When Bob Marley played at Roskilde Festival in 1978, Talking Heads in 1979, U2 in 1982, Metallica in 1986,Radiohead in 1997 and Snoop Dogg in 2008 (just to mention few among countless artists), Roskilde has again and again demonstrated that this is the place to experience new, sprouting names, contemporary stars and timeless legends. Roskilde Festival has surprised its audience throughout history, and you can prepare yourself to be surprised again. It is not only musical experiences that await the audience when the festival site (festival sold out) and its seven music stages open on Thursday 1 July.

This year, graffiti art celebrates its 11-year jubilee at Roskilde Festival.
