Desertfest London have announced another 13 bands for next year’s festival!

Following September’s announcement that saw the likes of MASTERS OF REALITY, CORROSION OF CONFORMITY, ORANGE GOBLIN and more announced for the London-based doom, stoner and sludge extravaganza, now, 13 more bands have been announced for next year’s lineup!

Leading the charge in the latest announcement, Swedish doom icons WITCHCRAFT to London, for the first time in a decade, as 2020 headliners, whilst sludge punks PISSED JEANS, caveman battle doom metallers CONAN (who will perform Monnos in its entirety), and NAXATRAS join next year’s billing.

Also confirmed for next year’s festival are RAGING SPEEDHORN, SACRI MONTI, HUNTSMEN, MONARCH, SPIRIT ADRIFT, FIRE DOWN BELOW, GROTTO, DESERT STORM and MORAG TONG.

Speaking about performing at next year’s festival, CONAN‘s Jon Davis says, “since we wrote and recorded Monnos in 2012 we have been fortunate to travel the world, playing almost every continent, all due to some awesome people. Thanks to our relationship with the people at Desertfest, who have been particularly supportive of our quest, we have agreed to perform Monnos in its entirety at Desertfest London 2020, playing songs such as Headless Hunter and Invincible Throne for the first time in many years. CONAN thank you for this opportunity and we’ll see you in May!” John Vagenas of NAXATRAS adds, “after last year’s cancellation, which was totally beyond our control, we’re SUPER excited to take a break from the studio, and fly to London for a UK-exclusive show at Desertfest, in May 2020! We can’t wait to make it up to you!”
