The visual is always very present during Roadburn festival. In the new venue, The Pit Stop, it hits you from all sides. From the muscular men statues, which will be seen on many Instagram accounts, to the Full Bleed expo, it’s a feast for the eyes. So we went to have a look and hang out with people who create beauty.

Roadburn is not exclusively about desert rock and stoner music anymore. It’s still there, but really, how far has the festival come? On Thursday, there’s something more primal happening. Folk music, in its broadest sense, is taking center stage at Roadburn, as we see performances of Myrkur, Heilung, and Hexvessel on the main stage. Editor: Guido Segers Let’s face it, many of us are looking for an escape. We are
Yes! We are finally here again! Planet motherfuckin Roadburn! Whoohah! With NMTH, we will completely immerse ourselves in the coming days in the violent glory of what we can regard as simply the best place on earth possible. With this year an even bigger warm-up party on Wednesday in the Green Room of 013, called Ignition: Roadburn 2019 Pre Show. Goddamn, it is so nice to be here again. Editor:
It’s been five years since The Devil’s Blood´ Selim Lemouchi left this world behind. Five years since his band members played his songs, that had such burning force behind them, such otherworldliness and conviction. Certainly, there have been other bands and the spark of his creativity has been carried on but not until today has it fully become part of the texture that is heavy music as Molassess takes the
Something strange happens in Tilburg on Thursday afternoon as the Veemarktstraat slowly turns into Weirdo Canyon. No one can tell you exactly where this normally quiet street turns into Roadburn territory, but we all know when it has happened. You get off the train, leave your hotel – or just your front door – and suddenly you’ve landed: Planet Roadburn. Editor: Guido Segers We carefully move out, like animals in
We don’t need to tell you how extremely excited we are about Roadburn. By now you will have seen us post, write, scream and cheer about the adventurous Tilburg festival countless times and it is no time to stop doing that. Especially because Roadburn 2019 starts tonight with an Ingnition Party at the 013, where you can already experience Temple Fang, the band we will be presenting with Roadburn, Saturday
Het is je niet ontgaan: GOLD heeft net een nieuwe plaat uit. Why Aren’t You Laughing? is alweer het vierde album en het eerste dat verscheen via het Canadese Artoffact Records. 5 april was het zover en aangezien we de groep binnenkort prestigieuze shows zien doen op Roadburn (12 april) en Doomstad (11 mei) reist Never Mind The Hype af naar Rotterdam voor een gesprek met gitarist Thomas Pablo Sciarone
“De line-up was toch al meerdere keren af, rond en voltooid verklaard?” “Ja maar, ja maar, ja maar ik kwam nóg een steengoede band tegen en die moet er echt spelen.” “Ok, ok point taken. He, we hebben nog geen bands op de skatebaan dit jaar!” Goed, we weten natuurlijk niet precies hoe dat gaat in Roadburn HQ, maar wel dat er uit liefde voor en kwaliteit van bands wordt
Nog maar drie nachtjes slapen tot Roadburn en op NMTH blikken we elke dag vooruit. Het is wel nog zes nachtjes wachten op Coilguns, maar dan heb je ook wat: Vier Zwitersers komen je schedel kraken met een gemene mix van noise, hardcore en punk. Coilguns is de naam en de macabere, roodtgetinte video duurt slecht 1 minuut. Het nummwer Wind Machines For Company stamt van Coilguns tweede album Millennials, dat maart
In recent years, the Dutch black metal scene has shown a number of prodigies. Young acts with a fresh approach to the iconoclastic genre, with little regard for purism and conservative views. During Roadburn, you’ve already been able to sample their wares throughout recent editions, but this year on Roadburn-Saturday (13th of April) they will unleash their full creative force with Maalstroom in the Patronaat. Maalstroom, which translates as… well,
