Roskilde Festival has announced the first 18 acts for its 2027 lineup, led by Tame Impala, Kacey Musgraves, and Caroline Polachek, with the festival scheduled for June 26 to July 3 in Roskilde, Denmark.

The initial wave includes a mix of jazz-flavored acts like Ezra Collective and Nu Jazz, as well as heavier groups such as Neurosis, Lambrini Girls, Drain, and Konvent, underscoring a broad lineup beyond mainstream pop.

Other highlighted acts across genres include Patti Smith Quartet, Suki Waterhouse, Lambrini Girls, and Underscores, reflecting cross-genre appeal.

Last year, controversy arose when Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats criticized Damon Albarn for a shutdown of their concurrent set; organizers attributed the disruption to wind and sound conditions.

The festival site features its own train station with direct service from central Copenhagen, taking under 30 minutes for easy access.

Ticket options include full-week passes at €355, one-day tickets at €205, and two-day tickets at €300, with Tickster handling sales.

Roskilde Festival is organized by the Roskilde Festival Charity Society, relies on about 27,000 volunteers, and donates profits to humanitarian, non-profit, and cultural initiatives.

Patti Smith and Caroline Polachek are noted for engagement on gender representation and LGBTQ+ rights, aligning with the festival’s independent, non-profit ethos.

The festival has earned praise for creating a utopian experience across multiple dimensions, as noted by music press.

Tickets and additional information are available on the festival’s official website and through Tickster.

Approximately 27,000 volunteers power the event, emphasizing its community-driven model.

The festival continues its late-June to early-July run, building on a storied history that previously featured acts like The Cure, Gorillaz, and Lily Allen.
