Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Coldplay, Nine Inch Nails and Oasis have all signed on to perform at the event which runs from July 2-5, 2009 just outside Copenhagen, Denmark.  They join other artists including Lily Allen, The Pet Shop Boys and Slipknot among many others.  What an eclectic group of performers!  There’s something for everyone, it seems.  I wish I could jaunt on over to Denmark to check it out.

Also, if you are an environmentally conscious person, you might be pleased to learn that organizers have chosen a “Green Footsteps” theme for the event to help raise awareness about global climate change.  They estimate that the festival will be attended by approximately 75,000 people so even if they can just change the habits of a third of them, it would be amazing.

Tickets for the Roskilde Festival (including a four-day warm-up beginning June 28) are already on sale for approximately $281 U.S. dollars.  Visit the Roskilde Festival site for more information.
