FROM ROADBURN 2015 PROMOTERS:
It is our honour to announce that ANATHEMA - official band page will headline the Sunday date of the 20th edition of Roadburn Festival, at the 013 venue on April 12, 2015 in Tilburg, The Netherlands, with a special performance that will span the innovative British band’s 25-year career, and include special guest appearances by former bassist and songwriter Duncan Patterson and original singer Darren White. The Roadburn show will be one of just a few dates that will make up Anathema’s short 2015 ‘Resonance’ tour.
Starting with the anthemic progressive rock of their recent work (2012’s classic Weather Systems and 2010’s We’re Here Because We’re Here), the performance will gradually move back in time through the more gothic-oriented material of 1998’s Alternative 4 and 1996’s Eternity, all the way back to the pioneering work of 1995’s The Silent Enigma and the 1993 debut Serenades, with Patterson and White joining the band onstage for an historic reunion.

“Roadburn festival [is] a hugely respected institution and has to be the most fitting launch for the Anathema 'Resonance' tour, [It will be] a celebration of the band's entire history, and to be joined by our old friends and comrades Duncan Patterson and Darren White for these exclusive shows will be a very special, potent and positive event for all of us. We hope you can join in this once in a lifetime celebration” - Danny Cavanagh.

Today we’re thrilled to announce The Golden Grass will bring their sunshiny harmonies and positive vibe the 20th edition of Roadburn Festival on Sunday, April 12 at the 013 venue in Tilburg, The Netherlands.

The Brooklyn trio released some of the best upbeat psychedelic rock with their self-titled album on Svart Records, and after their first European tour this Fall, we’re happy to welcome them to Roadburn in 2015 as they bring out new material and a classic sound.


Turning their back on modernity, Uppsala Sweden’s four-piece The Towerfound inspiration in proto-metal, turning the band’s eponymous debut album, Hic Abundant Leones (Bad Omen Records) into a captivating demonstration of their cool retro vibes and penchant for esoteric lyrical references.

Taking the best parts of hardrock, psychedelic rock, caveman boogie, and amplifier worship, The Tower will put forth their heavy 70s loyalism at the 20th edition of Roadburn Festival on Thursday, April 9 at the 013 venue in Tilburg, The Netherlands, pushing the outer limits of an already spacious genre.


Constantly pushing the limits of sound with an arsenal of self-modified instruments, Germany’s The Picturebooks tap into buzzy blues and glorious garage rock territory on Imaginary Horse, their super infectious debut LP for RidingEasy Records/ Easyrider Records.

Mirroring their daredevil skateboarding ethos and easy rider antics, The Picturebooks will rev up their howling engines and conjur true fire at the 20th edition of Roadburn Festival on Saturday, April 11 at the 013 venue in Tilburg, The Netherlands.


Having been nourished on a sick, spooky-ooky diet of old school (death) metal, VHS fright flicks and psilocybin, Detroit’s psychedelic doomsters Acid Witch will bring their 80s inspired metal movie marijuana massacre meltdown to the 20th edition of Roadburn Festival on Saturday, April 11 at Het Patronaat in Tilburg, The Netherlands.

With album titles like Witchtanic Hellucinations and Stoned, the band’s lyrics sound like sheer poetry to us: “Seen these movies so many times / Turn off the volume cause I know all the lines / So fucking high, just let the stereo play / But only if it’s Lizzy Borden or Fastway.”


On the banks of the Mississippi there dwells a ferocious beast with an open third eye that, when you look in it, shows you the parts of yourself you wish you could forget. Thou have been haunting Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and just about everywhere else on tour for the better part of a decade, bringing a consuming, atmospheric brand of sludge that challenges you to experience this moment for everything it can be, to cast off repression in all of its forms and become the complete self of whom you’ve always been most terrified.

Open your eyes and exalt as Thou take the stage at the 20th Edition of Roadburn Festival on Thursday, April 9 at Het Patronaat in Tilburg, The Netherlands.


Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
