Roadburn has today confirmed a new group of names for the 2022 edition of the festival – including three performances for the regular Wednesday night pre-party, and a new edition to Milena Eva and Thomas Sciarone’s curated event.
Roadburn’s artistic director, Walter Hoeijmakers comments:”Following the success of Roadburn Redux we’re very proud to have a number of special sets and collaborations from Dutch artists at Roadburn this year – further emphasising Roadburn 2022’s artistic scope. With Europe opening up even further, things are looking really good for Roadburn this year, and we’re so looking forward to welcoming everyone to Tilburg in two months from now. Before then, we still have several more announcements up our sleeve, so stay tuned!
DEAD NEANDERTHALS will make a triumphant return to Roadburn as they team up with SOLAR TEMPLE for a special collaborative project titled Embers Beget The Divine. Dead Neanderthals will be a familiar name for Roadburners: they’ve spent the past decade-plus putting together an eclectic and envious back catalogue that spans multiple genres – from free-jazz to grindcore by way of psychedelia – and continuously defies expectations. No strangers to collaborations, they have now teamed up with Solar Temple – a more stage-shy ensemble but no less of an enticing prospect.
RADAR MEN FROM THE MOON will perform three times – once at the pre-party (more of which in a moment), once under, once with an electronic set, and once with a specially commissioned collaborative set that will see them team up with TWIN SISTER (Dead Neanderthals, Sex Swing), titled Mirrors For Discharge.
MANDY, INDIANA are the latest addition to Milena Eva and Thomas Sciarone’s curated event. Their fusion of hypnotic beats and discordant noise come together to create something that’s both fascinating and immersive.
With the unmistakable vocals of Farida Lemouchi at the helm, GOTT have also been added to the line up. Also featuring members of Soulburn, Severe Torture, Ggu:ll, Dodecahedron and Radar Men From The Moon, Gott are a veritable who’s who of the Dutch music scene. Elsewhere we’ve added SUPERSONIC BLUES to bring some 70’s rock vibes to Roadburn, and THE BALLET BOMBS who will be making their long overdue Roadburn debut as well as releasing their brand new live record titled Mutations at the festival.
The aforementioned pre-show party, now happening under the name The Spark, will serve as a welcome party for Roadburners old and new and will take place on Wednesday, 20 April. Joining Radar Men From The Moon will be Berlin’s MAGGOT HEART bringing their raucous take on noise rock ‘n’ roll to Tilburg, and BAD BREEDING who will be letting off steam with their blistering anarcho-punk-hardcore.
These artists will join the already announced Roadburn 2022 line up that includes Ulver, Lingua Ignota, 40 Watt Sun, Emma Ruth Rundle, Liturgy, SLIFT, Full of Hell, Die Wilde Jagd, Cloud Rat and many more. Read more about them here:
