Roadburn 2018 Comes To A Close, First Bands Booked For 2019


Roadburn Festival 2018 concluded late last night, and earlier this morning. The weekend spectacle taking over Tilburg in the Netherlands was amazing in every level. One hundred bands performed to 4000 fest attendees. Our extensive review is coming soon at Ghost Cult. Meanwhile, the fest has offered a recap of this year and a look ahead to 2019.

Artistic director, Walter Hoeijmakers comments:

“The sheer diversity of the artists represented at Roadburn this year was overwhelming, and even more so was the response from the audience that welcomed these creatives with open arms. I couldn’t have asked for more from Roadburn 2018; this was a truly special weekend that will spur me on and inspire me for working on Roadburn 2019.”


Roadburn Festival has announced the first names for the 2019 edition which will take place 11-14 April next year.

Heilung will bring their shamanic, amplified history from early medieval Northern Europe to the 2019 festival.

Louise LĂ©mon will be preaching her death gospel to the gathered masses.

Gore, the legendary Dutch avant-garde hardcore pioneers, are reuniting to focus on Lifelong Deadline.

More line up announcements and ticket information will follow.
