Denmark's Roskilde Festival is one of the longest standing festivals in the game. Across eight days, the festival will host 130,000 participants, including 30,000 volunteers, and feature more than 170 music acts as well as a vast lineup of interdisciplinary art and activism through installations, performances, workshops, and talks.

 

Today, the non-profit festival-which donates all proceeds to humanitarian and cultural activities that benefit youth-reveals the first 28 acts to play next year's festival.

 

British rapper and cultural icon Stormzy will be among the headliners at Roskilde Festival 2025. Stormzy will be one of the first acts to play the festival's new and enhanced Orange Stage. The main stage of the festival will be about twice its former size.

 

He will be joined by other critically acclaimed acts like Irish post-punk group Fontaines D.C., US alternative pop duo Magdalena Bay and indie pop musician Faye Webster, the ground-breaking Venezuelan producer Arca, and iconic UK singer-songwriter Beth Gibbons from Portishead fame.

 

The inaugural announcement for Roskilde Festival 2025 spans across multiple styles, genres, and continents, also featuring Germany's hard-hitting party kings Electric Callboy, acclaimed US singer-songwriters like Jessica Pratt and Faye Webster, British experimental rock musician Geordie Greep, Lebanese post-folk six-piece Sanam, Ethiopian jazz composer Esy Tadesse and Denmark's very own pop superstar .

 

Inspiring hope and action for new generations
Located 20 miles outside Copenhagen, Roskilde Festival is the largest festival in Northern Europe. Home to a spectacular camping site and festival city, the festival is renowned for its deep sense of community. Being a non-profit festival means that every ticket sold directly supports humanitarian causes and cultural work, giving participants the chance to be part of something bigger.

 

"At Roskilde Festival, we aim to lay the groundwork for a brighter future by inspiring hope and action for new generations. We combine big utopian visions with tangible, everyday solutions that point towards new paths. Art plays a crucial role as a catalyst for change, and in 2025, participants at Roskilde Festival will experience an engaging and progressive lineup across music, performances, art installations, and activism," says Signe Lopdrup, CEO of Roskilde Festival Group.
