We were duty-bound to keep this announcement to ourselves until now, however, we’re happy to announce that KMRU will be joining the Roadburn 2026 lineup. In a case of last but very far from least, KMRU will bring his incredible, transformative ambient work to Roadburn on the Sunday afternoon.
KMRU is the moniker under which Nairobi-born, Berlin-based Joseph Kamaru releases music. For the uninitiated, time is short to acquaint yourself with his enveloping, textural ambient sounds, so we strongly suggest you start with his latest release, Kin. Whilst there are many beautiful sounds woven into the fabric of KMRU’s work, Kin possesses a disquieting energy, a rumble that threatens to disrupt the shimmering surface. Through many layers of intricate and interconnected threads, he has created something that quietly demands your full attention.
Now you have your chance to give him exactly that; join us in welcoming this extraordinary talent to Roadburn in just a few short days from now.
