Massive Danish non-profit festival Roskilde has made its first line-up announcement for next year.

The diverse bill will see the likes of Heilung, The Armed and Blondshell join PJ Harvey, Kali Uchis, Gilli and Romy for the eight-day spectacular, which takes place from June 29 – July 6, 2024 and will feature around 170 acts in total.

“We have a long-running history of being a progressive festival with an international perspective, and we consistently push ourselves to further that purpose,” explains Roskilde’s Program Director Anders Wahrén.

“We aim to inspire every single one of our 130,000 festival participants with a diverse line-up characterised by artistic curiosity and ground-breaking headliners presented in a unique festival setting.”

The fest – which is near Copenhagen – donates all proceeds to humanitarian efforts and cultural work benefiting the youth, with approximately €58 million generated over the years so far.
