Roadburn 2026: Lineup Complete; Final Names Announced
Posted in Whathaveyou on February 26th, 2026 by JJ KoczanThe lineup for Roadburn 2026 is done as of this announcement. To the surprise of likely none, it’s expansive, both in stylistic and geographic reach, and as will happen with the long-running Tilburg, The Netherlands-based fest, it acknowledges its own past while keeping its primary focus ever on the future of the underground. Looking at the poster below, special sets for Inter Arma, Blackwater Holylight, Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs, Unsane, Primitive Man, Ufomammut, Boris and others certainly stand out, but Roadburn is never short on ways to spend your time, and discovery is a huge part of the process.
It’s bittersweet to see Roadburn finish out its lineup since I won’t be there this year, but if you will, you’re in for a weekend that just might change your life, especially if it’s your first time. The complete lineup is in the poster below, with the Heavy Jazz Jam and the rest of the Paradox bill included in the secondary image lower down. None of this counts things like secret shows, adjacent gigs, and the side-programme, so there’s still more Roadburn to reveal itself.
Roadburn 2026 is April 16-19. The PR wire brought the following:
Roadburn announced the final names for 2026 edition including the Paradox line up
Roadburn has announced the final names for 2026 edition of the festival including the line up for the Paradox venue. Paradox is a world-renowned jazz venue that curates two days of performances as part of Roadburn, focusing on the avant-garde, jazz-influenced and experimental scenes.
Roadburn’s Artistic Director, Walter Hoeijmakers comments:
For several years now, the legendary jazz club Paradox has been an integral part of the Roadburn community. Tucked away in the heart of Tilburg, it has long been a home for adventurous music – and we’re proud to see that spirit resonating once again at the festival.
For 2026, Paradox has handpicked a compact yet exceptional lineup, centred around experimental, jazz-influenced artists that feel completely at home within the Roadburn universe. It’s a programme built on openness, curiosity and deep listening: small in scale, but rich in character and intent.
As everything now falls into place, we are also excited to announce the final bands for the main Roadburn lineup. With these additions, the picture is complete and the story is ready to unfold when we gather once more in Tilburg.
All these different genres, scenes and generations are finally coming together in April. We can’t wait to see you in less than two months from now.
