The largest music festival in Northern Europe has returned to Roskilde, Denmark, and 179 acts are confirmed to play at the mammoth eight - day, eight - stage music event.

Ahead of the event we invite you to take a look at the obscenely good lineup and not feel an urge to grab your passport right this second.

Legendary rapper Nas will be blowing up the stage and is the latest to be added to the festival’s lineup. He joins Yasiin Bey, better known by his nom de plume Mos Def, in what will be a throwback to iconic rappers.

Head of the program, Anders Wahren says: "It's a crazy, climactic feeling to finally present the full line-up...who collectively represent what we think is the most defining, challenging and relevant music in 2017".

With the global success of their third album I See You, the British trio that make up The xx are more than ready to headline at Roskilde, and will be playing to their biggest crowd yet on the Orange Stage.

Solange, The Weeknd and Gucci Mane will also be performing, along with TInashe, likely performing material from her new album Joyride, and Lorde.

Urban artists Princess Nokia, Bryan Tiller and G-Eazy will be representing at the festival.

Rock superstars Blink-182, the Foo Fighters and Anthrax will be performing for the metalheads.

Other exciting acts include Halsey, Rag ‘N’ Bone Man, Noah Carter and Krept & Konan.
