A post-rock double bill featuring And So I Watch You From Afar and Caspian, with otay:onii as special guest opening the evening.

And So I Watch You From Afar brings their live show to Breda: angular guitars, punk energy and experimental noise, raw and DIY to the core.

Caspian presents material from their latest album On Circles, where they trade endless crescendos for a more honest and raw sound - a collision of post-rock, metal, shoegaze and ambient. From punk-shredding bass lines to melancholic cello and saxophone.

otay:onii - also known as Lane Shi - is a genre-defying underground artist and the first artist ever selected for the three-year residency at Roadburn. Her performance combines avant-garde, electronics and incantatory vocals.

About: And So I Watch You From Afar

Two decades of relentless touring have turned this Northern Irish instrumental quartet into one of post-rock's most formidable live acts. With seven studio albums behind them, including 2024's Megafauna, they bring the same raw intensity to the stage as to record.
