Arcade Fire to headline Roskilde Festival

24 more artists added to the line up of Denmark's Roskilde Festival 2017, including a headliners Arcade Fire plus Blink 182, Justice, Erasure, The Lumineers, Solange and Warpaint.

Head of Programme Anders Wahrén commented: “Arcade Fire have spearheaded a new generation of indie rock, and they’ve grown tremendously in terms of both ambition and popularity since their last visit to Roskilde Festival 10 years ago. We look forward to a majestic and overwhelming night when they play our iconic Orange Stage in 2017.”

“The acts that we’ve announced today are from 10 different countries and represent a myriad of different styles. On a larger scale, this sort of diversity is what’s so important to us. From Korea’s Black String to a trendsetting urban artist like Kano. From a political star like Solange to something heavier like Red Fang, these artists all do something unique in totally different ways.

Other artists added to the line up are Bcuc, Black String, Blood Command, Cashmere Cat, Jagwar Ma, Kellermensch, Kevin Morby, Margo Price, Kano, Møme, Neurosis, Princess Nokia, Red Fang, Svin, Vanishing Twin, Viagra Boys and Wiki.
