There’s never a bad time to announce an opportunity to spend time in the company of Bosse-de-Nage, but the fact that – whisper it – new music will be coming from them in 2026 makes this an absolutely perfect time to do just that. We’re absolutely sworn to secrecy about the contents of their new album, but it is coming, and it is going to make you feel a whole type of way.
Hailing from San Francisco, the shadowy and mostly anonymous world of Bosse-de-Nage rarely feels akin to what we’d describe as a ‘thoroughly good time’. They thrive in the darkest corners of the psyche; where many are reluctant to shine a light, these guys don a headlamp and set out on an excavation mission. Presenting their findings through the medium of an often excoriating sound – one that is built upon a foundation of black metal that has been twisted and bent to suit their will – Bosse-de-Nage are the definition of an uncompromising proposition.
Of their return to Roadburn, they comment:
“Bosse-de-Nage is thrilled to be invited back to Roadburn, which we consider to be the greatest music festival in the world.”
By all means, revisit their past work ahead of their return to Roadburn but discard any notion of coming prepared; every experience with Bosse-de-Nage is best taken at face value. Come in with a blank slate, leave feeling like you’ll never quite be the same again.
