The Gaslight Anthem and Little Boots to Roskilde

All-American blue-collar rock and British synth pop stand side by side in today’s music package.
Even though large parts of the music programme are now in place, Roskilde Festival continues to fill the remaining slots with fresh, new acts.
Today, the festival is pleased to reveal two acts who will add some extra heat to the palms of fans of straight-forward, oil-stained rock and 80s-ish glitter-dusted pop.

THE GASLIGHT ANTHEM (US) is the very essence of New Jersey with their Bruce Springsteen-inspired, punk-ish songs on love, vulnerability and gas in the tank. The four tattooed blue-collar boys are an essential acquaintance for all fans of slightly nostalgic and craft-conscious rock music, which they have cemented on their critically acclaimed The ’59 Sound.

LITTLE BOOTS (UK) places her elegant heals on the shoulders of pop bigwigs such as The Human League, Saint Etienne and all others who enjoy being up in the air on an electric pink cloud. The British natural talent won the sought-after BBC Sound of 2009 and could very well be the new Kylie or Robyn.
