Pitchfork: Roskilde Festival Lineup Revealed

And we thought Lollapalooza and Coachella were huge! Denmark has America and its piddling little summer rock fests beat big time, as the lineup for the 36th Roskilde Festival has been revealed...and good god is it mammoth, both in terms of numbers and star power. The outdoor live music orgy, taking place in Roskilde, Denmark from June 29 to July 2 (with a four day warm-up featuring up-and-coming Scandinavian acts preceding it) will feature a whopping 167 artists from all corners of the pop music spectrum and all levels of fame.

First of all, they've got Guns N' Roses and Bob Dylan. And Roger Waters performing Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety, "flanked by screens and a quadrophonical sound system." Quadrophonical, people! It will literally remove your ears from the sides of your head and blast them into space.

They've also got Kanye West, Franz Ferdinand, Tool, Morrissey, the Strokes, the Raconteurs, Death Cab for Cutie, Arctic Monkeys, the Streets, Sigur R�s, and Kaiser Chiefs.

Here's a small sampling of the rest of the Roskilde roster:

Editors, H.I.M., Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley, Placebo, Rufus Wainwright, Coheed and Cambria, Wolfmother, Deftones, Trivium, Opeth, Infadels, Immortal Technique, Lady Sovereign, Floetry, George Clinton and Paliament/Funkadelic, Animal Collective, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Coldcut, Diplo vs. A-Trak, D�lek, the Ex, Figurines, Front 242, Happy Mondays, Goldfrapp, Kieran Hebden and Steve Reid, Jenny Lewis, Matisyahu, Ms. John Soda, Phoenix, Radio Soulwax / 2 Many DJ's, Josh Rouse, Serena Maneesh, Shout Out Louds, Silver Jews, the Thing, Tied & Tickled Trio, Tiga, Two Gallants, Ricardo Villalobos, Why?, Deus
