The Roadburn 2019 timetables are here! Get your highlighters ready and start planning your festival experience. Naturally with a festival of this size, clashes are inevitable - but please remember that blood, sweat and tears has gone into creating the best line up possible.
At Roadburn this year, we made space for William Lacalmontie to set up a studio within the 013, where he captured these stunning images presented here in this gallery. The intimate photographs are intense and intimate in equal measure.

Roadburn 2019 is officially SOLD OUT!
We never take for granted the support and encouragement that Roadburners show us year after year, and it's extra exciting to be sold out four months before the festival!

In a little over a week all of these artists - and many of you - will be arriving in Tilburg for Roadburn 2022.
The festival has been a real labour of love - some real blood, sweat and tears have gone into bringing this all together.

Our official poster artist for 2018 is the incredible

For our last playlist of the year we asked one of our curators,
@EmmaRuthRundle
, if she would put together a playlist for us. In her words, it’s “sort of all over the place”, but isn’t that the beauty of music discovery? It’s rarely linear.
Here are our four final day posters - created by the masterful
@Maartend
All tickets are sold out - for which we are unbelievably grateful.
See you in April! 💫
We’re extremely proud the Roadburn 2024 line up - here it is in full. As we have said before, this year's Roadburn reflects our very own “underground futurism” approach - to be a showcase for the current underground, inspired by the past but firmly looking into the future as well
The Roadburn 2022 timetables are here!
As ever, this has been a real labour of love - with complex production needs involved, as well as last minute changes & various difficult things to work around. We’re proud of what we’ve put together - enjoy planning your time at Roadburn!
These two! Two collaborators for one of commissioned pieces for Roadburn 2020, met this weekend in Paris to work on the music that we’ll all witness live in April.
We can’t wait to see what
@The_Perturbator
and Johannes of
@Cultofluna_off
come up with!
Congratulations to
@emmaruthrundle
on the recent release of Engine of Hell. Emma is dear friend of Roadburn & an artist who continues to surpass herself on each release. The ability to turn raw vulnerability into a superpower is demonstrated exquisitely on this incredible album🤍
The running orders for Roadburn 2020 are here! Download the TimeSquare app (via

Tonight we were awarded the VNPF Best Festival award! An award voted on by our peers - to get this recognition from people that we respect & admire is such an incredible feeling. A huge thanks to everybody who helps to make Roadburn what it is; we couldn’t do it without you.

As has been said before, this year's Roadburn will be a journey of discovery. The lineup is purposely focused on bands that have begun to make their mark over the last few years, and so, it's also a reflection of the current underground.
for all info
We’ve got BIG NEWS! You know when we announced Santos
@oldmangloomband
‘s singles mixer at Roadburn 2019 & everyone thought it was a good laugh? It definitely *was* a good laugh but we were also really hoping that some romance would blossom among the cocktails-WELL, GUESS WHAT!
So, this year we have two curators - each taking on a little slice of Roadburn for themselves, and putting their stamp on things.
We were already confident that
@EmmaRuthRundle
would be a great curator but now we know what she has in mind... trust us, you're in for some treats.
So, Roadburners... Roadburn Redux is the first time that
#Roadburn
will be accessible to everyone, without financial or geographical restrictions. Who’s going to be “attending” for the first time ever this April?
Stephen Brodsky & Adam McGrath will unite for a special show at Roadburn next weekend, to play tribute to
@oldmangloomband
@SonicDeathwall
musician, Caleb Scofield, who passed away last month.
