SOUNDS LIKE ROSKILDE
IN 2020, THERE WERE NO SOUNDS OF ROSKILDE. THE FESTIVAL – LIKE MOST OTHER MAJOR EVENTS – WAS
CANCELLED DUE TO THE OUTBREAK OF COVID-19.
 
A BUNCH OF ARTISTS WERE LEFT TO THEIR OWN DEVICES. AMONG THESE WAS A LINE-UP OF 42
UPCOMING ACTS ON THE VERGE OF A BREAKTHROUGH. PLAYING ROSKILDE FESTIVAL WAS A HUGE
OPPORTUNITY. INSTEAD, EVERYTHING WAS PUT TO A HALT. THERE WASN’T A STAGE FOR THEM TO PLAY
ON.
 
IN THIS LIGHT, SOUNDS LIKE ROSKILDE BECOMES AN EVEN MORE IMPORTANT RELEASE THAN IT ALREADY
WAS. WE HAVE ALWAYS BELIEVED IN CREATING A PLATFORM FOR THE STARS OF TOMORROW. THIS IS OUR
WAY TO PRESENT THE ‘CLASS OF 2020’ IN SOME WAY.
 
BECAUSE YOU HAVE BOUGHT THIS RECORD YOU SUPPORT THE ARTISTS. ALL PROFITS FROM SOUNDS LIKE
ROSKILDE GO IN FULL TO THE ARTISTS.
 
SOUNDS LIKE ROSKILDE IS DEDICATED TO THE LATE JAN SNEUM. JAN WAS A LEGENDARY MUSIC
JOURNALIST AND A TRUE MUSIC LOVER. HE WAS ALWAYS CURIOUS ABOUT NEW MUSIC, WHICH THIS
COMPILATION IS PACKED WITH. THIS ONE IS FOR YOU, JAN!
