Planet Desert Rock Weekend have revealed the full lineup for 2025’s festival!
After a successful 2024, which saw the likes of BRANT BJORK TRIO, SPACESLUG, FREEDOM HAWK and more descend to the sun-soaked strip of Las Vegas, Nevada, now, the full lineup for 2025’s festival has been revealed!
Held from Thursday, January 30th through to Sunday, February 2nd, Thursday’s action kicks off with sets from UNIDA, MR. BISON, SONS OF ARRAKIS and SAMAVAYO whilst Friday will be a Ripple Music label showcase with sets from FIREBALL MINISTRY, JIRM, VALLEY OF THE SUN, FIRE DOWN BELOW, GODZILLIONAIRE.
Saturday welcomes the likes of MOS GENERATOR, SERGEANT THUNDERHOOF, THE WATCHERS, SOLACE, OMEGAN SUN and GREEN DESERT WATER. Sunday features performances from DUEL, BONEHAWK, LUNA SOL, IOTA and JASON WALKER’S BADMOTORFINGER.
Speaking about 2025’s festival, promoter and curator John Gist says, “we are super proud of our lineup for the fifth edition of Planet Desert Rock Weekend! For the 2025 version, we really wanted to highlight amazing heavy rock acts from around the world. The idea of ‘rock being dead’ is laughable once you take a listen to these specially curated bands from as far away as Slovenia, Germany, Sweden, Italy, Spain, England, Belgium, and as close by as French Canada’s SONS OF ARRAKIS, who as a young band had over 1.8 million Spotify listeners in 2024. We are honored to have four international bands playing exclusive USA shows — including SERGEANT THUNDERHOOF, whose new album just landed #1 on the November Doom Charts!
As always, we want to meld legacy bands as part of the fabric of what we are trying to achieve vision-wise with bands like FIREBALL MINISTRY playing their first show since 2019, UNIDA, MOS GENERATOR, SOLACE and VALLEY OF THE SUN. We have continued our efforts solely because of the people… Folks that tell us to keep doing it as we have created a unique and special weekender. We are so thankful for all the support from around the world!”
Planet Desert Rock Weekend V will take place from January 30th – February 2nd, 2025 at Count’s Vamp’d and The Usual Place, Las Vegas, Nevada. Tickets are available now and can be purchased here.
