John Garcia To Perform Very Special Set At Roadburn Festival 2010

Roadburn is beyond thrilled to announce JOHN GARCIA plays Kyuss at Roadburn Festival 2010.

As the legendary frontman of Kyuss, JOHN GARCIA really needs no further introduction, but here’s one anyway. The incredible emotional content of Kyuss is due in large part to the vocals of JOHN GARCIA. Deeply rooted in blues and baked solid by the searing desert sun, his powerful contributions to the classic Kyuss records Blues for the Red Sun, Kyuss (aka “Sky Valley”) and Circus  Leaves Town cast the mold for a legion of imitators. Backed by a band of highly accomplished musicians, JOHN GARCIA will perform an entire set of Kyuss songs at Roadburn Festival 2010.

John:I don’t want to do this just for myself, but especially for the fans. Both for the ones who have seen Kyuss live back in the days as well as for the ones who haven’t had that chance. This could be as close as they could get to the real thing. Please bear in mind that this could be a one-off unique opportunity !’’

  3. Ben says:

    OH-MY-FUCKING GOD, I love you Roadburn!!! :)

  4. fat birds don't fly says:

    No wayyyyyyyyy. …..Boem baby!

  5. guess who says:

    PLease stop that reunions bullshit!! John Garcia playing Kyuss, Sleep playing Jerusalem….Comus reunion.

    And what do “highly accomplished musicians” means?? neither hermano, nor slo burn musician I guess other wise you would have mentioned it..

    It’s more likely to be highly unknown musician….regarding the fact that Roadburn always put money on very well known names, this surprises me.

    It’s becoming ridiculous!! and it smells more big money than genuine rock!!

    Fuck it!!!

  9. Maarten says:

    via Twitoaster

  11. hardcorelibertarian says:

    Oh, and considering the fact that Brant Bjork will be present at Roadburn…I’ll let you figure out guys.

  12. sounds tilburg says:

    Walter, you always amaze me….great!

  13. Bauke says:

    This is the closest we get to a Kyuss reunion! Nice!

  14. Maarten Bannink says:

    Fuck Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!! Dream almost comming true. The complete Kyuss would rule. But this is great!!!

  15. Sjoerd says:

    Holy shit! Sounds great, it would be perfect if Brant played with them. Time will tell. Thanks Walter for getting another amazing addition to the already epic line-up!

  16. Lepu says:

    Kidnap Josh Homme! :)

  17. Brilliant ive always wanted to see Kyuss for a long time now.but yeah definetely kidnap Josh Homme!

  18. Baukereg says:

    @ guess

    What’s your problem dude?! The festival is already sold out, so this won’t attract any ‘qotsa-kids’. This is a great addition to the line-up, not a replacement. And by the way, how many really great voices exist in the land where the mighty riff is dominating?

    Don’t worry, be happy!

  19. Glenn says:

    Amazing!

    Both Brant Bjork and Alfredo Hernandez will be there that day, so the drumming part will be well taken care of I hope. Why should somebody else do that? Maybe Scott Reeder will do a solo show at Roadburn that day. Who knows? There is still a name missing for Saturday…

  20. brandonmetal says:

    why are almost all of the acts at roadburn from the USA?

  21. Marcel says:

    Not all acts at Roadburn are from the US. I can think of at least 20 that aren’t

  22. marion says:

    Geniaal!

  23. v says:

  24. Froek says:

    Shit nu is het helemaal balen dat ik geen kaartje heb…. Gaan ze deze show nog vaker spelen of is het alleen voor roadburn??

  25. cave rock says:

  34. Buddy says:

    See y’all there

  35. Roadburn says:

  36. Marshall says:
