Yes, the Rolling Stones have to make the list if for no other reason that they are the Stones, man! While the performance was a tad tame, it was certainly historic. (Allan Mutuku-Kortbæk)Photo: David Leth WIlliams/Scanpix
The Future Islands late-night performance at Avalon was at once a raging party and a clinic in showmanship from frontman Samuel T. Herring. (Justin Cremer)Photo: Torben Christensen/Scanpix
The old man has still got it. True metal superstar Philip H Anselmo gave a blistering mid-afternoon concert that proved he's as relevant as ever a full two decades after Pantera's peak. (Justin Cremer)Photo: Torben Christensen/Scanpix
Manu Chao was simply divine. He stuck it to Fifa and created beautiful chaos at the Orange Stage (Allan Mutuku-Kortbæk)Photo: Jens Nørgaard Larsen/Scanpix
Nicolas Jaar returned to Roskilde working under the guise of another musical project, Darkside. The result was the stuff dreams are made of. (Allan Mutuku-Kortbæk)Photo: Allan Mutuku-Kortbæk
With his infectious energy and Beyonce shirt, Deftones frontman Chino Moreno was the star of his own show, bellowing and hissing with a vengeance that shook the ground for miles around, (Justin Cremer and Allan Mutuku-Kortbæk)Photo: Torben Christensen/Scanpix
Jack White wasn't supposed to be at Roskilde, but yet he delivered perhaps the festival's best show. A musician truly at the top of his game. (Justin Cremer)Photo: Jens Nørgaard Larsen/Scanpix
Major Lazer involved the crowd every step of the way during their late Saturday night show, breaking nearly every rule in the crowd safety handbook in the process. (Allan Mutuku-Kortbæk) Photo: Jens Nørgaard Larsen/Scanpix
Mogwai's Friday night show at Arena was a classic example of what the right time and placement can mean for a Roskilde gig. The Scottish rockers owned the night. (Justin Cremer)Photo: Jens Nørgaard Larsen/Scanpix
While some of the early reviews from Outkast's long-awaited reunion tour were lukewarm, their opening Orange show was red hot. (Justin Cremer)Photo: Jens Nørgaard Larsen/Scanpix
