Roskilde add Slipknot, and Madness

Slipknot, and Madness are the latest acts confirmed for Roskilde.

The Scandinavian festival shows how diverse the acts it books are with these latest confirmations, ska legends Madness, and mask-wearing metallers Slipknot on the same billing.

Slipknot last appeared on the Roskilde programme in 2004 due to a cancellation, and the mask-wearing Americans make their return after five years to showcase their latest album 'All Hope Is Gone', as well as crowd favourites from their previous three albums.

2-Tone legends Madness, will be celebrating their 30th Anniversary this year and will be playing hits such as 'Baggy Trousers', 'It Must Be Love', and 'House of Fun'. Their eagerly anticipated eighth album, 'The Liberty of Norton Folgate', is due for release this year.
