Roskilde, Denmark – The renowned Roskilde Festival, Northern Europe’s largest music and arts gathering, is scheduled to take place from June 28 to July 5, 2025. Founded in 1971, this eight-day cultural phenomenon combines global music performances with cross-genre arts, installations, performance art, and immersive workshops.
Held annually south of Roskilde city and just 20 miles from Copenhagen, the festival brings together over 130,000 attendees and features more than 170 diverse acts, including major headliners like Stormzy, Nine Inch Nails, Olivia Rodrigo, Arca, Fontaines D.C., Deftones, Jamie xx, Beth Gibbons, and more.
Beyond music genres spanning rock, hip‑hop, electronic, world, folk, and experimental, Roskilde also highlights:
Art installations and performance art
Creative workshops for attendees of all ages
Circus, spoken word, and interactive theatre zones
As a non-profit festival, all proceeds support humanitarian and cultural initiatives through the Roskilde Foundation.
The first wave of 2025 artists brings dynamic performances, headlined by Stormzy on the newly expanded Orange Stage – once described as “twin-size” to previous years. This year’s early roster also includes Arca, Fontaines D.C., Beth Gibbons, Faye Webster, Magdalena Bay, MØ, and The Hu, alongside rising talents like Jessica Pratt and Esy Tadesse.
Roskilde’s vibrant communal ethos relies on over 30,000 volunteers each year, united by an “Orange Feeling” of cooperation and participatory spirit. Volunteers, performing essential roles like stage support and sustainability efforts, are integral to the festival’s success.
Curator and CEO Signe Lopdrup describes Roskilde as a cultural catalyst, merging “utopian visions with tangible, everyday solutions” to inspire future generations .
