Roadburn 2012: The Afterburner Sold Out!

Posted on Wednesday, February 22nd, 2012

Thank you all so much! We’re elated to announce that our traditional  Afterburner event, set for Sunday, April 15th at the 013 venue in Tilburg, Holland, is sold out. We’ve never sold so many tickets (2000)  in advance for the Afterburner, and we’d like to thank all of you for making this happen.

The Afterburner has become a full festival day of  it’s own with bands playing both the Main Stage and Green Room. Having this sell out is a great reward for all our efforts to turn Roadburn  2012 into something to remember. We’re looking forward to see all of you in less than 2 months!

Walter on behalf of Jurgen, Roadburn and the 013 venue.
