There were also several logistical novelties this year the newly re-vamped 013 looked fantastic, both main venue and Green Room were refurbished and their capacity enlarged, allowing for a significantly higher number of visitors. Not to mention a gazillion other bands and side shows, panels and karaoke, making sure no one ever got bored. Roadburn AD 2016 had so much on offer, from Lee Dorrian handling the task of an official curator – who invited a number of incredible acts for his Rituals for the Blind Dead curated sets – to Icelandic black metal fury Misþyrming as artist in residence, who were to play three different shows during the festival. Show me a person who hasn’t raised their fist to the skies in desperation over their two fav bands playing at the same time, venues apart, and I will tell you they probably missed half the fun (or ‘fun’) and the true RB experience. But let me tell you that Roadburn clashes have become a stuff of legends, and commiserating over them turned into a new sports discipline in its own right. However, when the revelation of the running order came about, putting the ‘must see’ bands in practise proved to be a much more complicated ordeal than previously anticipated. Everything about this year’s edition of Roadburn festival was about special shows, sets and collaborations that saw us salivating over the line-up many a month in advance.
