The organizers of Holland's famous 'Roadburn' festival announced that Claudio Simonetti's GOBLIN will return to the 20th edition of the fest, set for April 9th - 12th at the 013 venue in Tilburg, The Netherlands, to perform their much acclaimed movie soundtracks for the well-known cult-classic horror movies "Dawn Of The Dead" and "Suspiria". Led by Brazilian-born composer Claudio Simonetti, the band will perform the live scores in real time while screening both movies from start to finish, offering our beloved attendees the chance to experience these classic soundtracks and films in an entire new dimension. This will be the first time that these soundtracks will be performed in The Netherlands and at 'Roadburn', following the band's critically acclaimed performance at last year's festival, when Claudio Simonetti's GOBLIN were invited by curator Mikael Åkerfeldt.
GOBLIN’s scores for George A. Romero’s "Dawn Of The Dead" (1978) and Dario Argento’s "Suspiria" (1977) rank among the best and most famous soundtracks composed and produced by these Italian Progressive Rock legends. The much-anticipated performances will take place on the main stage at the 013 venue on Saturday, April 11 ("Dawn Of The Dead") and Sunday, April 12 ("Suspiria").
Also, the legendary kosmische Giallo synth duo ZOMBI will be playing an exclusive set at 'Roadburn 2015', appearing for the first time in Europe since a handful of festival appearances back in 2011. Since first hitting the general consciousness with their Relapse 2004 debut album "Cosmos", following a pair of EPs, and wowing fans and critics alike with 2011's "Escape Velocity", it could be argued that ZOMBI were the spearhead for the whole resurgence of interest in obscure film soundtracks and the music of artists such as GOBLIN, John Carpenter and Fabio Frizzi.

We're equally excited to announce that legendary kosmische Giallo synth duo Zombi will be playing an exclusive set at Roadburn 2015, appearing for the first time in Europe since a handful of festival appearances back in 2011.

Zombi, AKA Messrs. Moore and Paterra will be opening up the stargate and heralding the zombie dawn on the main stage of the 013 venue on Saturday April 11 as a part of the 2015 20th edition of Roadburn and we couldn't be more psyched to have them.
That, however, is not all we have in store for you, as we also have exclusive solo performances from Zombi braintrust Steve Moore and A E Paterra – performing under his Majeure identity – both of whom will be playing on the day before, Friday April 10 at Het Patronaat.
