As we type, Warning are in the midst of recording their first full-length studio album since Watching from a Distance; the album will be released in 2026, a mere twenty years after its predecessor. Roadburners who have been joining us for a while will know that their electrifying performance of their doom metal classic back in 2017 is not one easily forgotten. We’re anticipating a similarly spellbinding performance when Warning return to Roadburn this coming April.
Led by Patrick Walker – whose gift for melodic, emotional delivery pairs exquisitely with mournful doom – Warning are a band that move at their own pace and can’t be lured into action a moment before they’re ready. It was with much patience that the 2017 show came into being, but with the band gearing up for a full album release in the Spring, the time felt right to welcome them back, as Warning mark their return to the live arena and a new era.
Patrick comments, “After our very special Watching from a Distance-set back in 2017, it’s my honour to be bringing Warning back to the Roadburn stage for a new performance. It will be not just the twentieth anniversary of that album’s release, but, more importantly, the cusp of the release of its long-awaited successor, and we’ll be playing songs both old and new. It will again be one of my great privileges to be given the opportunity to perform at this beautiful and iconic festival, amongst so many people now dear to me, and where I’ll always find the kindest audiences anywhere in the world. I look forward to seeing you all.”
