Roadburn 2017: Ulver Added; Tickets on Sale Now

We’re mere days from the previous, massive Roadburn 2017 lineup announcement, but if there’s ever been any act to grace a stage and stand alone, it’s Ulver, so I can hardly argue with the festival giving them their due space. The Norwegian post-black metal innovators are all the more worthy of highlight for the fact that they’ll arrive in the Netherlands this April in order to present a brand new full-length, to be titled The Assassination of Julius Caesar. I was fortunate enough to be there four years ago when Ulver played Roadburn 2012 (review here), and it was a similar openness and spirit that the band sought to capture with earlier-2016’s improv-based collection ATGCLVSSCAP, so while I wouldn’t dare hazard a guess as to what The Assassination of Julius Caesar might have in store in sound or theme, it speaks to the forward-thinking nature of both the band and the fest that it would be the latest work coming into focus on the Roadburn stage. They are a good match for each other.

Tickets for Roadburn 2017 may well be sold out by the time this post goes live, but here’s what came off the PR wire:

Ulver added to Roadburn 2017 line up; tickets on sale today

ULVER will present their new album, The Assassination Of Julius Caesar, at Roadburn 2017
Full current line up listed below – with dozens more artists still to be announced
Tickets on sale now

Ahead of tickets for the 2017 edition of Roadburn Festival going on sale, ULVER have been announced to perform on Sunday, April 23.

The highly revered Norwegian band will present their upcoming album, The Assassination Of Julius Caesar, at the album’s release show at the 013 venue. With little known about the album besides the title at this point, with only the vaguest of hints being dropped by the band, our appetites are well and truly whetted.

Back in 2012, ULVER delighted us with the first and only rendition of the songs on Childhood’s End, their album of obscure 60s psychedelia covers. It was a unique and unrepeatable treat that still resonates deeply within our collective Roadburn memory bank.

The release show for ULVER’s The Assassination Of Julius Caesar takes place on Sunday, April 23, at the 013 venue in Tilburg, The Netherlands.
