Roadburn has announced the first three names for the 2025 edition of the festival, which will take place between April 17-20 next year. Noise rock champs Chat Pile will return to Tilburg, and be joined by reunited sludge heroes Kylesa. Altın Gün will bring their psychedelic folk to Roadburn for the first time. Weekend tickets for the festival are on sale now.
Roadburn’s artistic director, Walter Hoeijmakers, comments:
“With this announcement comes a first glimpse of what the Roadburn universe will be like in 2025. For this edition, we will look to the horizon of the underground and beyond, exploring the present and discovering the future along the way, while always honouring the past as well.
“We are very excited to have Chat Pile back, to host the long-awaited Kylesa reunion, and to present a set tailor-made for us by psychedelic innovators Altın Gün, who will broaden the scope of the festival.
“The idea of redefining heaviness remains at the heart of Roadburn, and we will keep striving to galvanise our entire community, from artists to attendees, staff and everyone in between.”
Chat Pile have today
announced a new single taken from their upcoming sophomore album,
Cool World. Amidst continuously growing enthusiasm for the Oklahoma four piece, their return to Roadburn will mark their first show in Europe following the release of
Cool World.
Nine years after announcing an indefinite hiatus, Georgia’s
Kylesa will return to the live arena, and Roadburn will host their return to European soil. Led by Laura Pleasants and Phillip Cope, the influential sludge band will no doubt be welcomed with open arms by the Roadburn community.
Altın Gün are set to make their Roadburn debut with a tailor-made set that focuses on the darkest, most psychedelic seam of their work. The Grammy-nominated group have dazzled audiences around the world and now they’ll bring their contemporary Turkish folk to Roadburn.
More bands for the 2025 edition of Roadburn are due to be announced in the coming weeks.
