Circle Added to Roadburn 2014 Lineup
Being more or less a band who’ve got a head-start on their own species, Circle will be returning to Roadburn next year. The staggeringly prolific Finnish outfit will play the same day as Loop, and as the festival makes plain below, the two names are not a coincidence. Very cool to have both these acts sharing the stage, since they both seem to have worked in their career in a sonic sphere unto themselves.
Here’s the official announcement from the Roadburn site:
Circle To Come Full Circle Playing With LOOP at Roadburn Festival 2014
One of the most important musical influences on Finland’s indescribably, uncategorizably brilliant Circle was the band LOOP, and we are ecstatic to be able to announce them both on the same bill. Circle will play their unpredictable but intoxicating blend of psychedelic metal / krautrock / artrock at Roadburn Festival 2014 on Saturday, April 12th at Het Patronaat.
In the beginning, Circle chose its name as a tribute to LOOP, and played incredibly repetitive angular punk / kraut rock. Fast forward 20 years later and Circle will be playing Roadburn with their musical heroes. In the interim time between those two events, Circle have released a bewilderingly diverse and numerically daunting (at least 33 full lengths!) catalog of music that truly defies description.
The one constant for the band has the been the mind blowing quality of their live shows, something we have been fortunate enough to witness at Roadburn in 2007 and 2011. We can only expect something inspired and unexpected as we bring Circle face to face with their influences.
Roadburn Festival 2014 will run for four days from Thursday, April 10th to Sunday, April 13th 2014 at the 013 venue in Tilburg, The Netherlands.
Tickets for the traditional Afterburner event on Sunday, April 13th at the 013 venue in Tilburg, The Netherlands are still available. Get in on the action HERE!
