UPDATE (4/30, 3:11pm): The Roskilde Festival has released the full line-up for the 2026 festival, which now rounds out to a total of 177 music acts from across 37 countries, including Greenland, Palestine and Ukraine. This most recent, final update on April 30th adds a final 20 artists to the lineup. The full list of additions are Jennie, Ken Carson, Bia, Jalen Ngonda, Malk De Koijn, Mas, Panda Bear & Sonic Boom, Sama’ Abdulhadi, Abdullah Minawy Trio, Djrum, Getdown Services, Heinali & Andriana-Yaroslava, Hemlocke Springs, Lechuga Zafiro & Verraco, Pili Pili Girls, Poison Ruin, Smertegrænsens Toldere, Solo City x Vertigo, Saad Tiouly and Tarrak.
“This year’s music programme offers the breadth, depth, and quality that a Roskilde Festival lineup should embody—from the most genre-defining and leading artists of today to a strong selection of emerging names and new trends. 177 acts from 37 countries reflect a wide diversity and point to where music is heading, with more artists performing in their native languages, plenty of electronic music, a strong local scene, and a clear focus on the live experience. Above all, there is a playful and curious approach to music, where artists move across genres and experiment with sound and expression. I would strongly encourage everyone to explore the programme with curiosity”, says Thomas Sønderby Jepsen.

The venue at Roskilde is set to hold 130,000 people during the festival, featuring a new and expanded Orange Stage that will debut with a performance by The Cure on July 1st.
“As an independent, non-profit festival, supporting and celebrating diversity is at the heart of what we do at Roskilde Festival,” said Roskilde Festival’s Head of Music Thomas Sønderby Jepsen. “Our programming reflects this mission, presenting our participants with some of the most innovative and influential trends from music scenes across the globe, alongside artists who have become true icons over the years.”
