In the wake of YOB‘s unfortunate cancellation, Roadburn has announced that Italian drone metal gods Ufomammut will be appearing at this year’s edition of the festival, playing the whole of last year’s brilliant Eve album. This is, as if I needed to say it, very good news. Eve was chosen by Roadburn-website patrons as the album of 2010 (who could argue?), so it’s all the more appropriate.

Here’s this from the Roadburn site:

Roadburn is thrilled to announce that Italy’s psychedelic drone lords, Ufomammut, will perform their much acclaimed 2010 album, Eve, in its entirety at this year’s Roadburn Festival, Saturday, April 16 at the Midi Theatre in Tilburg, Holland.

Ufomammut commented: “Since our Eve album was voted best of 2010 by Roadburn readers, playing it at the upcoming festival will have a very special meaning for Ufomammut! It’ll be our chance to properly say thanks to all the people who have supported us throughout the years. See you in April!”
