Roskilde has secured Bob Dylan for 2019.
The songwriting legend will be making his first appearance at the Danish festival when it is held this year between June 29th-July 6th, joining previously confirmed acts such as The Cure, Robyn, Christine And The Queens and Parquet Courts. Unsurprisingly, head of programme Anders Wahrén is thrilled:
“Few artists have had such a profound influence on music and popular culture as Bob Dylan. To many of our young festival-goers, this will be their first chance to witness an artist who has changed the course of music as much as he has.”
“It’s crucial for us to present a line-up with great music from all over the world. Rosalía is a perfect example of a popstar who makes global pop music in an age when genre and language barriers mean less, and the way she effortlessly mixes classic flamenco with pop and hip-hop is testament to her brilliance and the curiosity of millions of listeners out there.”
