I'm not going, but if you have a chance to see Ex Eye, you should take it. They are amazing.

Ok, first thing's first:
Roadburners staying outside of Tilburg.

It has just been confirmed that during Roadburn, on Saturday and Sunday there will be heavy railroad construction. If you're traveling by train from Breda, Eindhoven or 's-Hertogenbosch central station to Tilburg and vice versa, there will be busses running instead of the trains. It will take an extra 30 minutes to get to Tilburg or back.

For the most up to date info, please check ns.nl or the public transportation website https://9292.nl/en

Second thing's second:
You're probably going to miss some "can't miss" bands. It happens. Roadburn is far and away the most relaxed music festival I've been to, because it's located in the middle of a small city that is very nice and very fun to check out. And the pubs are awesome. So you're going to spend a lot of time socializing, maybe, and this will eat into your attempts to see GISM or whatever. Being at peace with that is a good thing. That said, all the Main Stage bands should be easy to see, because the 013 is a big space.

Also, if there's a band playing in Het Patronaat (aka the Church) definitely try to get there early. That place gets mega busy. Likewise with the Cul de Sac.


This article does a pretty good job of breaking down the general tips so I won't rehash these:

Thanks for all info/knowledge!
Really looking forward to this!
Where are you staying D.o.S?
We're staying at the Urban Campsite.

Got an Airbnb in Tilburg that we booked once the festival finished last year :lol: trying to stay in the city proper is a bit mental if you're not camping. The campsite is pretty rad though, all things considered.

The camp was the only thing available when we decided to go(late December).
But we got one of those small cabins, not sleeping in a tent. ;)
