With Roadburn 2025, we want to galvanize our community. To be a force for unity across subcultures, and as a collective, to look at the horizon of the current and future underground, to keep in mind the past, as well as to examine where we’ve come from and why we’re here. If our ‘why’ at Roadburn is to redefine heaviness, we want to say outright that the underground has no limits. 

Part of what we celebrate each year at Roadburn are those artists and bands who are pushing the envelope – both for themselves and others who’ll follow. In 2025, we’ll extend our hand as ever to those whose passion speaks to our own, and our lineup will navigate a fragmented underground in the name of trying to piece together something whole and new from it. 

With this announcement, you can see some of the kinds of voices we want to amplify and hopefully you will get a sense of the spirit in which Roadburn 2025 is being made behind the scenes. Whether you’re coming for the first time, you’re here every year, you’re playing or attending or just reading a quote on the internet, we want to inspire and to bring people together, to celebrate and renew our beloved underground.
