TO ROSKILDE FESTIVAL 2018
Yes, welcome indeed! You having cracked open this booklet means that you are at Roskilde Festival 2018. It’s a joyous place. Heavenly! But we don’t need to tell you that. You already know – or you will definitely soon find out. One part of what makes Roskilde Festival such a haven is the many-coloured music, the mindboggling arts, the mouth-wateringly delicious food, the eye-opening talks and debates and in general... well, the good times.
Everything is possible in the big city called Roskilde Festival. This is where we can dream a little. Forget about the tiresome troubles on blue Mondays or wet Wednesdays. Here, we can contemplate how we live our lives, and perhaps bring inspiration from what Roskilde Festival facilitates back with us into our busy everyday schedules. Mix it up a bit.
The other part is you, our favourite people in the world! The Roskilde people! You give Roskilde Festival atmosphere, you bring the high spirits and good moods, you become the best audience in the world, together at Roskilde Festival.
This year, we celebrate the 40th anniversary of our orange altar (see a little celebration on p. 15). The Orange Stage was first set up back in 1978, the same year Bob Marley & The Wailers played here. Since then, it has been a platform for numerous stars. This year is no exception, and Orange Stage is just one of eight stages, which again just are a few of all the venues, places, corners, squares and hideaways you will find here. So much is going on.
Roskilde Festival becomes the special place it is because of the free space we have together. Because we appreciate and respect one another. Together, we make everybody have a good time. It’s our common responsibility. In other words, to sum everything up, we are orange together.
But enough talk (at least on this page). Go explore, go have the best time of your life and remember to hug a stranger and talk to all your new friends here you haven’t met yet. But also, read onwards in this guide, which will tell you about some of the many things you have ahead of you at Roskilde 2018. Enjoy!

Music can make us smile, sob and scream. A song can give us chills, thrills and moments of pure happiness. And when music affects us, it activates the same part of our brain as drugs – releasing dopamine that gives us an emotional high. This year, we want people to know that music releases natural dopamine. And that’s a great reason to skip the drunks and avoid drugs. Let the music take you higher and don’t miss a beat. Come and join us at festivals and venues all over the country. See the film and listen to podcasts at againstdrugs.dk

MUSIC, ART AND ACTIVISM MERGE
Music, art and activism merge more than ever before at Roskilde Festival 2018. This year we’re upgrading KlubRÅ, a club that offers live music, art projects and everything in between. Our own modern community hall, Flokkr, is filled with talks, debates and music. Moreover, a few art and activism projects will move onto our music stages, e.g. political activist Chelsea Manning and Danish artist HVAD. On our screens by the Orange Stage you can watch art flicks. It all blends together, and there is plenty to explore. Have fun!
MAKEOVER FOR ORANGE AREA
We’ve redesigned the audience area in front of the Orange Stage. We’ve added more delay speakers to fill the area with crisp and clear sound. At the back, we’ve removed the grandstand in favour of a new hang-out area. This also ties the area better together with Trade Zone. At the front we have changed the pit system. The two sections at the back (capacity: 10,000 people) are now always open. Access to the front section closest to the stage requires special pit wristbands. Get them on the day of the concert. Read more on page 99.
THE CITIES ARE DEVELOPING
Prepare for better sound coverage in the orange stage area: Five speaker towers (two more in 2018) will fill the area with sound.
This year we have three cities – East, West and South – central areas on the campsite full of activities, music, and food and drink options. East City comes alive in 2018! Here you can visit our 3GAME area for your daily dose of street sports (basketball, petanque, street football, volleyball and much more) and DJs at night, as well as our Equality Stadium for a match of unfair football. This is also where you will find Flokkr, our festivalised community hall, with three days of talks, debates and workshops.

NEWS
West City has moved up to the northwestern corner of the campsite. It contains the Rising stage, which is one of two stages for upcoming music. The other stage for upcoming music, Countdown, is in South City. This is a great place to hang out. This is also where we have our festival supermarket. No need to leave – we’ve got you sorted right here.
MORE FOOD THAN EVER
Feeling hungry? We have more dishes to satisfy your needs than ever before, no matter which type of food you’re craving right now. 130 food stalls offer over 400 dishes. Make sure you catch some music between all those meals, mmkay?
ROSKILDE FESTIVAL BECOMES 100 % CASHLESS
More or less everybody at Roskilde Festival uses a payment card of sorts, and that’s the only form of payment we accept at Roskilde Festival. If you’re a refund collector, you can get a Refund Card and collect your money in cash at a Refund Payout Station located in area L. Other than that, we’re 100 % cashless.

960 FLUSHING TOILETS AT THE CAMPSITE
This year the campsite is full of flushing toilets. 960 of them, to be exact! This means that you don’t have to walk far to find the nearest one when nature calls. The underground system consists of 30 kilometres of pipes. In total, we have over 3,100 publicly available toilets and pissoirs throughout the festival area.

# PRIVACY # DATASECURITY
In a new digital era with a much-needed focus on personal data on the internet, we want to be fully transparent about what we do with the data we have on you. Below you can see some examples of how we handle data. When you buy a ticket, we get to know your name, phone number, address and your email address. We appreciate that info because it tells us something about where in the world our audience is from. Furthermore, we can send you practical information and updates. When you use our app, a tracking code gives us information about the usage. It also shows us where the users are located on the festival site, allowing us to send push messages to users in a certain area. We do this for safety reasons. We can evaluate on audience flows for future festivals, predict audience attendance and communicate on safety precautions based on your location. Another reason is enhancing your experience. We can suggest experiences such as art and food options close to your location. All users are anonymous. We don’t know who you are, and we don’t want to know. When we shoot photos and video at the festival, you might end up being in the recordings. If you’re the focal point of the content, we will always ask your approval to use the content. You may also be in some photos alongside a lot of other happy festival-goers. When that happens we’re not able to ask for everybody’s approval. If you prefer that we remove the content, just let us know at gdpr@roskilde-festival.dk.

When you post an image on Instagram and tag it #rf18 we may show it on our big screens by the Orange and Arena stages. We do a screening of the photos first and we prefer happy faces and cheerful moments. If you prefer to stay off the screen, you can make your posts private, avoid using #rf18, or just let us know and we will leave you out. See e-mail above. When you buy stuff at the festival, be it beer or silly hats, we don’t record any personal data. We’ve heard one critical voice say that we could in fact trace everybody personally based on their purchases. Let’s be straight about this. We can’t, and most importantly, we won’t! At Roskilde you’re free. We simply make it possible for you to pay for stuff you’d like to buy, just like shops do. There’s more, of course, and we’ve laid it all out for you if you’re interested.

RESPECT THE FREE SPACE
You are a co-creator of the unique orange feeling. It feels a like a dream, but it is reality and it exists only here. Enjoy the freedom, forget your daily life, explore your boundaries and safeguard the community.
RESPECT EACH OTHER
You will meet people with values and norms that differ from your own. No matter who you meet along the way, show your respect for them and their boundaries.
RESPECT THE ENVIRONMENT
We take care of the world together. Leave the festival city as clean as you and your camp found it. Sort and recycle your litter and take your camping equipment home with you. If you don’t, it will end up as environmentally hazardous waste. Let’s be Orange Together. Love, Roskilde Festival

ABOUT SEX
Roskilde is a free space. A free space where we can be curious and explore ourselves and each other. Here is wildness, joy of life, curiosity and sensuality. Life-defining concerts, hedonistic mackerelin-tomato-stricken camp parties, greasy festival food, dusty hook-ups, balancing acts while peeing in the fence and sweaty festival sex on tired air mattresses. So many possibilities and experiences. Of course, in such a free space there are many grey areas. Situations where you are unsure if everything is fantastic or too much. If somebody said yes or no, jumped on or backed out. Situations where your own curiosity or desire suspends the consideration for another person. Where you forget to ask and do not make it possible to say no. Or where you completely forget to listen. Grey areas where we risk hurting or violating each other. We must help each other avoid this. Under the heading “Orange Together” we focus on all the conversations and situations where it can be difficult to say yes and no.
We have developed a card game that explores just how (not) exciting it is to be cat-called when you are peeing, the best way to seduce the beautiful girl from the neighbouring camp, if festival sex is sizzlingly hot or straight-out disgusting and if it is easier to pick up people that you have first rated with signs as they pass by. We have developed this game with our collaborators The Danish Family Planning Organisation, The Danish Women’s Society, The Askov Foundation, Amnesty International, DareGender and Everyday Sexism Project – and their volunteers whom you will meet during the first days of the festival. They will visit camps and play the game with you. If you pay Bastard Café a visit in Dream City, you can also try the game there. We hope that the game will make it a little easier for us all to talk about and navigate in the grey areas that appear when the intoxication, senses and emotions accelerate upwards.

YOU ORANGE GIANT!
DEAR ORANGE STAGE!
How old should we tell everybody that you are this year? We don’t think anyone will believe that you’re turning 35 for the fifth year in a row. Happy 40th birthday! We can’t believe that it’s been so long since the newspapers first wrote about a mystical orangered dragon tent on the festival site in Roskilde in 1978. You may not remember, but you were originally called ‘The Orange One’. Your father was the British stage designer Bill Harkin. Before you were a stage you were an idea, and then a design, which landed in the hands of The Rolling Stones’ tour manager. You were built in 1976 for the British band’s European tour that same year. Why orange, you probably ask. To tell you the truth, Harkin said it was because the orange canvas was on sale. But he also admitted that it was a cool colour for a rock’n’roll tent. We think we all can agree on that! Your orange colour gave an identity to Roskilde Festival. Think about that for a minute!
You had your debut at Roskilde Festival in 1978. And what a splash! 30,000 people visited that year (a new record!), and they witnessed Bob Marley’s flailing dreadlocks and Rasta man vibrations as well as Elvis Costello’s neurotic and vengeful rock. Back then you were called ‘The Canopy Stage’. This was perhaps the moment when Roskilde Festival really found itself. In your presence! In 1984, your canvas needed to be replaced. It was worn down. The same thing happened in 2001 when we also got you a brand-new construction, 33 % larger than the original. And you’re still standing there. Proudly, as the central beacon of the festival. Throughout the years you have come to symbolise lifeblood and community. In 2018, you stand there again, and we can celebrate your birthday with Eminem, Bruno Mars, Gorillaz and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds as some of the prominent guests at your party. We’re looking forward to the next 40 years in your glorious company. Let’s raise our glasses...

That’s a reality for some our of festival colleagues today. And for those we want to express solidarity and show that we dare take a stand. That we dare express our o pinions together with our audience. At Roskilde Festival you can always be free. And you should be free at any festival, just like any festival should be able to express whatever it wants. TAKE A STAND IS A JOINT I NITIATIVE BY THE EUROPEAN FESTIVAL ASSOCIATION YOUROPE.

ARTS & ACTIVISM
ARTS & ACTIVISM AT ROSKILDE FESTIVAL 2018
Ten-meter-tall walls pile up like a border fence at the festival, an anti-capitalist giant snake slithers through the campsites while limousines drive around and pick up the lucky ones. The art at Roskilde Festival relates to the world and wants you to do the same. The projects explore what it means to be a human being today. Political, digital and climate changes have created a world with a heightened fear of the unknown and an increased pressure on communities. How does this affect equality in the world and which opportunities more than 100 for blossoming do we have left?

musicians and activists Gulf Labor Artist Coalition and will fill the Roskilde area CAMP will invite you to join in with performances, their protest against the slavevisual art, sound art, like working conditions of mitalks, graffiti and grant workers in the culture indusmore. try.

FLOKKR
Help make a large-scale inflatable serpent. The Serpent of Capitalism is a re-imagining of our world if it were free of the stranglehold of capitalism. When produced, the serpent will roam the Roskilde campsite, but before that can happen we need you to lend your hand in the construction of this beast.

DEBATE PROGRAMME AT FLOKKR THE VALUE OF ART
WHAT IS MONEY?
What exactly is money? The system is not necessarily transparent and democratic in its design. New crypto economies go other ways and establish their own systems. Among others, you can meet Jonas Jensen from Gode Penge and Julia Evelyn Larsen from CryptoWomen. Moderator is Hakon Mosbech.
ARE THE ROBOTS COMING?
Join in on a debate about future labour. A workplace is no longer physical but more of a ubiquitous thing, for good and bad. What does that mean for organisations on the labour market and ourselves as workers? And, frankly, are the robots coming? Moderator is Christiane Vejlø.
GENDER IN DANISH URBAN MUSIC
Is urban music something for everyone or only for the chosen few? Urban music dominates the charts. Is this fact an indication of a big scene for recording and performing artists or is it just a handful of people that get to climb the charts? And how are opportunities for female artists in this genre? Presented by Turning Tables
THE FUTURE FOR GREENLANDIC MUSIC
Is there an interest in traditional Greenlandic music and culture patterns or is it rather influences from the surrounding world that dominate? In collaboration with young voices from Greenland, PIP (association for culture and youth in Greenland) and The Danish Red Cross Youth, we start a debate. Presented by Turning Tables
PRIVILEGES
What can we do to pass some of our privileges on to those who experience inequality the most? Mino Denmark is actively working for a community of committed and equal minority citizens, and they host a debate. Look forward to meeting Sara Omar, Shaka Loveless and Nabiha. Host is Abdel Aziz Mahmoud. Presented by Mino Danmark
ARE YOU CORRUPT?
Is Denmark still one of the least corrupted countries in the world? Lars Trier Mogensen and other opinion-makers are guests. The debate focuses on what corruption looks like in Denmark. Christoffer Emil Bruun will moderate. Presented in collaboration with Transparency International
See more events on the next page and the complete schedule for Flokkr on pages 114-115.

Towards a greener, cleaner festival Last year, Roskilde Festival gathered 2,280 tons of waste. This makes responsible waste management a priority for the festival—and for DTU, Technical University of Denmark. Engineering students from DTU are doing their part in making Roskilde Festival more sustainable by finding new ways to reduce, sort, and recycle waste.
Since 2010 DTU and Roskilde Festival have collaborated on improving festival conditions. This year, you can experience a portable windmill, Food Court powered by seven electric cars, a paper pavilion, and a beer pong game training a neural network.

EQUALITY
EQUALITY Homelessness, corruption, migration and tax havens. Roskilde Festival 2018 turns the focus to economic equality and looks back on the three years of our Equality campaign. Did you know that the eight wealthiest persons in the world own the same as half of the world’s population combined? Did you know that 800 million people still live of less than 1.25 dollars a day? Or did you know that the richest man i Tanzania earns 122,000 times as much as the poorest? We look into how economic equality influences the opportunities we have to flourish and express ourselves, and be a part of a group or community. This year we have teamed up with organisations such as ActionAid, Hus Forbi, Transparency International Denmark and Oxfam IBIS. Also, several of the activities and art projects on the festival site are focused on economic equality. You can find out just how corrupt you really are or you can learn how to ululate. You can play for the riches of the world, listen to riveting debates or you can try the unfairness on your own body on a football pitch riddled with mines.
OPENING DEBATE AT FLOKKR Far from Equality and Freestyle Rap with Mund De Carlo and MC Ollie On the panel freestyle rappers Mund de Carlo and MC Ollie meet Lars Koch, tax expert and head of politics at ActionAid, Khaterah Parwani, lawyer and debater, as well as young witnesses from social housing estates and Hus Forbi. when and where? sunday 1 july, 11:30
THE WORLD GAME
Keep your eyes peeled. Maybe the World Game will pass by your camp. Here you get to decide what the world should look like. You can harvest the planet’s resources to ensure the wealth and power you deserve to have. Or you can work towards a more equal distribution of resources. Every player starts with a country and a bag of gold. The game will then show you what the consequences are when only a few players hold all the power and money. when and where? sunday 1 july-tuesday 3 july the camping areas
It’s all about making change. We believe that changes for the community are best made within the community itself, and that a festival can initiate and amplify a movement of people, who want to make things better for others than just themselves and those closest to them.

Not up for playing yourself? No problem. We have a wide range of activities for you: Morning exercises with Barthelot, a debate about land mines, Dizzy Goals, Performance Arts and high profile football matches with current opinion leaders. All of this is to support the fight against land mines and economic inequality.
EQUALITY WALLS
Near Orange Stage you will encounter copies of various prototypes of the wall that Donald Trump plans to construct between the United States and Mexico. The walls, which originally had a nationalist agenda, will be included as aesthetic objects at Roskilde 2018. They seek to invite dialogue and to question a worldwide tendency to block borders and create greater inequality in a global world where technological development has long since dissolved boundaries between countries. Expect unannounced artistic actions by various artists at the walls.
EQUALITY
when and where? sunday 1 july, 10:00 equality stadium
Many of the activites are gathered at Equality Stadium. Equality Stadium challenges you to experience inequality on your own body on our inequal football pitch. The FIFA World Cup is taking place in Russia and the whole world is watching. DanChurchAid takes advantage of the increased attention and the momentum that football has this summer to focus on land mines and inequality. Football is played in all nations. But not all children and adults can run around freely and safely. Land mines don’t just kill people. They also impede access to resources and limit free movement, which keeps civilians trapped in poverty and increases inequality in the world.

JULIANA HUXTABLE US
Juliana Huxtable has created an exclusive work for KlubRÅ. Poetry, music, lights and visuals are all part of a journey into a world of addiction, desire and pride between alien beings. A world of strange symbols, weird bodies, political landscapes and sci-fi.
Singer, composer and multi-artist Jenny Hval and multi-instrumentalist Håvard Volden’s new project is, according to the duo, “the sound of someone changing their mind.” Lost Girls deliver spoken words, deep rhythms and a general feeling of being out of place. Jenny Hval also does a reading.

KLUBRÅ
M€RCY DK
M€RCY are notorious for breathing their machines to life with a gloomy spirit. Their mutual passion is techno, to create unique worlds of sound to dream yourself away inside. Dark, mesmerising stuff that (scary) dreams are made of. Catch the DJ set Friday and the live set Saturday.
MOONCHILD SANELLY ZA
Moonchild Sanelly describes her style as ghetto funk, a combination of music, fashion and dance. Fusing elements of experimental electronic, afropunk and edgy-pop with hints of her strong kwaito, hip-hop and jazz background, her sound and message are unique.
NILS GRÖNDAHL DK
Nils Gröndahl is a violinist and noisemaker. He is simply one man on the stage with his violin and many loop pedals. He builds up walls of sound and noise with his amplifiers. Some say he plays the violin as a guitar.
THE RESTAURANT BY WILL BENEDICT & STEFFEN JØRGENSEN
WILL BENEDICT & STEFFEN JØRGENSEN FEAT. WOLF EYES DK/US
The Restaurant is a video series consisting of six episodes. The video series works as a television show about our own metabolic, moral economy, a world-inside-a-belly. The Restaurant opens directly to the hot core of the dining experience where grotesque global inequalities meet in our daily lives.
XENIA XAMANEK DK
SANDRA MUJINGA NO
Having studied the rules of composition and been formally trained on saxophone, Xenia Xamanek is an artist who ignores all rules in her idiosyncratic style of music. She has released music under her alias Equis. Look forward to deconstructed techno, harsh noise and immersive ambient.
SEVERIN DK
Yangze delivers a special brand of electro pop. His electronic past and current interest in avantgarde music are fused with a carefully sculpted type of earwormy pop. The Fader has called his sounds “perfect escape music”, so come along for a getaway.
Sandra Mujinga’s sculptures made from PVC, burnt acrylic paint and glycerine are based on sci-fi descriptions of aliens. When the underlying tissue degrades, their skin becomes thinner and the distinction between inner and outer body weakens, hence the title Atrophic Giants. Mujinga also DJ’s.
Severin is the solo project of Jens Konrad Barrett. Drifting between IDM, noise, punk and ambient, his significant style is both haunting and appealing. Safe Following Distance is the solo debut EP under his Severin moniker, which has received attention from various international media.
YANGZE DK
TROELS HASS DK
Troels Hass is a key figure on the Copenhagen electronic music scene. He is the owner of Percy Records, a record store in Copenhagen dedicated to electronic music. And he also keeps busy spinning music behind turntables and decks as a DJ.

CHELSEA MANNING

“SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO PAY A HEAVY PRICE TO LIVE IN A FREE SOCIETY” CHELSEA MANNING TO GIVE EXCLUSIVE TALK
One of the last presidential acts of Barack Obama was to commute Chelsea Manning’s prison sentence. Chelsea Manning was sentenced to 35 years in prison in 2013 for leaking classified documents related to the United States’ military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. She has told The New York Times that she disclosed the information out of love for her country and, perhaps in particular, a sense of duty to others. She has stated that “sometimes you have to pay a heavy price to live in a free society”.
Chelsea Manning has identified as a woman since her release, and is an active part of the fight for public transparency in a digitalised world, as well as transgender rights. She will give an exclusive talk about AI and ethics as well as activism on Thursday 5 July at Roskilde Festival. It will be her first European presentation since her sentence was commuted in 2017. Chelsea Manning has quite a dramatic personal story, which is both relevant and current in today’s world.
ASK CHELSEA MANNING A QUESTION — IF THE ALGORITHM WILL LET YOU
“I came out p ublicly as transgender and began hormone replacement therapy while in prison. When I was released, however, there was no quantifiable history of me existing as a transwoman. Credit and background checks automatically assumed i was committing fraud.”
Chelsea Manning
In Algorithms We Trust is a website where visitors are faced with a lot of personal questions they need to answer before they get the opportunity to ask a question to Chelsea Manning in relation with her talk at Roskilde Festival. The work highlights some of Chelsea Manning’s points in terms of the impact of technology on society. An algorithm determines who is considered credible enough to ask questions to Chelsea Manning. Try it on inalgorithmswetrust.com.

CHELSEA MANNING
“I believe that when the public lacks even the most fundamental access to what its governments and militaries are doing in their names, then they cease to be involved in the act of citizenship.” Chelsea Manning
WHERE AND WHEN?
Catch Chelsea Manning’s talk on the Gloria stage on Thursday 5 July. We advise you to be there early as we have limited space.

APPEARANCES DECEIVE US
Do you feel comfortable in your own skin? How would you look if you were perceived from the outside through an abstracted filter? Would you look human... or perhaps alien? Prepare for a performance unlike anything else you’ll encounter at Roskilde Festival. Music and technology meet in this special concert installation where Romanian artist Alexandra Pirici’s musical avatar Adda Kaleh takes the stage at KlubRÅ. She’s equipped with a head rig with a motion-capture camera installed on it. The camera captures all her facial expressions and emotions, which are then fed to a machine for further interpretations (or should we say abstractions). The final result is projected to a screen. The movements of two other live performers are also filtered through kinect sensors and projected anew. Human becomes something almost alien-like or, as in Pirici’s own words, more-than-human. The concert installation is called “New Skin” and reflects on the “human” in what is perhaps one of its most specific emotional states: the making of and reaction to music. It seems like something everybody can relate to at Roskilde Festival. Adda Kaleh sings and performs (alongside two other performers) and the outcome connects live bodies with their digital extensions.
Alexandra Pirici’s previous performative art works have resounded everywhere from the Venice Biennale to Centre Pompidou. So do take notice! With Pirici’s musical avatar Adda Kaleh, music and performance come together to form a whole. Don’t be frightened if it alienates you a bit – hopefully you will find some beauty, and perhaps even sci-fi visions of the future inside the expression as well. Adda Kaleh aka Alexandra Pirici’s work “New Skin” is made in collaboration with Andrei Dinu, Ion Cotenescu, Jared Marks and Maria Mora.
WHO IS ALEXANDRA PIRICI?
Classically trained as a dancer and choreographer, Pirici started in the world of theater, but she found herself naturally transitioning into the art world as her work grew increasingly experimental, and the limits of the theatre stage began to feel too constrictive. She has exhibited at numerous galleries and museums, including the New Museum New York and the Tate Modern, London. Pirici’s work is always live. She is interested in how a performative action plays out (be it in minutes or hours) and, ideally, lives on. We can almost guarantee that “New Skin” will somehow stay with all Roskilde-goers.

SPECIAL SHOWS SPECIAL SHOWS
AT ROSKILDE 2018
Every year we book a handful of shows for Roskilde Festival, that are something else in very different ways. 2018 is no exception. If you’re the careful concert adventurer at Roskilde, you have probably already read through all the artists’ presentations and found these shows. This is a quick guide for the rest of you. Here’s a list of special shows at Roskilde Festival that you shouldn’t miss out on.
OPERA AND RAP – TOGETHER!
Opera and rap mix? Of course they do! Operap is made up of six of Denmark’s most streetwise rappers who will join forces with six of Scandinavia’s loudest classical singers. DJ Noize takes care of the beats, backed by 22 string players. This is a world premier, and it’s presented in collaboration with CPH Opera Festival.
GOSPEL SINGING TO HOUSE BEATS
Another mix of genres. This show is all about house music and gospel. Yes, you read that correctly! House Gospel Choir is the place where spirituality and the euphoria of the dancefloor come together. 17 singers, a DJ and a group of percussionists will do their utmost to raise the roof (if we ever had one!).
NORWEGIAN JAZZ MAN PLAYS THREE SHOWS
What’s better than a free-for-all jazz concert? The answer is three of them! We’ve asked free jazz drummer Paal Nilssen-Love to come up with three different concert formats, with himself as the anchor man. Prepare for a bit of funkiness from Brazil, noise from Japan and, of course, massive energy from his Large Unit big band.
41
Myrkur (via Facebook)
A TRIPLE PUNK BLAST
When the moon is up the punk kids come out to play. Three Danish bands – Ond Tro, Motorsav and Nyt Liv – breathe a boiling energy into the intimate Gloria stage. Prepare for melodically chugging K-town punk, bleak hardcore punk and muscular, fierce hardcore. Plenty of stuff to rage out to!
THE MIDDLE EAST SHOWING ITS COLOURS
We don’t get to hear much contemporary Middle Eastern music of the funky, rocking, weird and independent kind. In 2018 we present three exciting acts: Yasmine Hamdan plays adventurous electro pop, Lekhfa delivers edgy, off-kilter, psychedelic dance music, and Dwarfs of East Agouza channel Egyptian vibes into pulsating psych-folk jams.
BLACK METAL AND TRADITIONAL FOLK SONGS
Danish one-woman army Myrkur does it all. On one hand you have black metal, on the other you have folk songs. Darkness, screaming and growling go hand in hand with gorgeous melodies and enchanting siren song. At Roskilde you get a loud Friday and an acoustic concert Saturday.
JAPANESE NOISE HAVOC
In the presence of the Japanese noise juggernaut Merzbow and all-embracing rockers Boris, you will get a bucketful of sound coming at you. They have made the double album Gensho together, with Boris on one album and Merzbow on the other, and they must be played simultaneously. Here, you get the whole thing live!
WITCHCRAFT MUSIC PUTTING A SPELL ON YOU
MYRKUR · PHOTO: DARIA ENDRESEN
This is something else. First, a shaman performs an opening ritual. Then Danish/German/ Nor wegian outfit Heilung’s music sucks you in with drones, ancient frame drums, stomping, dark synths and voices whispering, chanting, singing and screaming. This is not just a concert. It’s a ritual, and you better not miss out on it!
THREE TAKES ON PSYCHEDELIC SPECIAL SHOWS METAL FROM FINLAND
“I am excited toannounce that I am coming back! Back to where I played my very first concert. Back to when my mic-stand Yggdrasil was built. Back to my first time performing with the Norwegian girls choir. It’s safe to say this festival means a great deal to me and I can’t wait to play Roskilde 2018!”

THE MANY FLAVOURS OF HIP-HOP HIP-HOP AT ROSKILDE 2018
AT ROSKILDE 2018
It goes without saying that hip-hop is more popular than ever on the global music scene. It dominates the charts, sells out arenas and shows dazzling streaming numbers all over. And the genre is clearly reflected in the music requests we receive. If you look over our line-up of 184 artists, you’ll find hip-hop in all sizes and flavours. This is a quick guide for all appreciators of the bouncy, beat-heavy and wordy genre. We’d like to take you through five categorisations:
UK RAP
So much good stuff is happening in the UK at the moment. Stormzy climbed to no. 1 on the British charts with his debut album, and he is, of course, an unavoidable figure when it comes to UK rap. His approach to the grime genre is simply stellar. Another version of stellar is Nines, a gangster road rapper and one of the most authentic names bursting from the underground straight into the charts. Stefflon Don brings a much-needed feminine touch to the scene. She’s brash and glamorous, and her fusion of dancehall sexuality, American gangsta rap attitude and a sprinkling of an Afrobeats vibe is the natural sound of melting pot London. Rounding things off, is the multi-artist package called New Gen, a young and timely snapshot of London’s burgeoning underground music scene, presenting no less than eight MCs and a DJ in one concert.
STRAIGHT-UP HIP-HOP
We also of fer classic approaches to hip-hop from some of the very best emcees out there. Eminem is the obvious headliner – taking on both recent apocalyptic anger and early screwball humour with his idio syncratic rap style, Em will surely pull you into his evocative drama! Black Star is Talib Kweli and Mos Def (now Yasiin Bey) who laid the blueprint for the next phase of black power rap in 1998. Now, the duo is back! With experimental productions and bleak lyrical brilliance, Vince Staples deserves to be right up alongside Kendrick Lamar in popularity – he’s that great! Speaking of great, Joey Bada$$ chose his name to get noticed. The music in itself does the trick. He’s speaking truth to power, and he straddles both golden age hip-hop and a taste for catchy urban flavours.
THE CROSS-OVERS
We absolutely love the artists who transcend genres as well as those who stick with their expression and cross over into chart territory. We have several representations in hip-hop. Anderson .Paak is a shiny example of how you fuse rap, funk and R&B with a front man who can both sing, rap and play the drums, sometimes all at once.
43 First-ever OVO signee PartyNextDoor is a trustful supplier of boast-filled slow jams, and Danny Brown is a straight-out mental genre-denier and a trailblazer at that. His agitated, squawking voice is a true pleasure. Not really a rap act, but an everything-at-once party machine: Gorillaz usually involves a rapper or two in their beat-heavy sounds.
THE DANISH SCHOOL
Future flagbearers of red & white rap are Loke Deph, who turns everyday humdrum into shiny poetry, and Emil Kruse who rolls out his disillusioned love songs in an exciting mix. And oh, did you notice the project Operap? Street-wise rappers team up with opera singers.
ATLANTA-ISM
You know we’re going to dwell a bit on the most popular sub-genre of hip-hop in recent years now, right? Roskilde has had its share of trap rappers over the years, and this year we have a couple of as well. 6lack is the real deal with hazy, down-tempo rap and modern R&B sounds. Flying from Atlanta to the 19th arrondissement of Paris, we’ll find a special brand of Afro trap coming from MHD who delivers an awesome mix of West African sounds and hard-edged trap. Perfect way to get some French lessons!
FIRST HIP-HOP at ROSKILDE... EVER
DANNY BROWN
The first hip-hop heard at Roskilde Festival was in 1989. The band was Danish and called Rockers by Choice. The first international act followed the year after: In 1990 we were treated to De La Soul. Since then, we’ve seen visits from the likes of Jay-Z, Kanye West, Outkast, Beastie Boys, Snoop Dogg and Nicki Minaj.
HIP-HOP AT ROSKILDE 2018
The Danish school of hiphop is well represented at Roskilde Festival. We have ever y thing from Benal ’s heavy beats, bubbly hooks and clever lyrics (special show awaits!) to newcomer ArtigeArdit’s thoughtful rap about late-night, big city binges. More good stuff is cooking in the underground.

THE ROSKILDE SONGBOOK
A SING-ALONG INVITATION
This is the fifth year of this new, strong tradition. In 2014 we sang Pete Seeger songs as a celebration of community and the idea of the song as a tool to share opinions and knowledge as well as to change the world around us. Now we’re trying to define the Roskilde songbook. We asked all you Roskilde-goers for input before the festival, and this year’s songbook has been put together based on your suggestions. the roskilde songbook at gloria thursday 5 july 10:30 - 11:30 friday 6 july 10:30 - 11:30 saturday 7 july 10:30 - 11:30
PHOTO: KIM MATTHÄI LELAND
The repertoire consists of songs from all decades – classic songs filled with emotions, which are recognisable and easy to sing along to. This year we’ve added an extra theme for the occasion: songs written and/or sung by female artists. With a skewed gender balance on the music scene in general, let’s sing a praise for those female musicians who stand out and ultimately act as role models for newcomers.So, come over and sing along with all the rest of us. Everyone’s invited – even if you’re convinced that you can’t sing.
HOSTED BY FREDERIK THAAE
Frederik Thaae gave as many as three different concerts at Roskilde Festival 2008 under the artist alias A Kid Hereafter. He has since moved to the US to pursue a career as a songwriter and producer.
THE ROSKILDE SONGBOOK
Come and sing your heart out! We’re clearing the Gloria stage for this very purpose – for all your voices, deep, high, shrill, loud and quiet ones alike.
This year’s theme focuses on female artists and song writers.

CTRLS DK
Ctrls (pronounced ‘controls’) is Troels Knudsen, an electronic musician who has been immersed in music for pretty much most of his life.

Look forward to a hard-hitting, closing live set at Countdown.
DANIEL SAVI (resident DJ) DK
Daniel Savi is a Danish/Scottish DJ who is very keen on house music. He will deliver energetic lessons in classic deepness, acid and vocal house. He is a part of the label Copenhagen Underground Posse. He will take residency at the Countdown stage on Sunday 1 July.
THE MUSIC
COUNTDOWN
ARTIGEARDIT DK
Artigeardit is a Danish rapper with roots in Albania and one of the most promising voices on the Danish rap scene right now. His delivery is characterised by sharpness and indomitable selfconfidence despite his slow and drawling sound. A debut album is expected out later this year.
B FROM E · PHOTO: NICOLAI LEVIN
B FROM E DK
B from E sounds like a twisted arithmetical problem. Or are those notes? Behind the mysterious moniker hides Frej Levin, an electronic producer who makes bits and samples form a harmonious and highly danceable whole. B from E serves up groovy house music that aims to make you move!
BAIME DK
Baime is known for exploring the paths of melodic techno with a twist of old-school house and touches of acid. The duo’s first original track, “The Damned” (2017), went straight on the Beatport
DISCOTHÈQUE MOBUMFE (resident DJ) DK
This DJ’s mix under the title “Afreako World Disco”, is a nice summation of his musical melting pot. Discothèque Mobumfe brings disco and boogie with a twist of African music in various forms. He also adds modern genres to the mix including house, UK dubstep, drum & bass and more.
iris gold has already won over British radio taste maker DJs such as Huw Stephens (BBC Radio 1) and Zane Lowe (Beats 1).
ECSTASY IN ORDER DK
This band could easily convince you that that they were raving it up at The Haçienda in Manchester (or rather... Madchester) in the late 80s. Ecstasy in Order is a brandnew trio who joyfully soundtracks the intoxicated nightlife by means of drum machines, acidic synths, noisy guitars and distorted bass lines.
47
ELLIS MAY
GOSS
GOSS DK
Ellis May conjures up dreamy, dark and insistently intense songs, all roaming the borderlands of chamber pop and electronica. She produces her songs using samples, a drum machine and a synthesizer.

Dewa Alit is the main man behind Gamelan Salukat, which consists of 21 musicians and three dancers. They strike with utter precision and the metallic acoustics ring up a whirl of sounds. It can be beautifully chinkish and other times almost nightmarish. When all members join in, the band sounds like a gigantic clockwork in motion.
E—G THE MUSIC
Fleet Foxes are masters of great harmonies that conjure up images of vast forests, waterfalls and basically any place you would feel free to simply be. Robin Pecknold is one of the most gifted songwriters of his generation. The band has three albums of gorgeous music under their belt. Since they’re not touring much in these parts of the world, there is much to look forward to when they visit Roskilde Festival for the first time in nine years.
64 GORILLAZ UK
The best virtual band in the world is back! No, scratch that: this is one of the best and most illustrious bands around, period. With Gorillaz, you can look forward to everything: they’re throwing a more colourful party than anyone else, and you’re invited. From hip-hop to alt-rock, from trip hop to punk. Gorillaz is a musically and visually overwhelming celebration of what we can achieve together.

HALEY HEYNDERICKX US
Anyone with a green thumb will be into this! I Need to Start a Garden is Haley Heynderickx’ much praised debut album. The Portland-based singer-songwriter does simple, folksy finger-picking while moving through moments of rainy-day existentialism. Look forward to an up-close and intimate session in the best of companies with Haley Heynderickx.
kali uchis, vince staples and danny brown are just a few of gorillaz’ collaborators on their 2017 album Humanz .
HEILUNG
HEILUNG INT
This is something else. Heilung comes from another time (and place, perhaps?): The Iron Age and Viking period. They sing, whisper and roar lyrics found on runic stones, old spear shafts and amulets. Their music is difficult to pinpoint. You can hear drones, ancient frame drums, stomping, dark synths and voices whispering, ethereal singing, screaming and more. Some call it witchcraft music. We call it music that simply sucks you in.

65 INDIKA (resident DJ)
UK
Hailing from Greater Manchester, Indika has established herself as a force to be reckoned with in the drum & bass scene in just a year. With support from various other DJ’s and producers, her precision selection of sought-after dubplates and air-tight mixing are raising her through the ranks and onto stages worldwide. At Roskilde Festival Indika fills the Apollo stage with sound between concerts.
INTERPOL US
HOUSE GOSPEL CHOIR
House music clubs have been called churches for people who have fallen from grace. Anyone who has been caught up in the rapture of a true house classic can testify to its power to unify and uplift. House Gospel Choir is the place where spirituality and the euphoria of the dancefloor come together. The choir brings together 17 outstanding singers amped up even further by a DJ, percussion and keyboards.
THE HUNNA UK
If you’re a sucker for sugary pop-punk with big choruses you have to take a bite of The Hunna. The band was first introduced to the world with their debut album 100, and they have made a big splash in their home country being hailed as UK’s next big rock sensation. In concert, everything they bring has even more oomph to it. The Hunna are masters at delivering excitable highs and emotional lows.
I’M WITH HER US
Sara Watkins (violin), Sarah Jarosz (banjo, mandolin and guitar) and Aoife O’Donovan (guitar) all have successful solo careers in acoustic, hand-played folk music. In I’m With Her, the three musicians make beautiful music. When the three women sing together, their voices become one instrument, pure as snow, be it three-part harmonies or solo turns by the microphone.

JAMES HOLDEN AND THE ANIMAL SPIRITS UK
He sits cross-legged on stage, working from behind his modular synth, surrounded by stellar musicians who conjure up trance music jams. James Holden started out as an electronica wonder kid, but then started a self-described “rebellion against dance music”. His gone down another adventurous path, serving up a giddy maelstrom of gnawa, cosmic prog, krautrock, astral jazz, techno and psych-folk.

HOUSE GOSPEL CHOIR UK
Interpol stand tall among the New York guitar acts that blew up in the early 2000s. They have become one of the defining rock bands of the new century. These mavericks, all dressed in sharp black suits, hit the ground running with two classics of nightprowling, post-punk melodrama, 2002’s Turn On the Bright Lights and 2004’s Antics. Their sixth album will see the light of day in 2018, so expect both new songs and modern classics from Interpol.
66 JUANA MOLINA AR
On her latest album Halo, Argentinian folktronica artist Juana Molina fills each track with an occultlike intrigue – as if each of its disparate elements are somehow from a more sinister and surreal world. The way she re-animates the rotting corpse of bossa nova while pulling the strings of her Gibson SG with devastating power and precision is marvellous. While you’re distracted, her eerie vocals create a heady potion that pulls you directly into her sonic trap. To dance? Or not to dance?

JOEY BADA$$
JOEY BADA$$ US
Brooklyn rapper Joey Bada$$ is one of hiphop’s most incisive, most politically engaged young voices. Despite being just 23, he has been a fixture in rap circles for half a decade now. He stands out with self-confident rhymes and flows. To begin with, he went for a golden-era rap sound. But on his latest album, All-Amerikkkan Badass, he has developed his style with a taste for urban flavours.
JOHN MAUS US
John Maus has been hailed as a synth-pop retrofuturist and a punk intellectual. He is known for the intensity of his live sets. Maus is joined by a bassist, drummer and keyboardist. The band takes care of the music while Maus tears at his eyeballs, pulls his hair, headbangs and grabs for his heart. John Maus’ synth-pop is bizarre and beautiful all at once.
WHAT’S IN A NAME?
Jo-Vaughn Virginie Scott initially started rapping under the alias JayOhVee but eventually changed it to Joey Bada$$. He has stated that the name change is due to the media’s focus on rappers with more cynical names. Apropos cynical: Did you catch him starring alongside Rami Malek in the dark and dystopian TV series Mr. Robot ?

JUJU & JORDASH NL
There are only few electronic live acts as spontaneous and distinctive as Juju & Jordash, a pair of jazz aficionados who use house and techno as a starting point to launch off into the unknown. Rather than triggering pre-made loops or replaying studio works when performing, they create on the fly, cook up drum beats, jam out chords and melodies and take their sound wherever they feel like.
KAKKMADDAFAKKA NO
Bergen is a beautiful but rainy city. If you imagine that melancholy feeling of grey, rainy days spent sitting in the windowsill, well, Kakkmaddafakka are the exact opposite! Energetic, charming and technically gifted, Kakkmaddafakka are known for their contagiously joyful, brilliant live shows. The band is returning to Roskilde with a new album, Hus. That means more catchy tunes for a live show!
67 KALI UCHIS
CO/US
Kali Uchis is the fast-rising Colombian-American singer whose distinctive vocals and unique aesthetic have seen her ascend as one of R&B’s most exciting new stars. Uchis makes use of traditions such as doo-wop, Motown, reggae and jazz to make heartfelt contemporary music. With her crisp, soulful voice, sharp beats and basslines, she’s ready to walk in the footsteps of artists like Erykah Badu and Amy Winehouse.
KHALID
US
This 20-year-old pop prodigy has a wonderful voice and a knack for big, breezy songs. Khalid released his platinum-selling debut album American Teen in 2017, and it pulses with euphoric dance beats, 80s synths and tales of marijuana-and booze-fuelled high school raging. You may have heard his swooning paean to misspent youth, “Young Dumb & Broke”, or his breakthrough hit, the sultry “Location”. Singalongs await!

Sounds coming from concrete bunkers of Moscow. At least that’s the image you get when listening to Kedr Livanskiy. This 27-year-old producer delivers melodic, otherworldly dream-pop sensibilities and thumping, hypnotic underground club music that project Russian landscapes, sweeping mythologies and analogue synthesizers. It’s ok to dance as long as you don’t smile too much.

Kelly Lee Owens’ feather-light music drifts between cavernous techno, spectral pop and the mechanical pulse of krautrock. Owens defies genres, yet she manages to turn everything into a dazzling, alchemical whole. When playing live, Kelly Lee Owens is a builder of atmosphere, and you can look forward to being completely immersed in her moods.
Kinshasa-based KOKOKO! manage to convey their love of electronic music with little resources. Instead of samplers and 808s, they’ve made instruments out of discarded waste from the streets of Kinshasa. Typewriters and bottles become percussion, bin lids and tin cans form part of an ensemble. Kinshasa is indeed a city you listen to. And when it comes alive at Roskilde 2018 it will be a spectacle for both the eyes, ears and your dancing feet.
LARGE UNIT BRAZIL EDITION INT
Paal Nilssen-Love is a prodigious drum virtuoso. He works wonders in the realms of jazz and especially free jazz. The drummer formed his big band Large Unit in 2013. The ensemble is made up of 14+ excellent musicians, mostly from Norway’s younger generation of improvising musicians. Paal NilssenLove composes the pieces, but always in an open process with lots of room for improvisation.
68 LAUREL HALO US
Berlin-based, American experimentalist Laurel Halo has a propensity for the disarmingly strange and beautiful. She cuts up sounds, which she abstracts and bleeds out and puts back together into a sort of offbeat dub techno. On Halo’s latest album, Dust from 2017, she reimagines jazz songcraft by building it into an electronic machine for the 21st century.
MADALITSO BAND MW
Madalitso Band was discovered busking outside a shopping centre in 2009. Yobu Maligwa sings and plays the babatone, a home-made one-stringed instrument played with a metal baton, and Joseph Kalekeni plays the four-string guitar, creating the traditional Malawi banjo sound. It’s hard not to be taken in by their sunny tunes.

As Egypt endures soaring prices and crackdowns on freedom of expression, Lekhfa delivers a biting cynicism about the state of the world.

Someone, kill the lights! LLNN’s brand of music needs darkness. Complete darkness. LLNN is a Danish four-piece, which will take you on a journey into the unknown realms of outer space with their sound of post-apocalyptic, claustrophobic hardcore mixed up with sludge metal, combined with eerie sci-fi elements and massive drones. They’re a havoc-wreaking whirlwind of heavy riffs, waves of distortion, utter destruction and negative moods.
New York’s Madball are true legends on the city’s hardcore scene, known popularly as simply NYHC. These are hardcore veterans of 20+ years and are as dedicated to their scene and community as to their punk riffs. The band’s debut Set It Off is hailed as one of the defining records of NYHC and a true classic. They have just released their ninth album. Madball will put on an intense, infectious show and make it evident that, in the words of their 2014 release, Hardcore Lives.
MARIBOU STATE UK
Just like their brothers in Disclosure, Maribou State have discovered a golden recipe that merges dance music with live instrumentation and songcraft. They make gilt-edged tunes that not only make you shake what your momma gave you, they also have that special ability of sticking in your mind.

Encompassing elements of country, folk and, of course, the blues, Williams delivers an incomparable collection of tales of love and loss. Careful, though, he might break your heart.
Mavi Phoenix is a 23-year-old singer and rapper from Austria. Her refreshing sound moves fluidly between rap, R&B and contemporary pop. After the release of her EP Young Prophet (2017), The Fader described her as a “lo-fi pop heroine” ready for the big time. Her latest singles are both mellow, summery and upbeat.
MASSIVE ATTACK UK
Sacré bleu! Straight outta the 19th arron dissement, this 23-year-old Parisian rapper produces self-described ‘Afro trap’, a mix of West African sounds and hard-edged trap. He spans both ends of the scale, from greezy street rap to afrobeat pop smashes. MHD has played shows in Senegal, Morocco, Canada, England and France, and now it’s Roskilde’s turn.
The emperors of trip-hop are back. Working out of Bristol in the early 90s, they pioneered this downbeat, murky and harmonious sound. Their debut album Blue Lines and the follow-up Mezzanine are considered modern classics with evergreen singles like “Unfinished Sympathy”, “Teardrop” and “Protection”. Nowadays, the core duo of Robert “3D” Del Naja and Grant “Daddy G” Marshall are back and in an expansive mood, and they will play into the pitch-black night at Roskilde.

Nine Inch Nails, the most important industrial rock band over the years, is spearheaded by mastermind Trent Reznor, who is skilled at twisting his kaleidoscope of greys into different shades of anguish. NIN’s live productions have always been nothing short of stellar. With a fiery live band combined with a perfectly oiled heavy machinery, NIN will most certainly make their gig on Arena stage one to remember.

Late at night, long after sundown, we’ll turn the speakers to 11 on the Gloria stage for a threepissed-off-bands-in-a-row bash, all full of whippedup punk rock. Nyt Liv is the most muscular outfit in this punk troika. The guitars are tuned down, the vocals are fiercer and the approach more hardcore. Nyt liv released their debut EP Livet Brænder in 2017. Six songs full of anger, bile, spite and with an outlook as dark as the night they will play into.
ODESZA US
Wide-screen, pop-infused electronica made big by word-of-mouth. Odesza’s 2017 album A Moment Apart displays an expansive sound, balancing delicately between the ebullient and ethereal, from its dreamlike melodies and glitchy sun-kissed vocals to its powerful synths and crunchy drums. Their live shows are a celebration of life. Expect dynamic, layered songs with raw overtones and cinematic appeal accompanied by stunning visuals.
Trent Reznor of nine inch nails created both music and sound effects for the seminal 1996 first-person shooter Quake – hence the nailgun and NIN-branded ammo boxes in the game.

R—S THE MUSIC
RVG is an Aussie five-piece with a sound that is timeless while at the same time referencing bands like The Go-Betweens, Echo and The Bunnymen and Patti Smith. There’s a true buzz surrounding the band, and you will certainly understand why: Their music captures and challenges what it means to be alive in 2018. Come be treated with some indie rock full of sun-dappled hooks!
80 SCOUR US
Pantera, Pig Destroyer, Cattle Decapitation, Animosity, Strong Intention. Take this metal buffet and pile it together and you’ll have one hell of a supergroup on your plate: Scour. Fronted by legendary singer and growler Phil Anselmo, Scour is (in his own words) thrashy black metal. Their songs are fast and achieve a lot in very little time. Don’t blink or you’ll miss one of the masters of growl when Scour swing by Denmark for the first time.
TOO EXTREME FOR DISNEY
Skeletonwitch holds the rare distinction of being too extreme to stomach for the mighty media conglomerate founded by Walt Disney in 1923. The band was banned outright from playing the House of Blues in Orlando in 2015 after they were deemed “unfit to be associated with Disney” who owns the venue.
S
SKELETONWITCH US
THE MUSIC
Since their inception over a decade ago, Skeletonwitch have released five albums of epic, blackened, thrash-infused heavy metal. They have blown up stages in support of such living legends as Ozzy Osbourne and Danzig as well as many of the biggest acts in heavy music, including Ghost, Amon Amarth, Abbath and Cannibal Corpse. Chock-full of menacing riffs, a whipping pace and furious vocals, Skeletonwitch pulls you in like a tidal wave! SIGRID
SIGRID NO
Whoever wins the esteemed ‘BBC Sound of’ award will get big. Just ask Adele, Sam Smith and Ellie Goulding. Now, it’s Norwegian pop singer Sigrid’s turn to hit the fast track to future world domination. Sigrid played Roskilde Festival’s Apollo stage last year. She calls that particular concert her biggest ‘pinch myself’ moment of 2017. Sigrid is returning to Roskilde 2018. She’s more than ready for a bigger stage, both figuratively and literally.
ŠIROM SI
Širom is a multi-instrumentalist trio playing textured, instrumental post-folk, roaming somewhere between improvisation and songcraft. You will encounter a wide range of instruments rarely seen in Western music. They look like hacked neo-violins and creaking wooden things with double strings (for drone effect!). The trio thoughtfully use these to create brooding and swirling atmospheres.
SLAVES UK
Slaves make the kind of in-your-face punk rock that will get you going immediately, full of thrashing guitars and raspy vocals. Debut album Are You Satisfied? earned the band a Mercury Award nomination, and the follow-up Take Control really climbed the UK charts. Open your ears and work your way to the front of the stage: Slaves will set you free.
SLYDIGS UK
Rock’n’roll is alive and well. Slydigs are living proof. They are currently creating a buzz with their potent, riff-laden rock and sweat-dripping energy. Their variation of rock and roll transcends time. In some songs you get a true 60s vibe whereas others have a more modern rock flare. If you dig dirty guitar riffs and a blues-y energy along with tons of attitude, Slydigs is your go-to band.
81 SMERZ
NO
Smerz have been generating attention for their genre-melding, enigmatic sound inspired by R&B and techno. The Norwegian duo get the message effortlessly across without having to raise their voices. They cut them up instead and let them float about like small clouds over a pumping beat. Expect an intimate universe of sound when Smerz let loose their distorted electronic pop music.
STEFFLON DON
UK
The rise of the brash and glamorous 26-yearold Stefflon Don is a welcome breath of fresh air on a mostly male-dominated UK rap scene. Her fusion of dancehall sexuality, American gangsta rap attitude and a sprinkling of Afrobeat vibe feels like the natural sound of the London melting pot. She raps with wit and ferocity about female empowerment, street life and sex.

ST. VINCENT · PHOTO: NEDDA AFSARI
ST. VINCENT US
St. Vincent is boundary-pushing avant-garde pop seduction and guitar wizardry for the indie masses. Annie Clark – better known as St. Vincent – comes across as both welcoming and alienating, both warm and cold. She thrives on these contradictions, and once you start listening you’ll be sucked into the mysterious and utterly brilliant whirlpool of this modern pop icon.
STEFFI DE
Berghain resident moves in. Known as simply Steffi, Steffie Doms is a DJ and producer associated with the prestigious Berlin nightclub Berghain. She delivers a warm, reflective mix of atmospheric techno, house and electro, heavy on soothing synth pads and gently hypnotic rhythms. Look forward to Steffi’s live show when she takes the Apollo stage. Her zeroes and ones show a true human pulse beating behind it all.
STONE SOUR
STONE SOUR US
These explosive rock titans are ready to riff it up! Hydrograd (2017) is Stone Sour’s latest album, full of towering melodies and moments of majesty. The band adroitly straddle the divide between metal and melodic hard rock and are stellar live, with front man Corey Taylor who epitomises a human windmill when he headbangs. As we’ve also seen in Slipknot, his impressive vocal skills range from raspy singing to hoarse screams.
STORMZY UK
This unstoppable grime force from South London started out as a freestyle rapper. Now, with his own distinct take on grime, he has established himself as a star on the scene despite only releasing one album. When Stormzy plays this year he’ll be weeks away from turning a quarter of a century and yet looks like he’s been performing for a full century without ever tiring. Wherever there is a stage, Stormzy can fill it out.
82 SUPER PARQUET FR
Bagpipe, banjo and unidentified local instruments flirt with electronic sounds and the result will put you into a trance! Defining their style is not easy, but letting yourself go when they play live definitely is. Their gigs lie midway between a village fair and a rave party, and are more than just concerts with their shamanic ceremonials.
TUNE-YARDS US
Art-pop by means of pedal loops and expressions from all over the world becomes songs that skedaddle up and down sonic hills and valleys. Tuneyards’ frenzied, danceable deconstruction of artpop, rock, Afrobeat, hip-hop and much more has now gotten a gentle push towards club territory. Look forward to a danceable, thought-provoking and unpredictable concert when they take the stage at Roskilde Festival.

Bo Madsen left Mew in 2015, and thus one of Denmark’s most original guitarists headed out on his own. Madsen teamed up with a group of children (12-17 years) from the very same school where the members of Mew first met. It’s a story that could easily overshadow the musical output if it wasn’t for the fact that they actually produce great music. Come find your own inner child at this concert.

SUPERORGANISM INT
Superorganism is a sprawling, multi-limbed collection of international musicians and pop culture junkies. It consist of eight musicians who share a flat in east London, and their mission is clear: “Pop music has been so serious for the past few years. It feels like it needs a bit more fun injected,” one member has stated. And what they sound like is nothing else. Superorganism may just be the band of 2018.
TOUCHÉ AMORÉ US
This melodic post-hardcore five-piece from Los Angeles has been making artful, aggressive music with confessional vocals for over a decade. Their triumphant fourth album, Stage Four, is a record about loss delivered with heart-wrenching candour. Touché Amoré usually manages to squeeze in 20+ songs into their sets. Singing about death, anxiety and depression has never sounded more cathartic – and Touché Amoré have never sounded more alive.
VETO · PHOTO: KRISTOFFER JUEL
VETO DK
The core of VETO is something akin to man meets machine. With inspiration from especially Radiohead and Bloc Party, they let rumbling, bass-heavy beats meet with electric guitars, keys and Troels Abrahamsen’s intense voice. When playing live VETO is one tight unit. And that’s not because they use machines. They are first and foremost a stunning live act because they simply play well. It is good to have VETO back at Roskilde Festival!

This Edinburgh trio is a rap posse that doesn’t really rap and a soul trio that doesn’t really sing. With elements of hip-hop, grime and bhangra or spoken word, gospel and R&B, just to mention some, their genre-spanning sound isn’t easy to sum up. Young Fathers are an exceptional live experience. Vocals range from guttural shouts to sweet soulfulness, as they strut around the stage, engendering an experience both spiritual and sinister.

YONAKA UK
What do you get when you mix grunge, pop hooks and the frenetic live energy of DIY punk? The answer is Yonaka, a four-piece from Brighton who have kicked down the doors of the UK live music scene. There is no blueprint to their irresistible sound, just multiple ingredients, which they weave into their music like many-coloured sequins, somehow making them feel completely fresh in the process.
Since the late 90s, London-based Ashley Burchett aka Ø [Phase] has been part of the UK techno scene. His style ranges from gritty minimal techno to Detroit-influenced material. He released his debut Module Overload on Steve Bicknell’s Lost/ Cosmic Records in 2000 followed by a string of productions for London’s Surface/Inceptive Records and Ben Sims’ Ingoma imprint. His hard-hitting techno will make you move in the hardest of ways!
JACK OF ALL ECLECTIC TRADES
Yasuaki Shimizu’s resume spans rearranging Bach for tenor sax and accompanying everyone from Deee-Lite’s Towa Tei to jazz singer Helen Merrill and “Twin Peaks” chanteuse Julee Cruise. His own work similarly turns bits and bobs from all and any genres into something all his own.
Y—Ø THE MUSIC
Yasuaki Shimizu has long been an underground sensation in Japan, but he reached new heights when the album Utakata no hibi from 1983 was reissued in 2015. It represents a glimpse into an unknown world, a wealth of genres, an abundance of radical ideas. His music is both new wave, jazz, ambient and fusion. It’s tropical art pop, it’s an atmospheric trip, a door to beautiful and bizarre world. Yasuaki Shimizu truly is a unique composer.

CARING ABOUT OUR
FOOD
FOOD and BEVERAGES TAKING CARE OF THE ENVIRONMENT and YOUR WALLET
The way human beings produce, distribute and prepare food is probably the largest single contributor to climate change, both in the world in general and at a festival. Actually, 40 % of the festival’s CO2 footprint comes from the meat that is eaten at the festival. That’s why we try to limit our impact on the environment by ensuring that no less than 90 % of the food served at Roskilde Festival is organic. Roskilde Festival both influences and reflects the trends of the time, which is why the range of vegetarian and vegan dishes has grown in 2018 and will continue to grow over the next few years. We know there’s quite a difference in size of the wallets our guests bring to the festival. That’s why the selection of food and beverages must include offers for the student living on study grants as well as the more well-off individuals with the coin for something extra. Various associations and organisations run many of the food stalls, which ensures that profits benefit charitable purposes. Others are run by professional caterers who also contribute some of their profits to the overall charity supported by Roskilde Festival.

CARING ABOUT OUR
The festival has a group of volunteers who work all year selecting and maintaining relations to the food stalls. We have chosen the stalls for Roskilde Festival 2018 using six different criteria: —— Organics/sustainability: At least 90 % of our food is organic across all stalls. —— Price: Participants who get by on student support from the government must also be able to eat their fill. —— Quality: We would rather have freshly made food from fresh produce than ready-to-serve, pre-cooked meals. —— Charity: We prefer stalls that use their profits for charitable purposes, i.e. sports or cultural associations. —— Originality: We select new stalls that distinguish themselves from the existing selection of stalls.

FOOD COURTS AND TRUCKS
The Food Courts are Roskilde Festival’s food laboratory which challenges the perception of festival food and works towards a continuous development of the choices of food available at the festival. This is where we test delicious new festival food concepts. The opening hours are the same as other food stalls and so are the prices. This year we present not one, but three Food Courts at Roskilde Festival covering the entire Art Zone area. In total, the Food Courts consists of 29 food stalls and 5 bars. Here you can eat your way through street food from several continents, local fresh produce from Lolland, spicy crab stick sandwiches, insect gastronomy, Japanese comfort food, duck burgers, lobster rolls, Latin American and Spanish cuisine, Pakistani food and much, much more. Of course, we also serve festival classics like burgers, organic hotdogs and pork sandwiches.
Sustainability is important at the Food Courts, and besides serving 90 % organic food, all the collected waste from the areas is used to make biogas. In collaboration with DTU as part of a research project, some of the electricity used in the food courts are being supplied by seven electric cars, which are placed on top of the containers surrounding the food stalls.
FOOD TRUCKS ARE ROLLING IN
One of the food news of 2018 is the food trucks at Arena Park (near Arena stage). Here you will find food from Jamaica, Vietnam, Italy, India as well as the classics: hot dogs and a range of delicious burgers. You will also find a food truck park in the campsite this year. It will be focusing on delicious breakfasts, but you can also enjoy Italian polenta, Indian street food and authentic Vietnamese dishes.

Environmental and social sustainability is important for Roskilde Festival. This also applies to food and beverages.
Naturmælk has made some products especially for the hungry crowds at the festival. Due to popular demand they have made an organic ricotta cheese for this year’s festival. One natural and one with garlic/herbs flavour.
Roskilde Festival’s food waste efforts will take place throughout the festival and until the week after the festival, when surplus food and produce is handled, prepared and distributed to socially vulnerable people with the help from 50 different social organisations throughout the country.
WE ❤ WATER
...as do the children in Africa. In East City, West City and South City and on the festival site you can get water from Lovespring. And it’s not bottled and transported from a foreign country, it’s from right beneath our feet. Each time you get your water here you support Lovespring’s work with water projects in developing countries.
DID YOU KNOW...?
—— More than 50 % of the profit from food stalls and bars will benefit charitable purposes such as sports clubs or organisations for the disabled —— More than a million meals are served during Roskilde Festival —— All food stalls must have at least one vegetarian option —— All plates, cutlery and cups/glasses are made from biodegradable materials.

FROM HAPPY COWS TO HAPPY CAMPERS
All dairy products (milk, butter yoghurt etc.) at Roskilde Festival are from the Danish organic company Naturmælk. They work with 31 family-run farms in southern Jutland to produce high quality and environmentally friendly organic products. Many of them even run biodynamic farms, which have even higher demands for sustainability.
OUR INITIATIVES REDUCING FOOD WASTE
At a large festival like Roskilde Festival, it is almost impossible to avoid waste. However, working with Rub&Stub and Fødevarebanken, two organisations working on reducing food waste, we collect hygienically safe and usable produce from food stalls that would otherwise be thrown out.

SAFETY IN YOUR
CAMP NO OPEN FIRE
The combination of nylon tents and open fire is extremely dangerous, which is why it is important that you do not light any fires in your camp – neither during the festival nor when you’re leaving. The ban on open fire also includes torches, candles, hurricane lanterns, cooking devices and barbecues – including disposable barbecues.
At every agora you’ll find a cooking area and a communal grill for barbecuing your sausages, making soup or simply heating a meal. Please remember that it is absolutely life-threatening to light a gas burner in your tent. Likewise, it is prohibited to burn your tent, containers or other objects when you leave the festival.

97 WATCH OUT FOR THIEVES
FIRST AID
There are thieves at Roskilde Festival, especially in the camping area, so we encourage you to take extra good care of your valuables and use the free cloakrooms at the agoras. Lock your tent with a padlock so your neighbours can keep an eye on it.
First aid stations are located at East City and West City. There is also a first aid station open around the clock on the festival site just west of Orange Stage. At the first aid stations, you will be able to store insulin and other medicine that requires cooling. First aid stations are clearly marked by a first aid sign.

The Danish summer weather is capricious. It can change significantly from sunny to stormy. Here are some precautions: in case of heavy rain —— Dig ditches around your tent. —— Don’t pitch your tent in the lowest point in the terrain. —— Keep spirits high. in case of thunder —— Don’t seek shelter under trees, especially not single trees. —— Avoid towers and open squares. —— Don’t touch electrical conductive objects, e.g. fences, railings, faucets or appliances connected to electricity networks. —— It’s reasonably safe to use your phone, but remember you’re holding an electrically conductive object in your hand. —— Avoid swimming in the swimming lake. —— Start humming AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck”.
SAFETY IN YOUR CAMP
If you need help during the festival, you can address the campsite service attendants wearing orange vests. Furthermore, service attendants are ready to help you at all agoras and also keep an eye on the camping area.
PSYCHOLOGICAL FIRST AID
Psychological first aid is also available at your nearest first aid station. The investigative teams – the festival’s social workers – can be found on both the festival site and camping areas. All social workers have a relevant pedagogical, social or health professional background. You can easily spot them in their white vests with the words “social worker” on the back.

SAFETY AT THE
STAGES Being at a concert should never be boring, but it shouldn’t be dangerous either. Therefore, there is a number of safety requirements and precautions at all the stages at Roskilde Festival that we ask you to follow. For the sake of you and your friends.
TAKE CARE OF THOSE AROUND YOU
SAFETY AT THE STAGES
The safety at Roskilde Festival is evaluated continually to remove and reduce risks. We closely follow and participate in national and international developments in the safety field, but we still need your help to ensure that you and everybody around you gets the best and most safe concert experience possible.
DO NOT
—— Crowd surf. Crowd surfing is very dangerous. Nobody likes your shoes in their face, and you might fall down or get trampled at worst. Crowd surfing is strictly forbidden at all stages and can cause immediate expulsion from the festival. —— Form human chains. You put others at risk by creating unrest in the crowd. —— Run or push to get in front. You create waves in the crowd and increase the risk of someone falling or being crushed. —— Sit on the shoulders of somebody. You risk getting hurt, and it ruins the concert experience for others.
please help us with the following —— Pay attention to – and follow – the safety instructions presented on the big screens at the stages and the guidelines from the crowd safety staff in the orange vests. —— Pay attention to your friends and people around you. —— If you need help, or see others who do, please address the crowd safety staff. —— Make sure to sleep, eat, and drink so that your body is supplied with rest and energy. If you feel unwell, or see someone else who looks like they need help, address the festival staff.
PIT SYSTEMS
The pit systems in front of Orange Stage and Arena are safety constructions that make the concert experience safe for those of you who would like to be right in front of the stage. Show up early at the concerts since space is limited in the pit systems and there are many who would like to get in there. The green and red lights at the entrance tell you if there is free space available or if the pit is full. You can’t stay in the pit between concerts since they have to be cleared and cleaned. entrance to the pits The pit system entrances are located at both sides of Orange Stage and at the east side of Arena. At Orange Stage, there are two sections. The section at the back is always open at the sides. There are two entrances to the section in front. Access to this section requires a pit wristband for the respective concert.
99 Wristbands for the Orange front section are available for all shows on a given day by the Orange Stage on they day of the concert. You can get your wristband from when the festival site opens (10.00 in the morning except for Wednesday, when the festival site opens 17.00) and until we’re out. They are valid until 45 minutes before show start. After this, the area is open to everyone unless it’s full. See the illustration below.

Wristbands are not needed for the pits at the Arena stage.
—— We will allow moshing, dancing etc. at these concerts. —— Do notice, however, that we do not allow crowd surfing.
remember! Staying in the pit systems during concerts can be a very intense and physical experience. We ask that you only stay in there if you feel completely safe at all times.
Some concerts at Roskilde Festival call for moshing, wild dancing etc. We mark these with a ‘high energy’ icon. If you see this icon next to an act on these pages, expect the audience activity in front of the stage to be quite wild, and we want you to be careful if you choose to be up front.

LET’S KEEP IT
CLEAN BRING YOUR CAMPING GEAR HOME AFTER THE FESTIVAL
Every year Roskilde Festival and hundreds of volunteers work to reduce the amount of waste left behind at the campsite. But we need to do better – and we need your help.
Roskilde spends DKK 8 million on waste management every year. By taking useful camping gear back home with you – and sorting the rest in the recycling stations – you make Roskilde Festival more sustainable, and help us in making even more festival for you and your camp next year. delivery service Bring your gear in and out of the festival: How would you like to take home your camping gear(almost) without lifting a finger for it? This year, delivery company Bring will bring it home for you!
LET’S KEEP IT CLEAN
MYTH BUSTERS
Myth #1: “The camping gear I leave behind is donated to charity” Fact: Everything you abandon becomes waste. Bring it home with you. Myth #2: “I can’t get rid of my garbage anywhere!” Fact: There is a waste bin less than 25 meters from your camp. Use it and keep your camp and the festival clean.
Myth #4: “Waste disposal and cleaning up my abandoned crap is included in the ticket price.” Fact: We spend an extra DKK 8 million, which could have gone to charities, on cleaning up after you. Clean up and bring your camping gear home.

Myth #3: “There is nowhere to leave my broken pavilion and other waste.” Fact: There are seven recycling stations on site. Use them if you need to get rid of bigger waste items.
101 Bring brings your gear both to and from the festival. All you have to do is choose which pick-up point to use near your home and on the campsite. At Roskilde Festival there will be two pick-up/delivery points in connection with the cloakrooms in areas N and E. delivery service opening hours saturday 30 june 16:00 to monday 2 july 19:00 around the clock tuesday 3 july to saturday 7 july 8:00-19:00 sunday 8 july 9:00-13:00
For more info: bring.dk/roskilde.
APPRECIATE YOUR WASTE — USE THE RECYCLING STATIONS
Every day, parades will come through the campsites and help you keep your area clean. The volunteers hand out empty rubbish bags for your camp in exchange for your full ones.
Did you bring an inflatable mattress to the campsite? Comfy, right? If you don’t want it anymore after the festival, then please hand it in at our recycling stations. The mattresses are especially toxic to the environment because they contain PVC plastic, which shouldn’t end up with the combustible waste we collect from garbage bins and from the campsite in general after the festival.
CLEAN AREAS
Want to live cleaner and greener? In 2018, one in three festival-goers have actively chosen to pitch their tent in a clean area. Here people prefer green grass to broken glass, and would rather dispose of garbage than sit in it. In these areas everybody helps keep the area clean and comfortable. Area J is both clean and silent (no loud music after 22:00, please). clean out loud When you visit the newly expanded area E and the southernmost part of area C this year, you will experience that it is not only our most festive area, but also one of the cleanest. This area is the home of Clean Out Loud. During the past seven years, Clean Out Loud has been working to change the waste culture at Roskilde Festival through community feeling, festive garbage parades and creative events. leave no trace 700 festival guests with big dreams and creative solutions for a more sustainable festival experience will make up area B this year. Leave No Trace is a community that offers the possibility for camps to develop new and crazy ideas, actions and methods for a more sustainable festival and camplife. All while partying together and hosting events.
LET’S KEEP IT CLEAN
It’s easy to clean up your camp at Roskilde Festival. There are garbage bins at every single camping quadrant, and they are emptied on a daily basis by more than 200 volunteers. Spread out across the camping area you can find large recycling stations, where you can sort your garbage (general waste, metal, glass, batteries, air mattresses and cardboard) 24/7.
