ROADBURN FESTIVAL 2008
April 17 - 20, 2008, 013 Tilburg, The Netherlands

Here's the first official newsletter of Roadburn Festival 2008.

Swiss advant garde/metal pioneers CELTIC FROST have been confirmed as the main headliner of the 13th annual Roadburn Festival, which will take place
April 18-19, 2008, at the 013 Club in Tilburg, The Netherlands. Although CELTIC FROST are recognized as a pivotal influence on both the extreme metal and gothic metal genres, Roadburn also considers CELTIC FROST a seminal influence on the current stoner, doom and psychedelic scene. Indeed, we feel CELTIC FROST merits notice alongside such established pioneers as Hawkwind and Black Sabbath.

In celebration of this lesser-acknowledged side to the metal giants, CELTIC FROST will perform a special one-off show at Roadburn, comprised of a repertoire which will be slightly different from the tour repertoire played in 2006 and 2007. CELTIC FROST will be playing on Saturday, April 19, 2008. Tom Gabriel Fischer: "We are very proud to have been invited to headline Roadburn. Much like Celtic Frost, Roadburn follows an artistic path which deviates slightly from the norm. We all think that Roadburn and Celtic Frost is a perfect combination, and we are looking forward very much to our concert there."

Also scheduled to appear on the Saturday Roadburn date are cult-doomsters Electric Wizard, Cult of Luna, Acid Mother's Guru, The Heads, Year of No Light, Kongh, Dixie Witch, Lesbian, Electric Orange, Nadja and My Sleeping Karma amongst others.


Witchcraft, Tony McPhee's Groundhogs, Baby Woodrose, Danava, Mos Generator, Blood of The Sun, Gentleman's Pistols, ZoneSix, La Ira de Dios and Church of Misery amongst others will play on Friday, April 18, 2008.



There will also be 2 additional dates added to Roadburn 2008: Thursday, April 17th [Roadburn's Pre-heat], and Sunday, April 20th [Roadburn's Afterburner --Kentucky's The Glasspack will play an exclusive show, making their European debut ]. The Roadburn Festival is currently talking to David Tibet/Current 93 about a very special curated evening at the festival's main-hall on Sunday, April 20, 2008. More info to follow.

Please note: there will be separate tickets available for these additional shows.



Originally a spin-off of the Roadburn web site, the Roadburn Festival has emerged as an event in its own right --it was even nominated for the prestigious 'festival of the year' award in the Netherlands this year. Roadburn brings together bands, fans and media from around the world. Despite its international acclaim, Roadburn retains an underground vibe and ethics, but with seriously big-league production values.



Ticketing and camping information will be forthcoming as soon as the lineup is solidified. We're aiming to get this done in November.



Pre-sales start at the end of November. I'll keep you 'burners posted.

Hope to see you all at Roadburn 2008. I'm up for it

Die zat gisteren in mijn mailbox.

Ik hoop trouwens dat Vibravoid eens naar NL komt.
Vandaag van Vibravoid Triptamine E.P. Volume 1 (white clear vinyl) en Volume 2 (yellow clear vinyl) gekocht.



Vibravoid maakt een ontzettende lekkere psychedelische en fuzzy stoner.

Oja het zijn duitsers, hier is hun myspace en dit is hun homepage.
Zitten op Nasoni, het andere goede duitse stonerlabel.

Gewoon in de platenzaak.

Morgen naar FU in de 013. Volgens mij is die gig bijna uitverkocht. De dag daarna in doornroosje kan ik helaas niet.

Ja weet ik. Denk dat ik daar eerst ga kijken.

Iedereen die nog twijfelt over FU in doornroosje vanavond... Gaan!
Ze waren in de 013 erg goed. Trouwens wat blijft Saturn 3 gaaf.
