It's not even 9am and Roadburn hasn't even begun, but we've already been given a glimpse at the highlights in store at next year's edition. 

Jus Oborn of Dorset doomers Electric Wizard has been asked to be Roadburn 2013's curator and will personally select the bands that will play during a special event at Roadburn as well as performing a special headline show. 

Roadburn say: "Electric Wizard's horror film fixation and psychedelic tendencies are completely in tune with Roadburn and their music is loved by all who come to our festival, so it makes perfect sense that Jus Oborn will be the next in the select group of curators that includes David Tibet, Neurosis, Tom Gabriel Warrior, Sunn 0))), and Voivod. In addition to Jus curating, Electric Wizard will be bringing their live show to Roadburn on Friday, April 19th, 2013."

Jus also shared his thoughts regarding the event: “I am planning the ultimate ELECTRIC ACID ORGY… It's gonna be sick, only the heaviest, most evil drugmetal possible and we will bring our mind altering light show and visuals. Also we are gonna have a room showing all our favourite horror and sleaze movies… Roadburn 2013 is gonna be a real ‘bad’ trip.”

Roadburn Festival 2013 will run for four days from Thursday, April 18th to Sunday, April 21st, 2013 (the traditional Afterburner event) at the 013 venue in Tilburg, Holland.

Also some more news from Roadburn 2013
