New Roadburn Essential Stories with Mat McNerney
Mat McNerney is a true Roadburn veteran. Several of his bands have graced our stages throughout the years, including Hexvessel, Beastmilk, and Grave Pleasures, and McNerney is a very important part of the 2024 edition. He has created the very first music of the festival, in a way, with the eerie ambient sounds you heard in the gorgeous David Fitt video and even the intro and outro for this very podcast.
Next April, he will also be a central part of two crucial, already-announced Roadburn performances, namely Hexvessel playing their latest glacial marvel of an album, ‘Polar Veil,’ in its entirety, and a brand new commissioned piece of which we only know the title: ‘Music for Gloaming: A Nocturne by the Hexvessel Folk Assembly.’
Naturally we decided it was absolutely necessary to sit down and talk to Mat properly about all of these things. As usual with this supremely talented artist, we got more than we bargained for, including a few hints and insights on what the commissioned piece might actually look and sound like, even at this early stage of its development.
Listen to the entire conversation on Roadburn Essential Stories at Roadburn.com or Spotify.

As we have mentioned before, there will be no new lineup announcement prior to this. We are extremely proud of the first names we revealed, as they are a really good indicator of what this edition will actually be, musically and artistically. Right now, we are talking to many bands and artists to try to get them to the festival, and we need to take some time to make our vision a reality.
As we all know, things move slower post-pandemic, but we are sure that the wait and the hard work will be worth it in the end.
Thank you all so much for your patience and for putting your trust in us.

All the ticket options are available to view on the ticket page right here on the Roadburn website. Your purchase will be made via ticketmaster.nl so if you’ve not ordered from them before, you may wish to set up an account ahead of tickets going on sale for a smoother check out.
Accommodation options are also listed here on the Roadburn website, and those transactions will also be processed via Ticketmaster.nl. You can book your accommodation at the same time as you book your tickets, or make separate purchases. If you are booking accommodation, do be sure to book your festival ticket as well (i.e accommodation packages do not include a ticket).
We are aware that everything is more expensive than it used to be – and we looked into ways that the cost of Roadburn could be spread out over multiple payments. Unfortunately, this is complicated to implement for international visitors due to Dutch regulations and restrictions. For the time being, our best advice would be to spread the cost yourself – you could book your ticket one month, accommodation the next, then your travel after that. Our regular attendees have a wealth of experience and knowledge about this, so if you want some tips, our Roadburners facebook group will be sure to help you out.
If your questions can’t be answered here or elsewhere on the Roadburn website, then you can always ask us for what you need and we’ll do our best to help!

Roadburn announces first names for 2024 including The Jesus and Mary Chain, Chelsea Wolfe, Lankum and clipping.
Having already announced KHANATE for the 2024 edition of the festival, Roadburn has today made its first broader line up announcement, including THE JESUS AND MARY CHAIN, CHELSEA WOLFE, LANKUM, and CLIPPING. Roadburn 2024 will take place between 18-21 April in Tilburg, The Netherlands.
Roadburn’s artistic director, Walter Hoeijmakers, comments:
“With this announcement, we are diving straight into the heart of what Roadburn 2024 is about. These artists that we are proud to unveil today are all of great significance for what the festival has become in recent times. We feel these artists represent the broad scope of Roadburn. With the first of the commissioned music projects also being revealed, we are as always, looking firmly into the future as well, presenting entirely new music. This is the start of many great things to come.”
It’s simply not possible to capture the true essence of THE JESUS AND MARY CHAIN within a few words. They are a band who have made such an impact on the world within which Roadburn operates, their legend feels outsized, too large to fully comprehend. The Jesus and Mary Chain offer up a heady blend of fuzz and melody as a transportation device; whisking us a way to a different time and place of rose-tinted romance, wistful existentialism and just the right dose of hedonism.
Alongside the announcement of a new CHELSEA WOLFE album, we’re thrilled to reveal plans for her return to mainland Europe – at Roadburn 2024. In the twelve years since her first Roadburn appearance, this already remarkable artist has blossomed into an unstoppable force. As a songwriter and consummate creative entity incorporating evocative songwriting and unparalleled artistic vision, Chelsea Wolfe wraps the entire package in an ethereal, shimmering bow.
To witness LANKUM live is an intimate experience – no matter the size of the room. The four Irish musicians on stage play a dizzying array of instruments between them and possess a deep understanding of traditional folk, an appreciation of heaviness and deft hand for putting a twist on what has gone before them in the folk genre.
Experimental hip hop trio CLIPPING will make their Roadburn debut in 2024. A force to be reckoned with in the live arena, their minimalist onstage aesthetic belies the sonic complexities that they effuse. Experimenting with confrontation and heaviness within hip hop is part of what makes Clipping so exciting, and to our ears, makes them a band that belongs at the heart of what we do at Roadburn.
The first commissioned performance of 2024 to be announced will be crafted by the hand of MAT MCNERNEY. Music for Gloaming: A Nocturne by the Hexvessel Folk Assembly will be an entirely original composition, written and performed exclusively at Roadburn 2024. Evoking night-time mysticism, a realm where daylight bows to advancing darkness, unraveling both the external twilight tapestry and the internal landscapes of memory and thought, this commissioned work promises to be something truly special.
Additionally, HEXVESSEL will perform their latest album, Polar Veil in full at Roadburn 2024. On this striking release, a majestic shroud of black metal grandiosity is overlaid upon heaving doom and psychedelic flourishes that capture what is at the heart of Hexvessel.
Los Angeles based ecstatic black metal group, AGRICULTURE, will make their European debut at Roadburn, flying in for an exclusive one-off performance.
Mysterious Dutch black metal band, FLUISTERAARS will play their second ever show – their first in mainland Europe – at Roadburn, showcasing what has made them such an integral part of the underground black metal scene for so many years.
CLOAKROOM will bring their particular take on interplanetary exploration to Tilburg, playing tracks from their latest album, Dissolution Wave and more.
With the promise of a new album on the horizon, melancholic black metallers DÖDSRIT will return to Roadburn this coming April.
Delivering a dose of bloodsoaked blasphemy, DEVIL MASTER will make their Roadburn debut, traveling from Philadelphia to bring their malevolent magick to the masses.
The artwork for Roadburn 2024 has been unveiled; a striking video created by French artist, David Fitt is available to view in full via the Roadburn website. This extraordinarily talented French artist has been on our radar for some time now, and we had the great honour of hosting an exhibition of his portraits at Roadburn 2023. From there our appreciation for his work blossomed into a creative relationship that has resulted in the work that we’re thrilled to present to represent the 2024 edition of the festival. Read more about David’s artwork for Roadburn HERE.
4-day tickets for Roadburn 2024 are now on sale. Other ticket options – including single day tickets and accommodation – will follow on November 3. More artists will be announced in the coming weeks. For all information including tickets, please visit www.roadburn.com
Roadburn 2024 by David Fitt
This extraordinarily talented French artist has been on our radar for some time now, and we had the great honour of hosting an exhibition of his portraits at Roadburn 2023. From there our appreciation for his work blossomed into a creative relationship that has resulted in the work that we’re thrilled to present today.
Of course, this doesn’t come as a surprise to us – having admired his work from afar for so long, we’re well aware of his wealth of talent. Having been gifted his first camera as a teenager, it took a few years for his interest in the medium to truly flourish. His videographic work with Perturbator and Grave Pleasures caught our eye and invited us into his technicolour world. His style is a continuation of the incredible French artists that have gone before him – painters, photographers and cinematographers alike – capturing both the dreamlike and hyper-real in one meticulously sculpted portfolio of work.
It’s a privilege to have David be a part of Roadburn 2024, please take a few moments to explore what he’s created just for us.
