At least not in my book. It's not really something Roskilde supports and encourages. Just the opposite. I am absolutely convinced that it is possible to get a great lineup without Arcade Fire. Unfortunately, it looks like it will be another slightly bad year in 2024, considering that most festivals in Europe have difficulty getting really good lineups, as it looks right now. There are few, apart from 1-2 festivals, who have presented a good start to their lineup for 2024. 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.

I think the following bigger names are still not booked to anything in Denmark (but playing elsewhere during the summer): LCD Soundsystem Very possible, and really hope they come! Smashing Pumpkins Possible Ed Sheeran Not possible at all Lana Del Rey Possible but judging by dates she is more likely to come to NorthSide festival Måneskin In my books they are in for Roskilde Prodigy Possible but don't think Roskilde is going to book them Dua Lipa Possible but if Billie Eilish announces tour I think she's out Arcade Fire Possible, hopefully they are not booked Doja Cat Pretty convinced she's one of the headliners SZA Very possible Pulp Very possible, however seem to be fitting more Syd for Solen Justice Very possible Disclosure Very possible Jungle Very possible Royal Blood Very possible Sum 41 Does not seem like something Roskilde would book Janes Addiction Very possible Greta Van Fleet Possible Calvin Harris Possible Deftones At this point really hope they come, but probably Copenhell is going to get them Stormzy Possible Libertines Does not seem like something Roskilde would book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnBiloTitled Posted December 19, 2023 Report Share Posted December 19, 2023 Realistically, I don't think more than maybe 2-3 of these artists will be booked by Roskilde. Of course I could be wrong. Roskilde often wants to go its own way and usually differs a bit in comparison to other festivals. For better or worse, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m quite curious to see if there will be any big surprises like Billie Eilish or Doha Cat. Personally I think that it will be artists that were already announced at other festivals: Doja Cat, SZA, Smashing Pumpkins, Arcade Fire are my guesses. P.S Ice Spice and 21 Savage both announced at Opener festival that shares dates with Roskilde. So I think that the next batch of names will be Doja Cat (or another headliner name) plus Ice Spice or 21 Savage and branch of undercard like Michael Kiwanuka, Masego, Loyle Carner and others.

FrogLobster Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 (edited) Surely must have some new names soon? Last announcement was end of November! Also they announced a new Orange Stage for 2025 which will be bigger and permanent; stating its so they can fit in larger and more contemporary production from artists. Makes sense as Orange currently quite small compared to other major European festivals. Edited January 17 by FrogLobster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess: it will something related with Doja Cat, 21 Savage, Maneskin and a bunch of smaller names and danish names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Roskilde team bring in Chino Moreno with either with Deftones or Crosses it'll give a lot more depth and diversity to the line up...w8ing for the next announcements... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that Orange is a favorite stage, but it is certainly a legendary stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrogLobster Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 (edited) Going by the info currently on the website for Orange Stage (All the other acts are TBA Wednesday: Doja Cat, Jungle (Late night headliner?) Thursday: Skrillex (Late night headliner?), Ice Spice Friday: Foo Fighters, Kali Uchi, Gilli Saturday: PJ Harvey My guess is that another big headliner for the Saturday; I absolutely adore PJ Harvey but popularity-wise for Denmark she is a tier lower than the likes of other recent rock/guitar headliners like Foos, The Cure, The Strokes, Blur etc and is probably subbing a bigger name. I would also prefer her closing Arena (Her new material will go better there) so not sure how it will take to Orange which usually attracts younger casual festival goers these days. Perhaps Billie Eilish is going to slot in above? I do like the later night headliners if its someone that fits the atmosphere. The Blaze a few years ago was decent after Dua Lipa. Skrillex and Jungle will do well in those slots. Christine and The Queens art-house abstract-art monologue performance of just new material did NOT go down well last year; totally the wrong vibe for such a larger stage and at 1am. 😄 Jane's Addiction are TBA so probably in Arena (The QOTSA rock slot) Overall; im content with who is booked so far! I have about 15 acts I want to see currently and thats without me digging into those that I don't know yet.; just need a few more big ones added to the Thursday. 😄 Edited January 25 by FrogLobster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think SZA will be the Saturday headliner and 21 Savage will be a co headliner with Skrillex. No news on Bad Bunny, Drake is doing a EU tour but don't think Roskilde can afford him, Dua Lipa is out due to her dates, maybe Billie Eilish?

I never got checked to enter the festival on first days, no one even asked me for my wristbands. After those days, they usually check if you have glass on your bag but nothing else, but try to contact to the festival via mail or instagram just to check it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's because there are mostly volunteers checking the bracelets and they are usually teenagers that do it just to get a free ticket. I've managed to bring a loads of beers inside without being stopped. I know people that managed to enter the festival without a bracelet.

Can confirm; but this is for all big events and customer service workers in Denmark in general. Can pretty much get away with anything due to the local social culture of 'avoiding-all-conflicts'. 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
festivalguy97 Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Mad Cool final lineup. It's 1 weekend after Roskilde so a lot of artists are going to come to Roskilde. Who do you think we can get? From big artists I would say Maneskin are kind of guaranteed, plus artists like Jessie Ware, Smashing Pumpkins, Black Pumas and Bring Me The Horizon.
