Denmark's biggest and best music party, the inimitably incredible Roskilde Festival, has announced their 2009 band lineup and it's as full of firepower as any year prior.

This year's festival will have its numerous stages stormed by the likes of Coldplay, Kanye West, Oasis, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Nine Inch Nails, Lil Wayne, Fleet Foxes, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, Pet Shop Boys, Grace Jones, and many, many more.

Beyond the big name headliners, some further highlights from this vantage point include performances by: Tony Allen, Black Dice, The Dodos, Gang Gang Dance, Hauschka, Socalled, and White Lies.

The Roskilde Fest will be held July 2-5, 2009 in Roskilde, Denmark. Tickets are now on sale.

Here is the complete 2009 Roskilde Festival lineup.

Tom Breihan over at Pitchfork nails our sentiments exactly:

Seriously, how is anyone over here supposed to compete with that? This is the kind of lineup that makes unemployed recession-stricken Americans check plane ticket prices just to make sure they can't afford the trip.
