She is one of the hottest acts today and a trendsetting fashion icon. Her music is a melting pot of genres - and she will play her very first concert in Denmark at Roskilde Festival.

M.I.A. (UK) mixes British grime hip hop with dancehall, Bollywood, Afro hip hop and The Pixies. Her music is dirty like a city pavement, and it has both Western and Oriental blood running through its system. The warrior girl has moved right up alongside male counterparts such as Wiley and Dizzee Rascal - and her latest album, Kala, has strengthened her position at the front line of global pop music.

Strong Danish R&B and hip hop acts
Roskilde Festival offers two extra Easter eggs.

BURHAN G (DK) started out as a backing singer for the Danish group Outlandish - but it was soon clear that the angelic voice deserved its own spot in the limelight. Burhan G has the stage show, the voice and the songs for a great future on the international stages. Justin Timberlake soon needs to watch his back.

MAJORS (DK) is a new hip hop ensemble consisting of DJ Noize, DJ Static, Nat Ill, J-Spliff and Negash Ali. Majors are releasing their debut album in April. The prognosis promises hard beats, detailed arrangements and English-language rap on a level rarely heard in Danish hip hop.
