The line-up at Roskilde, Denmark’s premier festival, has swollen in size with the announcement that Father John Misty – alongside another 24 artists from 13 different countries – has joined the previously announced Foo Fighters, The Weeknd and Arcade Fire.
Speaking of the additions, Roskilde Festival’s Head of Programme Anders Wahrén said: “Father John Misty played a triumphant show at Roskilde Festival two years ago, and since then he’s grown a lot. We can’t wait for him to take the next step when he plays our biggest stage, the Orange Stage, where legends have been created over the last decades.”
He continued: ”From Sahara to Iceland, these new acts span a lot of countries and styles. This kind of diversity is what we’re all about, and we’re very excited that our fans get the chance to experience a lot of music they didn’t know they were going to love.”
