Get ready for Roskilde Festival 2025, this summer’s main gathering point. Today, we’re unveiling the first names for an extraordinary lineup – including STORMZY, FONTAINES D.C. and ARCA!
One of the headliners will be British rap star STORMZY, who’s currently making waves with ‘BACKBONE’ alongside Chase & Status. Next summer, he’ll be one of the first to play on the new, larger Orange Stage. Stormzy delivered two intense performances at the festival in 2016 and 2018, and he sends this message.
I’m very excited to headline Roskilde next year. Playing there in 2016 and 2018 was amazing, but returning as a headliner feels like a big milestone. Roskilde has such a unique energy, and I look forward to sharing this experience with everyone. It’s going to be something very special! – Stormzy
Attitude, poetry, dark vibes, and world-class rock sound. FONTAINES D.C. has it all. These Irish post-punk heroes have quickly become a must-see rock act, including here in Denmark, where they showed off their masterful hold on the crowd at Roskilde Festival in 2022. Many of you have wished to hear FONTAINES D.C. at Roskilde Festival 2025, and we’re thrilled to welcome them back. Expect a stellar rock concert from a band at the top of their game with their critically acclaimed fourth album, Romance!
ARCA is a flamboyant production genius who flips electronic pop on its head, reshaping genres into wild, new expressions. Since *Xen* in 2014, she’s blended pop, reggaeton, and avant-garde, collaborating with major names like Björk, Rosalía, and Frank Ocean, all through her boundary-pushing approach. Her live performances are immersive experiences where futuristic visuals and theatricality unite the music into an unforgettable whole. ARCA manages to create an intimate, intense atmosphere that both disrupts and seduces – making her a unique voice in contemporary music.
Bringing their trademark mix of metallic deathcore, catchy pop choruses, and electronic punch, ELECTRIC CALLBOY will transform Roskilde into a euphoric party zone. Known for their high-energy shows, this German band combines metal and electronic elements in a way that is as intense as it is entertaining. After winning the Heavy Music Award for Best Live Act in 2024, ELECTRIC CALLBOY comes to Roskilde with a new album and recent collaborations – guaranteed to bring an electric live performance that has built them a devoted fanbase.
Since the 1990s, BETH GIBBONS has been a haunting voice in popular music. With a mysterious aura, she’s an emotional cornerstone in Portishead’s cinematic trip-hop, and all three albums with the legendary group remain classics. Now, Beth Gibbons returns to Roskilde Festival as a solo artist with her critically acclaimed album Lives Outgrown, marking her first solo release at age 59. Good things come to those who wait, and it’s a special honour to host such a charismatic and monumental voice.
