Desertfest London have revealed the full lineup for 2022’s festival!

After unfortunately having to postpone 2021’s festival due to the ongoing restrictions in place to fight COVID-19, now, the organisers behind the UK’s biggest celebration of doom, stoner, sludge and everything inbetween have revealed the full lineup for 2022’s festival!

Celebrating their tenth year, next year’s festival promises to be their biggest and most diverse yet. Covering six venues across the heart of Camden in London and now including a full line up at The Roundhouse on both Saturday April 30th and Sunday May 1st. The festival will take place from Friday April 29th through to Sunday May 1st, tickets are available now and can be purchased here.

Founding owner of Desertfest Reece Tee comments, “Desertfest is 10 years old! I’m so proud that our independent festival has stood the test of time. What we have created is special, a decade of great bands, great friends and amazing memories. This year’s line up is a true reflection of how diverse Desertfest has become and with such a loyal audience, Desertfest can champion the underground for decades more to come.”

Headlining the Friday will be Swedish heavy rock masters WITCHCRAFT, with a UK exclusive performance and their first UK show in over a decade. Saturday’s headliners are none other than Chicago’s SHELLAC, who in another UK exclusive will be bringing their experimental post-hardcore sound to The Roundhouse. Whilst closing the festival on Sunday will be UK doom legends ELECTRIC WIZARD.

Other acts confirmed include the likes of CORROSION OF CONFORMITY, ORANGE GOBLIN and TRUCKFIGHTERS who all played the festival in its debut year in 2012 and there are further UK exclusive performances from hardcore-punks INTEGRITY and the Ukrainian psych space rock trio SOMALI YACHT CLUB. The festival will also see desert legends BRANT BJORK and Nick Oliveri’s new band STONER, who will be playing the Electric Ballroom and doomed heavy metallers KHEMMIS making their UK debut at The Underworld.
