The festival, set in the land of Denmark is known for its diverse roster of bands which draws from such areas as rock, hip-hop, metal, urban, electronica, 3rd world contemporary music and even classical acts. Joining Jay-Z on the headlining bill will be Radiohead.
The 38th incarnation of Roskilde will take place from July 3 to July 6. It will see 181 acts take to 7 different stages in the name of arts and entertainment.
