Roskilde Festival Announces Kendrick Lamar As Headliner
Eight years since his most recent headline spot at the Danish festival, Kendrick Lamar is returning to Roskilde for the third time.
The non-profit festival of arts, culture, sustainability and music has added 16 new names to an already stacked line-up; Caroline Polachek, Weyes Blood, Indigo De Souza, Special Interest, Angélique Kidjo and the celebrated metalcore outfit Code Orange.
“This announcement features some of the most vehement vocalists and powerful performers right now, acts whom in each their own way convey hope, meaning and change,” explains Roskilde Festivals head of programme, Anders Wahrén. “Roskilde Festival has shared a special, decade-spanning bond with artists like Kendrick Lamar and Angélique Kidjo, and they always bring something new to this festival.”
Away from the main stage music, additions to Roskilde Festival’s Art & Activism program include cellist and composer Josefine Opsahl and choreographer and visual artist Jules Fischer as well as the Danish cultural institution Resonating Rooms. They join a line-up that already features renowned American choreographer Marikiscrycrycry and American-based visual artist Lise Haller Baggesen.
