bands steal Tool from Copenhell, Fred Again from Syd for Solen and also snatch some bands from Northside.

Actually the first thing that makes sense 😅 Just saw Gucci Mane announced for Exit festival. I could easily see Roskilde going for him for a high Hip hop spot. Got fine reviews in 2017. Something for the young boys.

I just think a solo show would have been announced already. It is a little strange, because I would also say they would fit Heartland -> Northside -> solo show almost even Copenhell before Roskilde. Maybe they are just not coming to Denmark 😅

No ones really touring? Not yet at least. Can only see maybe Stormzy.

I do somewhat see your Smashing points but then again: Oceania, Monuments to an Elegy and Atum (most recent) did get over 6 on pitchfork, so not everything redeemed completely useless and I personally do listen to a couple of newer songs from them once in a while. Their 3 records (Siamese, Melancollie, Adore) are still absolute classics and have also recently been re reviewed on pitchfork getting 8,5; 9,1 and 9,3. Basically choosing Pulp over Smashing would be punishing one band for still making music. I also feel Smashing have had a somewhat unique influence on newer genres with their emo leaning rock - a direction Hip Hop have been going. And with the depressed youth I actually think it could be interesting for young people to discover a band like Smashing Pumpkins while appealing to an older crowd. Mainly though: I just can't believe no danish festival would book them (there's so many), and as of now the dates mainly line up towards Roskilde

I would love love love Smashing Pumpkins / Pulp. Still my expectations are Doja Cat / SZA and if Billie Eilish ends up being around then Billie Eilish as well - Heck even Dua Lip or Lana. So many top female artists around, and these days I'm sure Roskilde would jump the chance to have a female overweight top line. They are already well under way with Kali Uchi's, PJ Harvey, Aurora. So actually I'm down to hoping for only one of Smashing/Pulp/LCD/Prodigy (or even Jungle/Janes Addiction), but I would gladly take more. Can't wait for the next announcement. Surprisingly many acts still not booked to any of the too many danish festival.

It's happened too much recently. And actually all years since I've started coming to the Festival. Had to give up on Malk de Kojn, Tame Impala, Robias Rahim and Ukendt Kunstner. Chose Blur because I knew it would be overcrowded at Rosalia. Had to give up midway through Stormzy. Give the artists the Orange stage if they have the pull. Especially with other artists struggling to fill the orange stage at all. Your predictions would make Roskilde's 4 headliners insane from a global point of view. Not to my liking personally, but pretty huge. Would love The Prodigy and Smashing Pumpkins but I am sceptical of both. I have no clue who the 4 top headliners could be. Also sceptical of Lana because she has fests early June and later august already (break in the middle and played Glasto last year). Fearing we could still get something like Ed Sheeran and Dua Lipa (because she appearantly likes the festival - nothing against her. Just too soon).

Why? They will require headliner money whilst not being anywhere near headliner material. Roskilde clearly wants and always have wanted to introduce a lot of genres, as you cans see with several of the bookings this year, but burning the majority of the money on artists that will not sell tickets is risky. I would love for Tool to be booked for Roskilde come this European Tour, but I have to acknowledge the exact same challenge: It would have required serious headliner money without them having the pull with the average young scandinavian. Copenhell on the other hand can book them and pay headliner money because their audience will love it and buy buy buy.

With Lana being in Europe early (Primavera) and Late (Reading/Leeds) I would guess she takes a break in the middle (Roskilde/Glasto/Werchter/Open'er).

Any predictions for the coming week. Normally we would get names Thursday. Predict SZA being the big name.

Well he was there before 🙂

Will take place 3. July -> 6. July (Warm up starting 29. June). Tickets and first acts on Tuesday! Curious if they continue down the path of booking very "young" music as they did in 2022 and 2023 compared to before the pandemic.

Amazing 😅

She did play Tinderbox in 2019 🙂
