Green Man Festival 2019 (Gary Mather for Live4ever)
As Denmark’s Roskilde Festival looks to celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2021 instead of this year, 32 new acts have been confirmed for the next edition of the event.
Leading those new names are Tyler, The Creator, FKA twigs, Thom Yorke Tomorrow’s Modern Boxes and Moses Sumney, booked for June 26th-July 3rd July next year. “For us it has been important to invite some of the acts back whom we believe will be both significant and top-notch next year,” head of programming Anders Wahrén says.
“Tyler, The Creator and FKA twigs are two central players because they are two younger artists who are constantly working with their own sound and renewing the concert format. Their concerts always bring about new experiences.”
“The music programme at Roskilde Festival 2021 will not mirror the festival that should have been because we cannot and will not copy the full programme. Right now, there is a pandemic and racism is on the global agenda. Historically, big agendas also make their way into the arts, which is why, of course, we keep part of the programme open to bring new, relevant names into play.”
