Erste Infos und Bands für das ROADBURN FESTIVAL 2016

Es gibt erste News für das ROADBURN FESTIVAL 2016: Zwei Headliner und der Kurator des Festivals stehen fest.

NEUROSIS werden ihr dreißigjähriges Bestehen mit einem Auftritt bei dem niederländischen Festival feiern. Außerdem wurden PARADISE LOST mit einer speziellen Show bestätigt: Die Doom-Legende wird ihr wegweisendes Album "Gothic" in voller Länge spielen. Kurator der 2016er-Ausgabe ist Lee Dorrian, der mit CATHEDRAL ebenfalls Doom-Geschichte geschrieben hat.

Hier die Statements der Beteiligten dazu:

NEUROSIS:

"To be invited to celebrate our 30th anniversary in Europe at Roadburn is an absolute honor.  Roadburn is a treasured and unique event that embodies the spirit of open minded community and original, emotional heavy music. We are humbled to be a part of it again."


Nick Holmes für PARADISE LOST:

“As a young band we spent a good deal of time in the early 90’s driving around The Netherlands in a small transit van, living off chips with mayonnaise, drinking Chocomel and playing stuff from this album. 'Gothic' totally reminds me of those days, so if we were ever going to play the album in its entirety in 2016, it has to be in The Netherlands, and where better than the Roadburn Festival!!”


Lee Dorrian:

"I feel very honoured to be handed this prestigious task to curate Roadburn 2016. Having been involved with Walter on a personal level for many years now, I always felt like part of the family, as opposed to being someone on the outside. So, with that in mind, I was both shocked and excited when he asked me to take on this fantastic opportunity. 
I promise to make this an event that no-one will forget, and I'm already frothing at the potential of possibilities available!! It's a dream and one that I never expected. This is what I love, so I will not disappoint. Come and join us in this ritualistic nirvana of praise and offerings to the unholy Blind Dead. Templars Arise!"
