Denmark’s Roskilde Festival has added Blur, Queens of the Stone Age, Tove Lo, and many more to its already-impressive 2023 line-up.
19 new acts now join the previously-shared 16-act initial bill, which included Rina Sawayama, Denzel Curry, Burna Boy, and more – find the breakdown of that announcement here. The Danish non-profit festival will be held from June 24th to July 1st next year.
Leading the second wave, Britpop icons Blur continue to expand their 2023 slate with another live announcement following their recent reunion. Selling out not one but two dates at Wembley Stadium, and once again making waves in other corners of the world – a headline slot at Primavera Sound isn’t one to be scoffed at – they are sure to be a highlight at Roskilde.
American guitar heroes Queens of the Stone Age will make their fifth visit to the festival next summer, bringing a hefty discography along with them all the way from sunny California. Their latest LP was 2017’s “cool as fuck” ‘Villains’ over five years ago, but the ever-evolving collective never fails to stun as a live force.
Swedish pop star Tove Lo will bring the personal and positive messages of her new album, ‘Dirt Femme’, to the Danish celebration – Dork’s 4-star review described the record as, “an addictive gem that sees all that shiny potential finally fully realised”. The singer admitted, “I think every fucking song has death in it,” in the accompanying interview feature, which you can read here.
