Ready to start planning your Roadburn 2027? Day tickets and two-day tickets go on sale on Friday, October 23 at 12PM CET!

Alongside regular day tickets, you’ll be able to choose from three two-day combinations: Thursday and Friday, Friday and Saturday, or Saturday and Sunday.

We know many of you have been waiting for these tickets, even as the line-up continues to take shape. We’re working hard to bring everything together, and there’s plenty more to come.

Thanks for being part of this journey with us. We can’t wait to share more of Roadburn 2027 – and to see you in Tilburg next April!

Hailing from Tijuana, Mexico, Violencia are the sonic embodiment that their name suggests. Leaning into powerviolence, hardcore and great big chugging riffs, the impact of a little time in their company is, as one would hope, like taking a punch full in the face. So, with that in mind, we’re delighted to be welcoming them to Roadburn in April. 

With their lyrics sung in Spanish, even for the monolingual or non-Spanish speakers amongst us, their intentions are pretty overt. With song titles that translate to the likes of The Agony of Living, Polarised World and Success is the Drug of the Future, it’s safe to say that they deal with the existential terror of navigating the vagaries of modern life – and they’re far from thrilled about it. All that rage and turmoil is bundled up and spat out by way of their short, sharp, blistering songs. We have every expectation that Violencia will deliver their distinctive, raw and honest take on hardcore in a way that truly leaves its mark on Tilburg.

The band comments: “We love the Netherlands, it is always mind blowing to be able to travel and play there. As a band from Mexico, the idea of being part of the world wide festivals just seemed very far away, so we are very excited to play Roadburn and meet the scene surrounding it”

See you down the front.

Long-time Roadburners will remember the Afterburner: a separate but related event that kept things going on the Sunday after the main Roadburn programme. As Roadburn evolved into the four-day festival we know today, the Afterburner became part of our history – but the idea of creating something distinct around the festival never left us. Over the years, we started dreaming about turning that idea around: what if we created something special to kick it all off?

In collaboration with 013, we’re proud to co-host The Grand Opening of Roadburn 2027 with a 16 Horsepower performance at 013.

When 013 had the opportunity to book 16 Horsepower on the Wednesday before Roadburn, we simply had to jump at the chance to join forces to make something special happen. 16 Horsepower have been at the top of our wishlists for as long as we can remember, their music pivotal to so much of what the festival has grown to embrace. While our paths with David Eugene Edwards have crossed several times – through Wovenhand appearances, including that legendary 2011 show, and his unforgettable solo performance – 16 Horsepower themselves have always remained out of reach. To finally welcome them to Tilburg under the Roadburn banner feels like a big piece of our own history falling into place. A long-held dream, finally coming true.

This show requires a separate ticket. Because of the close connection between 013 and Roadburn, we’re happy to make sure our community gets the first opportunity to be part of this special night. Roadburn 2027 ticket holders and newsletter subscribers will have access to an exclusive pre-sale before the general sale. Keep an eye on your inbox for details. General sale starts Monday, October 12th at 10pm CET via www.013.nl

At the same time, The Spark will be happening at the Next Stage as always – free and open to everyone, whether you have a Roadburn ticket or not. It remains our traditional Wednesday gathering, when our community starts to arrive and come together in Tilburg. Whether you’re rocking out to 16 Horsepower or getting your party started at The Spark, we’ll see you in Tilburg on Wednesday, April 14. Wherever you are, that’s where Roadburn 2027 begins.

Community · Connection · Curiosity · Creativity

These ideas sit at the very heart of Roadburn, shaping what we do and where we go next. When Malleus returned to the festival earlier this year, bringing their incredible body of work to Tilburg for a special exhibition, something immediately clicked into place. Watching the connection between their art and our community come alive again felt like an old bond reinvigorated. So, we invited Malleus to bring their own curiosity and creativity to help connect the Roadburn community in 2027.

Today, we’re revealing the first part of Malleus’ artwork for Roadburn 2027: the opening panel of a triptych that will gradually unfold. Across three pieces, their world and ours will weave around each other like two merging cosmic entities. Two creative universes, a shared history and the same instinct to keep exploring beyond boundaries.

Formed in Italy by artists Lu, Urlo and Poia – with the latter two also known as members of Ufomammut – Malleus have developed an unmistakable visual language through illustration, screen printing, poster art and music. Their relationship with Roadburn stretches back many years, including creating the main poster artwork for Roadburn 2009. This new collaboration feels both like a continuation of that history and the start of a new chapter.

There’s much more of Malleus’ vision still to reveal – and much more of Roadburn 2027 waiting to take shape.

We’re well on our way. Come with us.

While diving into the Brazilian underground as part of our ongoing global explorations, we came across Antropoceno – the incredible project of Lua Viana – and immediately fell in love with what we heard. Antropoceno draws on Brazilian musical traditions, mixing them with experimental rock and metal. Their music explores our relationship with the Earth, rejecting the idea of nature as merely a resource and looking towards ancestral knowledge for another way forward. Now, as they prepare for their first ever journey to Europe, we’re so excited to welcome them that we simply couldn’t wait to share the news with you: Antropoceno will perform the remarkable No Ritmo da Terra in its entirety at Roadburn 2027.

Lua comments: “We’re so excited to play at Roadburn! Having a European tour by itself is a dream coming true, but it’s even better to have the opportunity to play at a festival that’s open to the environmentalist message and the multicultural fusion approach that comes with Antropoceno experimentations. It’s so important to have intercultural contact based on alterity and respect. I can’t wait to play Brazilian rhythms in Roadburn and show to our fans in Europe how the legacy of the Anthropophagic Movement can be felt to this day in all Latin America, and how rich and multifaceted our culture is.”

After the incredible response to last week’s Neurosis announcement, we couldn’t wait to share a little more of what we’re building for Roadburn 2027.

Joining the line-up are three very special additions:

• Emma Ruth Rundle, returning to Tilburg for a full performance of her forthcoming album These Killing Times;
• Sadness and Trhä, two projects rooted in black metal from cult underground artist Damián Ojeda, both making their European live debuts.
  Three artists, three very different worlds that we are bringing together through Roadburn 2027

Consider this another glimpse of where we’re heading.

All bands that perform at Roadburn are woven into the festival’s history, but few have the presence and power to help truly define Roadburn. Neurosis is unquestionably such a band. With new album An Undying Love For A Burning World, claiming a spot in the upper echelons of the Neurosis discography, and having just performed their first show in almost seven years at Fire In The Mountains, we’re absolutely over the moon to be able to announce that Neurosis will return to Roadburn in 2027. They will perform two sets, the details of which will be revealed further down the line.

Steve Von Till comments:
“There are few places in the world that feel like home to our music the way Roadburn does; where we are in the company of kindred spirits who share our endless obsession for emotional, genre defying, independent heavy music. Roadburn is a place where the fourth wall, that imaginary boundary between artists and audience, dissolves as we all become one: a community that gathers together to honor and celebrate the healing power of intense dark music as a way to stay sane in an insane world. Now, as we have re-emerged from the darkness with the album of our lives, we can’t imagine making our return to Europe in any place other than Roadburn. ”

At this years Roadburn, we hosted an exhibition (in the 013 venue and the Spoorzone) featuring the work of contributors to For The Outcasts zine, a collective of photographers united by their desire to document a variety of DIY scenes across Europe. Their work is rooted in collaboration and connection, claiming space to share their experiences and viewpoints. As women, non-binary, queer, and trans artists, they are united in their struggle and their determination to embody the spirit of punk; through their photography and their work out there in the world.

Of their exhibition at Roadburn, the collective commented:

”We are For The Outcast — a collective of women, non-binary, queer and trans photographers documenting DIY scenes across Europe. Being part of Roadburn this year was a massive honor; seeing our photos framing the very spaces where bands we admire were playing felt surreal. Roadburn is a true sanctuary for the underground. We are profoundly grateful to a team that doesn’t just look at our work, but deeply understands its value. From start to finish, the Roadburn crew met us with nothing but warmth, respect, and unwavering support.”

We’re extremely proud that these amazing artists were a part of Roadburn 2026. Below you can relive their exhibition and be sure to keep an eye out for them.

Having collected memorabilia as well as oral histories relating to the festival, the Archiving Heaviness project – which is led by a heritage researcher and enthusiastic Roadburner – evolved further at this years festival. Every morning they recorded a conversation to further capture the essence of Roadburn and our community. Each conversation was led by a different host who invited the guests to talk about Roadburn.

You can listen to these conversations in the upcoming weeks on the Roadburn Essentials Podcast. The first episode is a conversation between Thorsten Schaeben (Veil of Sound), Necati Tüfenk, Joe Romero and Tim Gotch about Roadburn as a global community.
