This striking image is the opening chapter of a triptych that will unfold across the months ahead. Together, the three pieces will guide us through Roadburn’s past, present, and future explorations of heaviness in all its forms. Few artists capture that sense of discovery and fearless creativity quite like Douwe, which makes him the perfect companion for this journey.

Based in Groningen (NL), Douwe has built a reputation through his long-standing work with the legendary Vera Groningen Club, where he has created over a hundred collectible silkscreen posters. His work was celebrated at Roadburn 2025 in a special exhibition at the 013, and we’re excited to see him leave his mark on the festival once again.

The adventure begins now – this is just the first glimpse of what’s to come for Roadburn 2026.
