Incubate is the annual celebration of independent culture. Expect a diverse view on indie culture as a whole, including music, contemporary dance, film and visual arts. We bring more than 200 cutting edge artists in an intimate context to an international audience. Black metal next to free jazz. Street art next to academic dance.

Wardruna, a special folk project of Einar 'Kvitrafn' Selvik (Jotunspor, ex-Gorgoroth) and Gaahl (God Seed, ex-Gorgoroth) creates ritualistic folk music with traditional instruments. During the Incubate festival, the band will giva a special one-off performance in an amphitheatre in the middle of the forest.

The schedule:
- The public will be taken to the special Wardruna performance by coaches from Tilburg (only 3 euros for a return ticket, for more info check below).
- Before Wardruna plays there will be a short lecture by Kennet Granholm, PhD in Comparative Religion at Åbo Akademi University (Finland). He will talk about the birth of modern paganism during romanticism, the founding of modern pagan groups/organizations in the post-second world war period and the shift to paganism in black metal.
- While darkness falls, torches light the site. Wardruna performs, the sun will set and the atmosphere will be filled with the visuals and sounds that Wardruna stands for.
- After the concert the visitors will be brought back to the city on the same way that they left it, by bus.
