Rock on at Roskilde Festival

The Roskilde Festival is the largest music festival in Northern Europe, taking place every summer in the countryside settings outside Roskilde. This world-famous festival has been going from strength to strength since 1971 and this year looks like it could be the best ever.

Great music will be pouring out from seven stages over four days. The Roskilde Festival is widely regarded as the Scandinavian equivalent of Glastonbury and around 100,000 music and party-lovers from all over the world descend on Denmark for these four terrific days.

Year after year, the world-famous Roskilde Festival successfully serves up extraordinary and unique experiences as it presents a hot mix of legendary, contemporary and progressive quality music - always with a large share of the unpredictable. Around 175 artists from around the world will perform this year.

The 2009 line-up includes names such as Coldplay, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Faith No More, Nine Inch Nails, Oasis, Pet Shop Boys, Slipknot and Kanye West.
