Dylan and Guns N' Roses among acts at Roskilde Music Festival

Copenhagen - Legendary Bob Dylan and US rock group Guns N' Roses were among the more than 100 acts slated to perform at this summer's Roskilde music festival in Denmark, organizers said Thursday. Other acts include Morrissey who performed at the 2004 edition of the festival, British rock musician Roger Waters - one of the original members of Pink Floyd who will perform the group's classic Dark Side of the Moon - Icelandic band Sigur Ros, The Streets and American rapper Kanye West. Roskilde festival spokesman Esben Danielsen said ticket sales were 'surprisingly good.' The first Roskilde festival was held in 1971, inspired by similar events at Woodstock and the Isle of Wight. This year's theme for fund-raising in connection with the festival is focused on bond labour and slavery, with special attention on children in Cambodia. Organizers hope to raise some 400,000 kroner (66,000 dollars), mainly through bottle deposits at the four-day Roskilde festival that runs June 29 to July 2.
