Blabbermouth leaked the press release for next years curator:

Roadburn has announced that Tom Gabriel Warrior, founder of the illustrious HELLHAMMER and CELTIC FROST, has agreed to act as the curator for the annual festival on Friday, April 16, 2010, and host a special event at Roadburn, called "Only Death Is Real".

Tom's duties as curator include personally selecting the bands that will play on "Only Death Is Real", as well as to perform the first major headlining set with his latest incarnation, TRIPTYKON. Tom will be Roadburn's third curator, following up on David Tibet in 2008 and NEUROSIS earlier this year.

Commented Roadburn organizers in a statement: "We are overjoyed to have secured Tom's involvement in Roadburn this year, as he stands as a truly groundbreaking artist, with his previous bands having been extremely divisive, as is often the case with truly unique and original works of art. Ultimately his canon of work would prove not only legendary but hugely inspirational for an entire generation of musicians in the metal, doom and dark psychedelic scenes.

"Tom has always enjoyed pushing the envelope musically and challenging boundaries, and it was entirely that mindset that made him a perfect fit to act as our curator. It has been a constant goal of ours to keep Roadburn a festival that not only celebrates the established but charts new territory, and we could think of no better spirit guide than Tom Gabriel Warrior. We are looking forward to the new ideas that he will bring to our festival, as we feel that we are truly kindred spirits."

Added Tom Gabriel Warrior: "It is a surprise and an honor to be asked by Roadburn to act as a curator, and I am accepting this extraordinary opportunity with much gratitude and due humility. In my eyes, Roadburn is one of the most courageous and artistic festivals in existence, and its history is, in essence, a list of concerts by groups I deeply admire. It is quite a challenge to follow such footsteps, both as a curator and as a musician. I will try my very best to ensure that the groups I intend to propose to the organizers of Roadburn will be as ravishingly dark, unique, and exciting to the festival's visitors as they are to me."

Holland's very own Roadburn festival has become Europe's leading underground festival for psychedelic, avant-garde, doom or any other variation of leftfield sonic pleasures that push the boundaries of music.

In addition to the music, Roadburn has earned a reputation as having a unique camaraderie between the festival-goers, bands, organizers and staff, and ranks as one of the best and most laid-back festivals to be experienced.

Roadburn 2010, including Tom Gabriel Warrior's "Only Death Is Real", will run for three days — from Thursday, April 15 to Saturday, April 17 — at the 013 venue and Midi Theatre in Tilburg, Holland. There will be an additional afterburner event on Sunday, April 18, 2010.

No lasers but some super psychedelic backdrop projections like this:

Cool.I'd love to check it out.Prolly won't get it together though...Might look into it though.
I don't mind camping out for a good cause.

 

[I Bleed Black]

I'd say TGW was pretty surprised to be asked alright especially after he left them in the lurch last year. Hard to know what he will be like as a curator and the fact that they have asked Triptykon to headline is just weird, all anyone has heard is a few tracks on myspace. There's as much chance of them being a pile of shite as them being great. Anyone remember Apollyon Sun?

 

[I Bleed Black]

I just had a look at the Triptykon myspace there and it turns out that they will be playing songs off their first album (which was originally to be the follow up to Monotheist) and classic Celtic Frost tunes once they comence live duties. Now that sounds a whole lot better.

 

[xsteox]

He'll probably drop out again, and give a long-wined speech about it to.

 

[cesspooldublin]

I predict 1349 and assorted other arse Norwegian Black Metal bands will play.

[HMD]

It's shit that the curated day is in between the normal festival.
