Roskilde Festival confirm Kendrick Lamar as 2021 headliner
Denmark's Roskilde Festival has announced Kendrick Lamar as a headliner for next year's 50th anniversary event.
Kendrick Lamar first played the Danish festival in 2013, and next year's headline slot will mark his third appearance at Roskilde. The rapper was due to headline the 2020 festival before it was called off in April due to the coronavirus pandemic.
We are on the threshold of a new year, and we think there is a need and reason to be hopeful. So, here's a big one!
