Furthermore, JOHN CXNNOR will be performing “All My Future’s Past” as part of a commissioned project.

Festival organizers have also partnered with Schouwburg Tilburg for an off-programme event called “Dance of the Seven Veils.” That show will feature music from Colin H. Van Eeckhout (CHVE, Amenra), Pieter-Jan Van Assche (Innerwoud), and soprano Astrid Stockman.

Artistic director Walter Hoeijmakers commented:

“We are very thrilled to see Roadburn 2023 coming together, especially in a world turned upside down and all the challenges facing the live music industry. Roadburn 2023 is shaping up to be a very exciting edition of the festival even while navigating the underground post-pandemic.

This year’s Roadburn won’t see a curator as there are so many obstacles and pitfalls to overcome; it would be hard for a curator to fully realise their artistic and musical dreams. We at Roadburn will make sure the 2023 edition will be as adventurous and explorational as always, and it will be an anchor point as usual. It will be a very current edition, reflecting the world as it is now.”
