For the last two years, we have looked down south and focussed on Belgium, together with one of the country’s foremost bookings agencies, RuffStuffMusic. Belgium remains such a fertile breeding ground – this hotbed of musical creativity ranges from tech-core and shoegaze to post-rock, and virtually everything in between – that we will welcome some exciting, cutting edge bands, hailing from our proverbial backyard, for the third year in a row.
Handpicked by RuffstuffMusic, we offer Bear, Hedonist, Lotus, Mantis and Slow Crush the chance to connect with our international community alongside Roadburn’s established acts, during intimate performances at Cul de Sac on Saturday, April 22.
Influenced by the likes of Russian Circles, At The Drive-In and Deafheaven, Mantis tackles the challenges of instrumental post rock – their subtle approach, but also infectious and cathartic energy, speaks volumes for the band’s progressive imprint on this thrilling genre.
