Roskilde 2025

[DDave]

Looks like we're in for a weaker 2025 festival season than this year.

From Roskilde I was expecting something a lot stronger than that…

 

2024 wasn’t exactly a strong festival year either.. so not great if things are looking like they are going to be even weaker in 2025.

I believe the first names last year were also not that big...

If you look at the first announcement last time it’s pretty much the same (I’d argue that first announcement is actually bigger)

Some great names in there, I like that they always start with lots of smaller quality names. Somehow they managed to book the 3 acts from Primavera 2024 I most wanted to see but couldn't due to clashes: Beth Gibbons, Faye Webster and Jessica Pratt.

I think it looks ok. Happy with Fontaines DC, Beth Gibbons, Faye Webster. Kassi Valazza and Thou might be interesting too. Wisp, that's the shoegaze revival TikTok-phenomenon, as far as I know. Have no idea what she's capable of, but why not?

Definitely a better first announcement than last year's. 

 

Stormzy, Fontaines DC, Beth Gibbons (!), Faye Webster, Magdalena Bay, Thee Sacred Souls, Geordie Greep, Jessica Pratt are all lovely names.

Decent announcement, better than expected for the 1st announcement. 

 

Beth Gibbons

Fontaines.

I saw Wisp at Pukkelpop this year. The 12.15 - 12.50 slot and the clash with the orchestra thing didn't help her, but we were no more than 80-90 spectators, never seen such an empty tent.

She had a sold out show in London the day after, anyways.

Always strange how things may differ from a place to another...

Personally, very strong announcement. No care for Stormzy but definetly will go see quite alot; Gibbons (!!!), Fontaines, The Hu, Mø, Magdalena, Electric Callboy, Geordie Greep (ex Black Midi). Such a mix of genres already! Love this fest for the variety; it's why I insta buy a ticket every year. 😄

 

Also a big fan of how Roskilde do these staggered mixed announcements; gives more focus to the undercard than just the big names in one go!

 

In terms of other headliners: taking a guess at Nick Cave, Olivia Rodrigo, Fred Again (late night set), Black Pink. Maybe 1 big country singer aswell?
