Although it is known as much for the camping, the partying and the "orange feeling", believe it or not, for some people the Roskilde Festival is still all about the music.
With a full schedule across the festival's seven stages, it can sometimes be hard to know when to go where. The Copenhagen Post offers our picks for each day's best concerts, but any Roskilde veteran would caution against planning your schedule too carefully. Part of the beauty of the festival is stumbling across new acts and stepping outside of your musical comfort zones.
But if you are unfamiliar with some of the names on the schedule and want to know a little more, here are our picks for Sunday, the final day of the 2013 Roskilde Festival:
Ensiferum
12:30, Odeon
Pick up your swords and shields, and get ready for Ensiferum! The folk-based quintet Ensiferum is as melodic as it is heavy. The Finns have always been known to produce some of the best melodic metal, and this folk/Viking metal outfit are no exception. Their songs are folksy in the most crucial of terms, get ready to dance and sing your hearts out with these patrons of Viking lore. Michalis Nielsen
James Blake
14:30, Orange
The dub-step producer made a name for himself as he sauntered off the beaten track jigsawing together an eclectic blend of sombre dub-step, electro and Thom Yorke-inspired elements in the mid-‘00s, leading to his place as the poster boy for dub-step’s new generation. Although Blake is hardly comfortable in the limelight, he has perhaps unknowingly matured into one of the figureheads of the current renaissance of electronic music alongside the likes of Nicolas Jaar, Jamie Woon and Four Tet. His status has only gained greater momentum following the release of his new album Overgrown (2013), which further blurs the boundaries between dubstep and electronica further with light piano loops, gospel-folk choir sections and emotionally taxing lyrical themes.

Azealia Banks
16:00, Cosmopol
Promoting herself through the internet, this Harlem rapper was discovered at the age of 17. The now only 22-year-old has just one way ahead of her: success and fame. She is best known for her coarse and unpolished language on tracks like '212' from 2011. Azealia Banks claimed the third spot in BBC's 'Sound of 2012' and released the album Broke With Expensive Taste in April, making her name smoking hot, especially for the hip-hop happy festival guests. Sigrid Neergaard
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
16:45, Orange
The San Francisco garage band have distinguished themselves from their contemporaries with an edgy style of neo-psychedelia. Taking inspiration from the likes of The Jesus and Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine, and The Stone Roses, the trio pride themselves on an equal balance of long, drawn out distorted instrumental sections, thoroughbred rock ‘n’ roll lyrics and a nostalgic New York Dolls goth image. Daniel van der Noon
Queens of the Stone Age
19:00, Orange
Even before the release of the band's sixth album, … Like Clockwork, in June, this was one of the most promising picks of the 2013 Roskilde Festival. But with a month for an album that is arguably the band's best since 2002's Songs for the Deaf to grow on fans, the anticipation for this show has been upped substantially. With consomate cool dude Josh Homme at the forefront, QOTSA will be looking to put a strong end to the Orange Stage's rock offerings for this year. Teamed up with the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club show before it, the festival's main stage is going to be rocker paradise on the last day. One can only hope that when we hear 'My God is the Sun', we are actually bathed in the sunlight that was promised but has been slow to come. Justin Cremer
Kraftwerk
22:00, Orange
Kraftwerk first started making music in the 70s, and the Germans are considered to be one of the most influential musicians in modern music, with an impact on the global scene that is close to that of The Beatles. Musicians the world over have been inspired by Kraftwerk's music, style and image, which has garnered praise from the likes of Depeche Mode, Afrika Bambataa and even David Bowie. Featuring a highly revered 3-D show, Kraftwerk are more of an experience than a band. Roskilde's decision to slot them as the final act on the Orange Stage will surely leave many revelers with a positive aftertaste of the festival that will help tide them over until next year.

Dubioza Kolektiv
24:00, Arena
Dubioza Kolektiv are a band of crazy Bosnians known for their energetic amalgamation of Balkan rhythms, reggae, rock and dub. Their musical backdrop is brassy and euphoric, yet their lyrics contain political undertones of anti-nationalism, making them spokespeople for unity and peace in the Balkans. They will be performing their Balkan frenzy at this year's final party. Catch them at the large Arena stage alongside Californian ska-champs Voodoo Glow Skulls. Michalis Nielsen
