Roskilde Festival have announced 20 new additions to their 2025 lineup, including Charli xcx, Tyla, and Africa Express.
The Danish festival’s latest announcement sees Charli set to perform on the iconic Orange Stage, returning after her appearance on the festival’s second-largest stage last year.
“Charli XCX is one of the most vital voices in pop today. With her fearless and boundary-pushing approach, she breaks conventions and shifts gears like no one else. In true Charli XCX fashion, she’s already reinvented her live show with an extravagant new concept, and we can’t wait to bring it to life on the Orange Stage this summer,” says Roskilde Festival’s Head of Music, Thomas Sønderby Jepsen.
The Orange Stage will also welcome Africa Express, the collective founded by Blur and Gorillaz frontman Damon Albarn, who will join the group to showcase material from their new album. South African singer-songwriter Tyla joins the bill following the release of her debut album in 2024, after cancelling her scheduled appearance at last year’s festival.
Additional acts announced include Brazil’s Charanga do França, Congo’s Ngwaka Son Systéme, and Sweden’s Katarina Barruk. These artists join previously announced performers including Olivia Rodrigo, Stormzy, Doechii, FKA twigs, Fontaines D.C., Nine Inch Nails, and Arca.
