Dhidalah

Japanese experimental space-rock trio Dhidalah performed at Roadburn Festival on 20 April 2018. The full-set video, uploaded by curvytones, captures their wall-of-fuzz guitars, doom-laden vocals and motorik hypnotic grooves that place them in a lineage from Les Rallizes Dénudés to modern heavy psych. The band — Ikuma Kawabe (guitar, vocals), Shinoda (bass), and Toshiya Watanabe (drums) — builds vast soundscapes where free-form freak-outs meet disciplined repetition. This 2018 Roadburn appearance came between their early EP Lucy in Space with Dhidalah (2015) and the full-length Sensoria (2020). The performance remains a key document of Japan's underground psychedelic scene on a premier European stage. Video published 20 April 2018; original performance date used as event date.
