Olivia Rodrigo’s performance at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark has garnered mixed reviews, with some critics praising her emotional delivery and rock concert energy, while others found her performance lacking presence and impact.

The 22-year-old American pop star, known for hits like “Good 4 You” and “Vampire,” took to the Orange Stage on Friday night as one of the festival’s headliners.

Politiken’s reviewer lauded Rodrigo’s emotional freedom and gave the concert five out of six stars, highlighting the enthusiastic response from young women in the audience who related to her songs about love and heartbreak. The newspaper noted that Rodrigo proved her artistic merit, dismissing the notion that she is merely a fleeting social media sensation.

Soundvenue also awarded Rodrigo’s performance five out of six stars, describing it as a surprisingly raw rock concert delivered by an incredibly tight band. The reviewer depicted the show as a collective emotional release, praising the quality of Rodrigo’s songwriting.

However, Ekstra Bladet offered a contrasting opinion, giving the concert only two out of six stars. The reviewer felt that Rodrigo’s performance lacked presence and impact, suggesting that she had not fully shed her Disney Channel persona.

B.T.’s reviewer echoed this sentiment, awarding the concert three out of six stars and noting a disconnect between Rodrigo and the Danish audience. The reviewer felt that the show seemed generic and lacked genuine presence, which affected the audience’s engagement.
