Roadburners

It has a certain kind of beauty when a specific kind of audience takes over public space, and with their presence disturbs the daily routine. Like this Roadburn audience in the small city of Tilburg. A worldwide renowned small festival, big in its subgenre of metal, stoner, sludge, psychedelic rock and other kinds of rock music.

They come from nearby and faraway places, such as Germany, Norway, New York, USA, but even from Australia and Brasil, just for this one weekend in Tilburg!!
