It’s very rare to find Prince playing live outside of the US so we’re really glad to see him playing at this year’s festival. The organisers of Roskilde commented, “getting Prince to Roskilde Festival has been on our wish list for years. He is not a frequent guest at festivals, so it is a great honour for us”.

What’s more the rockgod’s attendance at Roskilde Festival will be one out of only three this summer. He’ll also be at Werchter in Belgium and Arras in France.
