The strong turnout enables the Roskilde Festival Charity Society to once again fulfill its purpose: donating all proceeds to charitable causes, particularly those supporting children and young people. Roskilde Festival's CEO Signe Lopdrup says: "A sold-out festival is proof that we succeeded in putting together a programme made for its time. We've experienced artists, performers, and activists driven by passion, purpose, and imagination - gathering large communities, creating intimate artistic moments, and opening new perspectives. We are incredibly proud to deliver a festival that not only creates transformative experiences here and now, but also strengthens the future of young people beyond the festival grounds. This is the core of who we are: a festival community that celebrates art and activism, while building hope and agency through action."
This year's music programme featured 185 acts from 45 countries, spanning genres and generations.
With artists such as Olivia Rodrigo, Charli XCX, Stormzy, Tyla, Doechii, Jamie xx, FKA Twigs, Fontaines D.C., and Nine Inch Nails the line-up reflected a diverse range of contemporary voices and artistic directions. The festival's art and activism programming addressed themes like overconsumption, accessibility, and protest culture through installations, performances and talks. Projects by artists such as Jesse Darling, Julie Nymann, The Nest Collective, Jeremy Hutchison and Eau de Cologne invited festival-goers to reflect on social and environmental urgencies. Roskilde Festival will return in 2026, running from Saturday 27 June to Saturday 4 July. Planning is already underway, and ticket sales will open in autumn 2025. Since 1971, Roskilde Festival has brought generations together through music, art, and community. Organised by the Roskilde Festival Charity Society and powered by 30,000 volunteers, all profits are donated to humanitarian, non-profit, and cultural causes, particularly benefiting young people. Over the years, the festival has raised approximately DKK 457 million (approx. EUR 61 million) for charitable distribution. |
