Roadburn’s side programme is designed to complement the main musical programming and offer you a glimpse behind the curtain of the workings of some of the wonderful folk that make Roadburn what it is. 

This year we’ll host four “In Conversation” artist talks – one with Cult of Luna, one with commissioned artist Kim Hoorweg, and one with commissioned artist and Triennium Artist in Residence, Lane Shi. The art collective Malleus will be talking about their work which will be on display at the NS16 throughout the festival. We’ll also have a panel discussion on the benefits (and pitfalls!) of going against the grain as artists operating within the music industry, featuring Lev from Krallice, Matt from Portrayal of Guilt, Sam aka Lana Del Rabies and Leo from Street Sects. Andreas Kohl will be prising open the Vinyl Veda Vault once again, to rattle a few crates and dissect the latest advancements in the world of vinyl alongside guests Marika Zorzi (The Flenser), Ruben Planting (Tiny Vinyl, Good Neighbor Music) and Jens Prüter (Nuclear Blast). And, last but not least, Roadburn’s artistic director, Walter, will be fielding your questions on Sunday afternoon –  nothing is off limits!
