Roadburn Festival
Roadburn Festival is an annual music festival held each April in Tilburg, Netherlands. It was founded by Walter Hoeijmakers and Jurgen van den Brand in 1999, who ran a stoner rock blog of the same name.The festival has been held at Tilburg's 013 concert hall since 2005. In its earliest years before that, multiple events were organised in a year throughout various cities in the Netherlands such as Nijmegen and Eindhoven. It evolved into a multi-day event beginning in 2006 and shortly after, tickets began to sell out for the festival in under an hour as its audience grew internationally. The festival estimates that around 75% of its attendees come from outside the Netherlands.The festival has grown since its stoner rock origins and is now focused on various forms of experimental and extreme music: its motto in recent years has been "redefining heaviness."Van den Brand, who runs affiliated record labels Burning World Records and Roadburn Records, parted ways with the festival in 2016. The current key staff involved with organising the festival are Hoeijmakers (artistic director), Becky Laverty (press and communication, booker), Mijndert Rodolf (business director) and Joel Heijda (booker).
