A global lineup of 177 acts lands in Denmark as Roskilde balances major pop names with emerging scenes, activism and art.

Roskilde Festival has revealed its full 2026 lineup, confirming the final wave of artists set to appear at Northern Europe’s largest music festival this summer. Among the 20 newly announced acts are global K-pop star Jennie, US rapper Ken Carson and Palestinian techno producer Sama’ Abdulhadi, rounding out a bill that spans 177 artists from 37 countries.

Set to take place from 27 June to 4 July in Roskilde, Denmark, the independent, non-profit festival continues its longstanding model of donating all profits to humanitarian and cultural causes, having raised more than €64 million since its founding in 1971.

Jennie’s inclusion marks a significant moment for the festival, reflecting the continued global expansion of K-pop into major European lineups. Known both for her role in BLACKPINK and her recent solo work, she joins a programme that organisers say is designed to reflect current shifts in global music culture while pointing toward its future direction.

Elsewhere in the final announcement, Ken Carson brings his distorted, high-energy take on rage rap, while Jalen Ngonda adds a dose of classic soul. The new additions also include BIA, Panda Bear & Sonic Boom, and Danish rap group Malk de Koijn, alongside a geographically diverse set of artists such as Greenland’s Tarrak, Ukraine’s Heinali & Andriana-Yaroslava, and Egypt’s Abdullah Minawy Trio.

They join an already extensive lineup featuring headliners and high-profile names including The Cure, Gorillaz, Zara Larsson, Addison Rae, Clipse and David Byrne, alongside artists such as Kneecap, Lily Allen, Little Simz, Wolf Alice and Ethel Cain.

Beyond music, Roskilde’s 2026 edition will host more than 90 art and activism projects from over 30 countries. This year’s programme centres on themes of peace, community and future-facing ideas, with installations, performances and workshops spread across the site. New additions include a dedicated cinema space screening films ranging from Oscar winners to late-night horror, as well as interactive experiences such as roller disco, skateboarding sessions and climate-focused workshops.

Full festival tickets are priced at DKK 2,600 (approximately €348), with one- and two-day options also available.
