We’re very sorry to report that Soilent Green has pulled out of the 2010 Roadburn Afterburner event, set to take place, Sunday, April 18th at the 013 venue, Tilburg, Holland.
Soilent Green’s Tommy Buckley, who is also in Crowbar, will be on tour, supporting Sepultura with Crowbar in April. There’s a conflict in both touring schedules, so Soilent Green’s European tour has been postponed. Luckily, we have OUTLAW ORDER replacing Soilent Green as the main headliner of the afterburner event.
However, this means that Outlaw Order won’t be playing the main festival on Thursday, April 15th. It took quite an effort to find the best possible solution, and we’re very grateful that Oulaw Order were willing to headline the Roadburn Afterburner instead of playing the regular festival date.
Replacing Outlaw Order in the Green Room on the Thursday Roadburn date, are Newcastle-Upon-Tyne’s BONG. They bring their heavy, repetitive and psychedelic droning-doom up from the Bat Cat to the Green Room. A fitting choice! Which leaves us with the opportunity to ask Germany’s SAMSARA BLUES EXPERIMENT to be part of the Roadburn Festival on Thursday, April 15th to complete the line-up.
Utilizing both heavy riffage and psychedelic blues-jamming, Samsara Blues Experiment offer 21th Century Krautrock that will appeal to doom and stoner fans alike. The band is causing quite a stir with their forthcoming debut full-length Long Distance Trip, and we’re very happy that these spaced out cosmonauts will be part of Roadburn Festival 2010, as we like to showcase such promising up-and-comers.

Too bad, Soilent Green was one of the main reasons to go to the Afterburner… Hopefully they will be here soon.
Im confused, isnt the bassist of Outlaw Order in Crowbar too? Whats his name, Pat Bruders?
No, it’s Scott Crochet who plays bass. But to make it even more confusing, as I found out a couple of seconds ago, Soilent Green’s vocalist Ben Falgoust is in Goatwhore as well, and they will be playing Australia around Roadburn.

I’m bitterly dissapointed that Outlaw Order wont be playing on Thursday. Myself and two friends are travelling from Australia to Holland especially to see them and we were unable to get Afterburner tickets. It now looks as though we will miss them. Im gutted!
@ Brendon: Go to http://www.marktplaats.nl and search for afterburn tickets! They are still available.
Tell them you’re from Australia and I bet you get something done!
Good luck man!
