KING YOSEF: industrial-metal phenom to play Roadburn Festival; US tour with HEALTH kicks off this week
King Yosef has been added to Roadburn Festival's 2024 lineup, scheduled for April 18-21 in Tilburg, Netherlands.
Also performing are The Jesus and Mary Chain, Chelsea Wolfe, Xiu Xiu, Khanate, Cult Leader, and more.
An official statement from Roadburn Festival reads: "We’re proud to announce that King Yosef will be heading to Roadburn this coming April, offering up a heady mix of industrial noise, hip hop, and the sound of metal on metal in musical form. Defying easy categorisation, King Yosef moves fluidly between genres, cherry-picking the bits that best suit his style and mood at any given time. The results are a dizzying yet coherent amalgam of sticky beats, chilling interludes and scathing vitriol. As a festival, we like to push boundaries and embrace heavy music in all its forms. We see a kindred spirit in King Yosef, an artist that seeks to create community through creativity."
Having already toured Australia this year (with Greg Puciato and Trace Amount), followed by Japan (with Trace Amount), Yosef kicks off a full US tour with HEALTH on March 2nd.
Along with the touring, he is in the midst of dropping a series of new singles, recorded by Kurt Ballou (Converge, Code Orange), mixed by Steve Evetts (Sepultura, Suicide Silence), and mastered by Arthur Rizk (Power Trip).

Revolver Magazine reports: “King Yosef is keeping utterly filthy industrial-metal alive and well in the 2020s... The perfect midpoint between Godflesh and Jesus Piece.”
From humble beginnings in rural Oregon, King Yosef has risen from the ashes of a troubled past to make art that cuts to the bone. Running on sheer willpower, this creative force has been manifesting a body of work that expresses his own unique pain, in his own unique style, and building a career on his own terms. Operating in a zone where metal, hardcore, industrial, and hip-hop intersect, Yosef’s music is utterly personal yet aligns beautifully with the zeitgeist of 2024.
Born Tayves Yosef Pelletier, King Yosef first earned attention as a producer, collaborating in 2016 with rappers XXXTentacion and Ski Mask the Slump God. Relocating from a small town to the city of Portland, Pelletier began releasing music as a solo artist under the King Yosef name in 2017, combining his early love for heavy music with his experiences in the hip-hop realm.
In the following years, Yosef sharpened his sound over the course of two EPs, several singles, and collabs with the likes of Youth Code, leading ultimately to the 2023 release of An Underlying Hum – a concept album born out of Yosef's experiences in therapy, digging deep into his childhood traumas.
