Overview
The Rolling Stones have been announced as headliners for Roskilde Festival.
The legendary band will be topping the bill alongside previously confirmed headliners Arctic Monkeys at the Denmark festival, which takes place June 29 to July 6.
Roskilde's head of programme Anders Wahren said of the booking: "For years, we have dreamed of the moment when we got the opportunity to reunite The Rolling Stones with the Orange Stage at Roskilde Festival."
Other artists set to perform at the festival include Damon Albarn, Kasabian, Outkast, Lykke Li, Major Lazer, MO, Pusha T, Chance The Rapper, Chromeo, Kavinsky, Earl Sweatshirt and Cyril Hahn.
The announcement comes in the wake of the postponement of their Australian shows, following the death of Mick Jagger's partner, fashion designer L'Wren Scott.
The band will return to Europe in June to play a series of festival and arena dates, including Pinkpop in Holland and Belgium's TW Classic.
