ROSKILDE, Denmark, 5-8 Jul: Leading the Roskilde line-up from the front is 2012 headliner Björk, who’s so far its first and only resident. Festival-goers can expect to see her performing songs from her new album ‘Biophilia’, and presumably, wearing that big orange wig. Say organisers of securing Björk for the Danish bash: “We kick off the new festival season with a true ‘Roskilde act’. One of the most distinct profiles and an always surprising musician”. roskilde-festival.dk/uk/
