Roskilde Festival has revealed its first wave of acts for 2025. The 53rd edition of the Danish non-profit festival will run from June 28th to July 5th 2025, featuring more than 170 music acts. Stormzy, Arca, Fontaines D.C., Magdalena Bay, Beth Gibbons, and Faye Webster are among the first 28 acts to be announced for Roskilde Festival 2025. Tickets are now on sale.
Denmark’s Roskilde Festival is one of the longest-standing festivals in the game. Over eight days, the festival will host 130,000 participants, including 30,000 volunteers, and feature more than 170 music acts. It will also feature 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, has revealed the first 28 acts to play in 2025.
British rapper and cultural icon Stormzy will be among the headliners at Roskilde Festival 2025 and will be one of the first acts to play on the festival’s new and enhanced Orange Stage. The main stage is set to be around twice its former size.
Stormzy said: “Excited to be headlining Roskilde next year. Playing in both 2016 and 2018 was incredible, but returning now as a headliner feels like a big milestone. Roskilde has a unique energy, and I’m looking forward to sharing this experience with everyone. It’s going to be something special!”
He will be joined by other critically acclaimed acts such as Irish post-punk group Fontaines D.C., US alternative pop duo Magdalena Bay, 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 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 MØ.
