Roskilde Festival 2019 was another sold-out and successful edition of the famous non-profit festival. There is plenty of reason to look forward to the 50th edition next summer.

American superstar Taylor Swift is the first artist to be revealed for Roskilde Festival 2020 where she will play her first ever show in Denmark.

Taylor Swift recently released her acclaimed new album Lover, charting at number 1 all over the world. Only weeks old, it has already been heralded as a mature, personal achievement in which Swift combines danceable pop gems and revelatory, vulnerable ballads.

The 29-year-old star describes the album as a celebration of love in all its complexity, warmth and chaos, and with songs such as You Need to Calm Down and The Man she shows how to stand up for social and political rights, not only for herself but for others in need.

Since her self-titled debut album in 2006, Swift has conquered audiences with both her recordings and her powerful live performances, mastering everything from intimate moments to overwhelming pop bangers.

Roskilde Festival's Head of Programme Anders Wahrén says:

"We are proud to host Taylor Swift's first ever show in Denmark. She is by far one of the most relevant and influential popstars of our time, and we can't wait to celebrate our 50th festival with Taylor Swift on our iconic Orange Stage."

Taylor Swift will play Roskilde Festival on Wednesday 1 July 2020. More acts will be announced soon.
