Roskilde through the ages: 46 years of amazing line ups
Here's all the posters the iconic Danish festival has ever made
Roskilde is Denmark's largest music festival, and 2016 will see the likes of LCD Soundsystem, Savages, and Tame Impala take centre stage this summer (25 June - 2 July). The line up is a good indicator of who the most successful bands in the world are at the moment, as it always attracts the biggest names.
Historically, Roskilde has always had its finger on the pulse, and by its second ever year, The Kinks were headlining. Since then, Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, Nirvana, Aerosmith and many more have played making it a festival of enchanting history and shows they've never settled for second best.
Flicking back through their festival posters festival all the way to 1971 affirms this, reminding you of the legends that have transformed this Danish town. The posters are also a good source for re-discovering the bands that you may have forgotten about.
