Roadburn 2019 - Headliner, Curator And More Announced
The people behind the long-running Roadburn festival have released exciting news regarding its 2019 edition, set for April 11-14th. The headliner, curator, and more bands have now been announced. This year's curator is Tomas Lindberg, best known as the frontman of At The Gates, Disfear, and other bands. The headliner is legendary stoner doom band Sleep, who will play two sets.
The press release states: "Roadburn is thrilled to welcome Sleep back to the festival as our main headliners for 2019. In two career-spanning sets, Sleep will shine the spotlight first on their iconic album, Holy Mountain, and then the following night focus on their latest - crushing - release, The Sciences. There will be enough time for some bonus tracks and surprises, adding to the once-in-a-lifetime feel of this pair of sets."
The festival will also include two rare sets by goth/noise/shoegaze/etc act Have A Nice Life. One show will be dedicated to their cult classic debut Deathconsciousness, which turned 10 this year, and the other will be a "regular" show.
Tomas Lindberg commented: "Roadburn for me has always been about eclecticism, and underground music of all styles that desperately demand your attention. Walter and I have already started talking about possibilities, and I am super excited about the direction of these talks. See you there!"
Also added to the lineup are Birds In Row, Vile Creature, Midnight and Seven That Spells. They join previously announced acts Heilung, Louise Lemón and Gore.
Check out the festival's page for more details and stay tuned for ticketing info in the near future.

Oh come on, 2 Sleep sets and neither of them are Dopesmoker?? Only joking, although they could probably fit everything they've ever released into 2 2-hour sets like Neurosis played in 2016 when they headlined

Same here. I'll catch Sleep's Holy Mountain set if nothing of importance is in my way but Deathconsciousness?!?!?! That shit is a must.

I wouldn't be surprised if Tomas Lindberg talked Baroness into doing another accoustic show

Looks very decent for now. Would be extra-cool if Midnight played a surprise show at 1am in Cul De Sac  Written by [user id=173045] on 16.08.2018 at 21:48 I definitely think Eindhoven is the place with most hotel options, since Tilburg is always full. There are other places around (Breda, etc), but Eindhoven is biggest-best-better- I stayed there in 2016, and the whole daily way around trip was fine and all. Quite expensive though, so if I return (maybe), I'd try one of the bungalows or flexhotel thing at the campsite.

Hmmm not super sold so far this year, as I actually know few of the artists at this point. Let's hope the next batch has some bands I'm super excited to see. Also probably gonna stay at the camp site again. Though maybe depending on the circumstances of my arrival and who I bring with me I might stay at my cousin's house in a nearby town.
