I don’t even know what to say about this one. Fuckin’ Roadburn is kicking my ass all over the place. What I really want to know is who’s going to be in his backing band, but whoever it is, the fact that it’s going to be John Garcia up front singing Kyuss songs is enough to make me wish even harder I could afford airfare to The Netherlands next spring. Here’s the news from Blabbermouth:

John Garcia (Kyuss, Unida, Hermano) will perform an entire set of Kyuss songs at next year’s Roadburn festival, which will be held at the 013 venue and Midi Theatre in Tilburg, Holland from Thursday, April 15 through Sunday, April 18, 2010.

The incredible emotional content of Kyuss is due in large part to the vocals of Garcia. Deeply rooted in blues and baked solid by the searing desert sun, his powerful contributions to the classic Kyuss records Blues for the Red Sun, Kyuss (a.k.a. Welcome to Sky Valley) and …And the Circus Leaves Town cast the mold for a legion of imitators.

Roadburn festival 2010, including Tom Gabriel Warrior‘s Only Death is Real, a Goatsnake reunion, Candlemass 25th-anniversary show and Enslaved as “artists in residence,” will run for three days. There will be an additional Afterburner event on Sunday, April 18, 2010.
