Roadburn 2021

z.B.?

ich bin jedenfalls sehr gespannt auf den Gig Kent + Persson!

Ich bin jetzt zu faul zusammenzugoogeln wie die Projekte hiessen:

Aaron Turner und diverse Nasen in der Koepelhall 2018 oder 2019 - schlimm...
Irgendso ein O'Malley / Attila Gedöns mal als Opener in der großen Halle wo Attila irgenwelche Sachen vom Stehpult abgelesen hat und O'Malley im Hintergrund seine Gitarre gestimmt hat - noch schlimmer...
Und irgendein ambient Gedöns mit Justin Broadrick und Fear Falls Burning(?) im Green Room....

Will ja nicht ausschließen, dass es auch gute Collabs gegeben hat.

Das wäre so Dinge, die mir ganz spontan einfallen.
 
Geht zum Glück weitestgehend an mir vorbei. Manche Special Sets machen Sinn und sind gut, andere nicht. Das Roadburn macht das schon deutlich länger als die meisten anderen Festivals, insofern geht das klar. Insbesondere, das sie (zu?) oft die gleichen Künstler buchen und daher etwas Abwechslung bei den Sets garantieren müssen.

Was mich am Roadburn eher nervt sind wahlos zusammengewürfelte Truppen von Musikern, die dann auf der Bühne irgendwas improvisieren, 60min rumtröten und es dann als Supergroup verkaufen.

Kommt immer drauf an, ich meine bei so Sachen wie dem East meets West Kram macht das ja schon Sinn, vor allem bei dem Genre aus dem die Bands kommen. Aber bei den Commissioned Sets von den letzten Jahren bin ich mir noch nicht ganz sicher was ich davon halten soll, ich fand die jetzt nicht schlecht, bin mir aber nicht sicher ob das wirklich der Weg ist den man gehen will, weil nur weil eine Band viele bekannte Namen hat heißt das noch lange nicht das das gut ist.
 
Ignition Lineup:

As has become firm tradition for hundreds of Roadburners, the festival will kick off on Wednesday night with our traditional pre-show party titled Ignition. True to form, we have rounded up three bands that will get your Roadburn experience up and running straight from the off. If you’re a first-timer, it’s a great opportunity to get your bearings at the 013, meet some fellow ‘burners, and of course – to bang your head!

Given that we have Early Graves in town already, we really couldn’t resist inviting them to do a second set and be part of the welcoming committee on Wednesday night. With their hearts in the boogie and their minds in the gutter, Amsterdam‘s Splinter could hardly be more appropriate to launch Roadburn 2020.

Rounding out the bill will be The Dead Cvlt: amped up on a lethal dose of misanthropic black metal, pounding blastbeats and oldschool drum and bass, the Rotterdam based band will offer a suitably fucked up soundtrack for a world visibly in decay by dropping unrelenting amen beats as well.

Admission to Ignition is FREE! The wristband exchange is open on Wednesday night from 6pm so it’s a good opportunity to collect yours and start your whole Roadburn experience nice and early!
 
Und neue Bands:

ALEXIS MARSHALL
Each year there are hotly debated discussions about who was the band of the festival at Roadburn, and in 2019 Daughters was most definitely pushing their way to the top of most people’s lists. Thanks in no small part to Alexis Marshall’s captivating showmanship, Daughters were undoubtedly a highlight of the festival – and beyond, as they lit up year end lists in 2018 and annihilated live shows throughout 2019.

Alexis will be returning to Roadburn 2020 as a solo performer -and we can’t wait to see what he has in store for us. To our unrestrained delight, we’re also thrilled to announce that he will team up with Lingua Ignota on her covers set on Friday. Prepare yourselves for an performance; neither of these artists go light on the gut punches.

DARKHER
The first time we heard Darkher, we knew something special was a-brewing in the Hebden Bridge hinterlands and we immediately invited Jayn Maiven to bring her haunted doom-drenched riffs to Roadburn. With the release of her debut full-length, Realms, she conjured up an emotive and atmospheric record steeped in ethereal magic. The follow up album is due in 2020 via Prophecy Productions, and whilst we anxiously anticipate a new delivery from Darkher, we’re thrilled to announce that they’ll be playing Roadburn 2020. If even a fraction of the bewitching power or the necromancy vibes we experienced the first time around are present, then we can assure you that we’re all in for quite the treat.

FORNDOM
Appearing out of a shadowy mist in 2015, H.L.H. Swärd, the sole member of Swedish entity Forndom, almost instantly captured our collective imagination with a brilliant evocation of Nordic culture and history. After the success of Forndom‘s debut album Dauðra Dura, 2020 will finally see the release of its successor, Faþir, of which we already expect to hear something at Roadburn. However the setlist looks, we are eager to revisit a culture that means so much to all of us once again, now through the unique sonic lens of Forndom.

THE DEVIL’S TRADE
Dávid Makó is a known singer in Hungary‘s metal scene, having fronted Stereochrist and currently holding that post for HAW, but his better known endeavour might well end up being his initially unassuming acoustic solo project, The Devil’s Trade. That he put out an EP last year called Happy Music Is Shit, a phrase also used on some The Devil’s Trade t-shirts that will certainly sell like hot cakes at Roadburn, more or less defines the mood you can expect from Dávid‘s songwriting approach.

LSD AND THE SEARCH FOR GOD
Hypnotic, tripped-out shoegaze with a distinctly West Coast flavor, San Francisco’s LSD and the Search for God gathered a cult-like following within the psychedelic underground by dosing audiences with lysergic performances. They’ve taken a dreamy noise delightfully reminiscent of Creation Records in its heyday (think My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive and Ride), or even Spacemen 3, and made it all their own.

ULVEBLOD
Trailblazing Dutch black metal band, Nihill effectively ended when singer and founding member M passed away last year, and while the heartbreak over the loss of our friend will never quite fade away, at least musically there are further chapters to look forward to. Main Nihill guitarist Vitriol has now created a new entity that naturally shares some strands of DNA with Nihill, not only in the musician’s perfectly unique style of writing and playing, but also in the use of some of the same session players. However, the swirling, hateful, mesmerising chaos of Ulveblod is a vertigo-inducing nightmare all of its own, as it will become apparent both when their debut album is released and when the band performs live for the first time.

DOODSWENS
Perhaps you caught Doodswens at Roadburn last year; the Dutch duo made quite the impact on our 2019 attendees for a band so underground. Few in number but mighty in their mission, Doodswens cultivate true cult black metal vibes, lo-fi production and visceral energy in abundance. It’s why we invited them back for a second year – to give them a bigger stage and a bigger audience, one they already richly deserve.

KODIAN TRIO
Five years might not seem like a long time for a band to exist, but Kodian Trio have packed more wildness and sheer boundless creativity into those five years than many others do in their whole lifetimes. Consisting of Colin Webster on alto sax, Dirk Serries on electric guitar (both of whom have played Roadburn before with Fear Falls Burning) and Andrew Lisle on drums, they’ve been one of the most active bands of their kind, touring their unpredictable free improvisation all over the place and releasing both studio and live albums at a frightening pace.

At Roadburn, the special guest for the show that will celebrate their fifth anniversary shall be none other than bass player Jasper Stadhouders (Cactus Truck, Spinifex, Made To Break), who will add his own brand of low end to the proceedings and help bridge the apparently wide gap between free improvisation and post-punk.

JONAH PARZEN-JOHNSON
There’s a one-of-a-kind compositional style to the solo saxophone projects of New York‘s Jonah Parzen-Johnson. Along with playing on his own, he is a co-leader of Brooklyn Afrobeat outfit Zongo Junction, and an active part of Brooklyn’s independent and experimental music communities. However, Parzen-Johnson’s circular breathing, multiphonics and inclusive experimentalism owe a debt to Chicago‘s storied jazz history as well. Paired with a quirky – almost vocal – approach and experiments with analog synth, hardware samplers and sequencers, Jonah continues to redefine his instrument and share his unique musical world by melding the emotionally evocative nature of folk music with the chilling power of ambient textures.

THE SWEET RELEASE OF DEATH
Rotterdam, as an international port, has always been a breeding point for the Dutch underground, and the city’s own The Sweet Release of Death are no exception, as this angular no wave trio ranks among the most exciting noise bands to come out of The Netherlands right now. Astounding crowds all across our native country and reaping accolades abroad, we felt the urge to present The Sweet Release of Death to our multi-national Roadburn community as well on Friday, 17 April.

MOTOR!K
Stepping out of their comfort zone, Belgium’s Dirk Ivens (known for his industrial/minimalist work with The Klinik and Dive) together with guitarist/synthesist Joeri Dobbeleir (The Whereabouts Of J. Albert) and drummer Dries D’Hollander (ex – Suburb Songs), forges a new path artistically and musically with Motor!k. Together they celebrate the roots of electronica in krautrock – highlighting a glorious and underexplored kosmische tradition.

OF BLOOD AND MERCURY
The figures on stage as Of Blood and Mercury may not be entirely unfamiliar to you, as Olivier J.LW and Michelle Nocon have both performed at Roadburn under different guises (they appeared separately in their other bands Emptiness and Bathsheba in 2017). The divergence from the heaviness of their other projects may come as a surprise to some, but any hesitance will be washed away with their majestic dark dream pop. The album they’ll be presented is titled Strangers; a collection of ten missives expressing a longing for a time and place that one remembers but never experienced. They describe it as making a connection between two separate worlds: “the material one and the work of ghosts.”

VONNIS
When you’re a band as young as Vonnis are, both in age of the band and its respective members, and you’ve already built the kind of live reputation they have, it means you’re doing something special. Reflecting the chaos of the world we currently live in, ever since the Belgian city of Ghent coughed them up in 2015 they have been tearing shit down everywhere they go, evoking the destructive ghosts of bands like Catharsis, Death Grips, Converge or Trash Talk in the way they build something out of destruction, how they mix love and hate, hope and despair, darkness and light into something inspiring.
 
Sind ein paar gute Sachen dabei: Doodswens ❤️, Darkher, Ulveblod und LSD And The Search For God werde ich mir wohl angucken, wenn es die Running Order zulässt. Richtig unnötig finde ich hingegen die Freejazzer Kordian Trio...
 
Haha. Ich hab eigentlich nichts gegen wohldosiertes Saxophon. Gibt genug Bands, die ich mag, bei denen es eine tragende Rolle spielt. Im Freejazz-Kontext kann ich das aber nicht ertragen. Und (für meine Ohren) schlimmeren/nervigeren Freejazz als die oben genannte Band hab ich tatsächlich noch nicht gehört. Ist das in der Szene dann eigentlich schon wieder ein Qualitätsmerkmal?
 
Für mich klingen Saxophon und Klarinette grauenvoll, da bin ich aber auch persönlich "traumatisiert".
Da die Ausnahme die Regel bestätigt, mag ich hingegen Sigh sehr.

So und während ich mal genannte Band youtube (o_O), gebe ich wieder zurück zum eigentlichen Thema.
Cheerz
 
Mit diesem Freejazz-Kram kann ich zwar nichts anfangen, finde das aber auch nicht so schlimm. Können ja auch Leute nichts mit Drone anfangen wie Boris mit SOMA vor ein paar Jahren, was mir wiederum gut gefiel. Zudem bin ich mittlerweile gar nicht mehr so arg enttäuscht wenn in ner Ankündigung nicht so viel für mich dabei ist, Line-Up bietet schon genug Potenzial für unangenehme Überschneidungen, da sind mir solche uninteressanten Acts teils sogar recht.
 
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 and 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.

DOOMSTAR haben eben eine Co-Headline-Tour von Elisabeth Colour Wheel (schon fürs RB bestätigt) und BODY VOID angekündigt und auf dem Plakat steht in den Terminen auch was vom Roadburn.
Das wär ja was! Endlich mal wieder eine Roadburn-Band (nach meinem Verständnis, haha).
 
Endlich ist klar, wie die Het Patronaat-Bühne ersetzt wird:

As many of you will be well aware - we no longer have Het Patronaat as part of the Roadburn footprint as it has moved on and found another purpose in life. As much as we’ll be sad to be without that iconic little venue, we have some exciting plans afoot for Roadburn 2020 - but we need your help.

Attendees from the last couple of years will be familiar with de Koepelhal, and this year it will be transformed to house TWO venues - one of 1,750 capacity, one of 1,200 capacity (no more queues - we have 'extra' capacity now). The merchandise will be just next door in the Pit Stop, and the whole of the Koepelhal will be in use for bands. There will be a divide in the middle of the room, with separate entrances for each stage (i.e you can't go between them inside), and the stages will not clash.

Pre-production for these stages is going swimmingly, there’s just one problem… or rather two. What are we going to call these two stages?! Your suggestions are welcomed below - and we’ll whittle them down to a short list. Help us name this part of the Roadburn story!

Finde ich eine gute Lösung, denn ich hatte schon befürchtet, dass auf eine weiter entfernte Halle hinauslaufen würde. :top:


.....und falls jemand wissen möchte, was aus dem Het Patronaat geworden ist, gibt es hier einen entsprechenden Artikel:

Achtung! Die Bilder könnten auf langjährige Roadburn-Besucher verstörend wirken!

Das ist wirklich eine Schande, auch wenn der Sound nicht immer so gut wie auf den anderen Bühnen war, war das schon eigentlich immer eine coole Location gewesen.
 
Die Lösung ist zwar ziemlich gut, denn auch ich habe noch mehr Laufwege befürchtet, aber was aus dem Het Patronaat gemacht wurde ist einfach nur traurig...
