Official: Roadburn Festival15 to 18/04/2027
The Tilburg festival says the band kept surfacing in readers’ suggestions during its search of the UK underground.
The story
Roadburn has added Believe In Nothing to its 2027 line-up. The festival says the UK band kept coming up in fan recommendations while its bookers explored the UK underground, and that their live shows have already earned them a reputation. Roadburn describes their sound as dark, blackened sludge.
The announcement came a day ahead of another planned reveal. Roadburn 2027 takes place from 15 to 18/04/2027 in Tilburg, the Netherlands, and two-day and day tickets went on sale in October.

Our take
Booking a band because the audience kept naming them is very Roadburn: the festival has built its reputation on curiosity rather than streaming numbers. A slot there tends to change an underground band’s year, with European promoters and press in the room.
For South African bands the lesson is the mechanism. Roadburn listens to its community and scouts scenes it does not usually cover. Getting into those conversations through Bandcamp, labels and international press is more realistic than waiting for an invitation.
Bottom line
For fans of blackened sludge and the heavier end of Roadburn’s programme. Nothing to buy yet beyond festival tickets; note the name and look for their recordings.
