Haatdrager will open the Hall of Fame stage on Saturday, 19 April at Roadburn.

This year The Spark will feature Rattenburcht emerging from the sewers of Amsterdam to join us, Temple Fang making a welcome return, and our pals in Thou - who better to help us kick things off than them?

The Spark is free to attend, no ticket needed. Bands start at 19:00. See you there?

To say that it sounds like what you might expect if you put one of the most intense current heavy bands in a studio with one of the most captivating modern orators, simply doesn’t do it justice.

It’s our pleasure to invite Insect Ark back to Roadburn to present their latest material and demonstrate their considerable evolution since they were last at Roadburn, back in 2018.
