IAN added to the line-up
When we asked you to tell us what was happening in your local underground, one of the names that kept coming back to us from the UK was IAN. You told us about their debut album, about the impact of their live shows, and the amount of love for them was impossible to ignore. When we featured them as part of our underground explorations, your response only made that connection stronger.
So we kept listening. And now we’re incredibly excited to take that conversation one step further: IAN will bring their unique, cinematic take on post-metal to Roadburn 2027 for their first ever show outside the UK.
Kulk’s new album Choosing To Die, the latest in a run of very strong records, made a huge impression on us, and it quickly became clear from your response that we weren’t alone. Their music is bleak, noisy and sludgy, but delivered with an urgency that makes the duo unavoidable. As these things so often go, the connections run deeper: IAN’s cellist Hannah Asprey appears on the album, bringing these two very different but equally heavy worlds even closer together. Kulk will descend upon Roadburn 2027, and we can’t wait to experience that crushing intensity with you
Sometimes following your curiosity leads somewhere special. We have a feeling this will be one of those times.
