Here's a fine start to your Wednesday: Robert Hampson's reformed Loop have been announced as headliners for next year's Roadburn Festival, taking place in Tilburg, The Netherlands from April 10-13 2014.

It follows Hampson's appearance at this year's edition of the festival, where he appeared on stage with Godflesh (having been a member in the early nineties) to perform Loop's 'Straight To Your Heart'.

Say the festival: "The band's trancelike, sometimes claustrophobic soundscapes [...] characterised by the spectral vocals of Hampson buried beneath layers of fuzz and wah-wah, have made a lasting imprint on the likes of Neurosis, Electric Wizard, Sunn O))) and countless others, as well as the Roadburn Festival itself.

"From the first iteration, Roadburn has been covering contemporary, acid-drenched psychedelia with Loop's revelatory, sonic pummel [...] as an artistic blueprint for the festival."

Tickets for next year's edition go on sale on October 11 - head to the festival's site to get hold of them.
