In keeping with what has become Roadburn tradition, Cul de Sac – our fifth, and most intimate stage – returns for the 2017 festival. Once again, in collaboration with Never Mind The Hype (a independent Dutch music platform for everything heavy, alternative and deviant), we will focus on bringing you the most promising Dutch and Belgian bands, plus others from futher afield.
Positioned just around the corner from the 013 venue, the intimate surroundings of the Cul de Sac mean you can get up close and personal with some of the most exciting bands the underground scene has to offer, squeezed in alongside some established acts too! Early arrival is definitely advised so you don’t miss your (soon to be) favorite bands.
Finally, Turia, and it’s apt that they’re left for last, because this mysterious Amsterdam / Nijmegen trio will leave you bereft of the will to listen to anything else, and also the will to live if you stand too close to the amps and let their chillingly emotionless black metal wash over you. Ruthlessly lo fi with T‘s agonizing vocals revealing a deep river of despair, they have in their second record Dede Kondre one of the year’s discographic highlights so far.
