It's the summer festival season, and one of Europe's biggest music festivals is about to get underway. The annual Roskilde Festival kicks off on July 3, 2008 with three days of music from more than 180 bands and musicians, as well as films, art installations, a skatepark, and random entertainers wandering through the agoras (themed camping and hangout areas). But as far as the music is concerned, Roskilde is famous for attracting the hottest talent, and this year is no different, as the festival will welcome Radiohead, Awadi, Goldfrapp, Jay-Z, the Streets, Battles, and dozens of other artists who speak to the collective musical experience of today. Can't wait for it to start? Then show up on June 29, when the Roskilde Warm-Up gets things moving with a slate of emerging musicians, artists, and visionaries. You'll be guaranteed prime spots for a musical event that has rocked Denmark since 1971. Guests at the Palace Hotel, just a 40-minute drive away in Copenhagen, might enjoy this renowned celebration of music, culture, and life.
