Roadburn Festival 2011 is scheduled for April 14th - 16th at the Midi Theatre in Tilburg, Holland.
Organizers have issued the following updates:
"We are extremely proud to announce that CIRCLE will be Artists-In-Residence at the 2011 Roadburn Festival, April 14th - 16th at the Midi Theatre, Tilburg, Holland.Circle and side project PHARAOH OVERLORD will be bringing their relentless riffs and genre-destroying musical virtuosity back to Roadburn for the first time since 2007. Circle will be drawing from their enormous (33+ full length records!) discography to play two completely different sets from their 2010 European tour.
With their style ranging from psychedelic rock to free jazz, with literally dozens of other genres between, they has been one of the most diverse musical groups of our time, and if there was ever a band designed to play multiple sets at a festival, it would be Circle. Not only do they have literally hundreds of songs to choose from, but they are also extremely creative and capable of musically changing styles and sounds at the drop of a studded leather hat. Add in their bizarre-but-consummate showmanship, and you have a compelling recipe for maximum entertainment.
Circle spin-off band Pharaoh Overlord will be playing for one set as well, and anyone who saw them in 2007 knows that it will be something quite unforgettable. They take stoner rock and deconstruct it to it’s most minimal form, The Riff, resulting in music that is akin to well-muscled instrumental kraut rock. Combining their deliberate heaviness with a unique on-stage delivery, they induce a psychotropic stoner-sufi trance that is as much a riff worship ritual as it is a musical performance. After a 4-year recording hiatus, they have recently released their new album, Siluurikaudella.
In other news, INCREDIBLE HOG, WOVENHAND, SOILENT GREEN, PLACE OF SKULLS, BLOOD CEREMONY, GHOST, IN SOLITUDE, COUNT RAVEN and ALCEST have just been confirmed for Roadburn Festival 2011."
Previously announced acts for Roadburn 2011 include: PENTAGRAM, SWANS.
Also, SUNN O))) will curate the festival on Friday, April 15th, and host a special event.
