ROADBURN 2020 BANNER

Somewhere along the line, I lost track of how many announcements deep Roadburn 2020 was into its lineup. Perhaps it was being CONSTANTLY BLINDSIDED by the lineup. Yeah, that’s what I’ll tell myself. Couldn’t possibly be that I’m just dumb. Whatever. I think this is number eight, which is pretty significant, so it’s probably number 14.

In any case, here we are in January the festival is still developing its lineup for the year. There’s much more to come, and then you get into stuff like surprise sets, secret shows, the big announcement of the side-programme and everything else. We get the Ignition pre-show in this announcement. It’ll be The Dead Cvlt, Early Graves and Splinter, which sounds like a wild time. Generally is though, so yeah.

But things just keep getting weirder here, with Alexis S.F. Marshall from Daughters signing on for a solo set and a sit-in with Lingua Ignota, plus LSD and the Search for God and a whole host of others whose names may or may not be familiar but you just trust Roadburn and go with it because it’s Roadburn and that’s what you do.

Yup:

roadburn 2020 selling like hotcakes

Today’s announcement features Alexis Marshall (last seen on a Roadburn stage with Daughters) performing a solo set, as well as joining Lingua Ignota for her covers set, plus… DARKHER, Forndom, The Devil’s Trade, LSD and the Search for God, Ulveblod, Doodswens making a return, KODIAN TRIO (Dirk Serries) celebrating their fifth anniversary, Jonah Parzen-Johnson, The Sweet Release of Death, Motorik, Of Blood and Mercury, and last but not least – VONNIS.

As you will have seen earlier – we have another stacked line up for the Ignition Roadburn pre-party on Wednesday 15 April!

Given that we have Early Graves? in town already, we really couldn’t resist inviting them to do a second set and be part of the welcoming committee on Wednesday night. With their hearts in the boogie and their minds in the gutter, Amsterdam’s Splinter? (with members of Death Alley and Birth of Joy) could hardly be more appropriate to launch Roadburn 2020. Rounding out the bill will be The Dead Cvlt: amped up on a lethal dose of misanthropic black metal, pounding blastbeats and oldschool drum and bass.

Wristband exchange will be open from 6pm on the Wednesday so you can come and get yours early to save queuing on Thursday… and more importantly, Ignition is an opportunity to get your Roadburn experience off to an amazing start. Admission is free. See you there!

Only Sunday day tickets remain on sale – all other tickets are sold out.

Roadburn 2015: Streaming Sets from The Heads, Botanist, Bardspec, Eyehategod, Kandodo, Darkher, White Hills, Zoltan and Brimstone

The Heads were so goddamn good at Roadburn. As any edition will, Roadburn 2015 had some truly spectacular performances, both that I saw and that I heard about later and regretted not seeing, but one I consider myself very, very fortunate to have caught was that of The Heads on the Main Stage at the 013. Pure, raw and complete psychedelic mastery, it was probably in the top three heavy psych sets I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a few in my time. Bands sound molten on studio recordings all the time, but for them to bring that vibe to the stage was, well, it was The Heads, and they absolutely killed it.

But as I say, Roadburn 2015 had more than several spectacular gigs. Anytime Eyehategod go anywhere, they leave an impact, and I also managed to see that Kandodo set, which had Robert Hampson of Loop sitting in on guitar — speaking of molten psychedelics — as well as White Hills and Bardspec, the latter which was just Ivar Bjørnson and Arve “Ice Dale” Isdal of Enslaved experimenting with different chords and manipulations on a laptop. Very cool vibe there too.

The latest batch of Roadburn 2015 audio streams has all those, plus BotanistBrimstoneDarkher and Zoltan, which makes it quite a batch indeed. Enjoy:
