DESERTFEST 2023 (Saturday Tickets)

The UK’s leading stoner rock, doom, psych & heavy music event, Desertfest, returns for its 11th edition next May 5th - 7th 2023, promising to be heavier than the King’s Coronation crown. As the UK’s leading stoner rock, doom, psych & heavy rock festival, Desertfest prides itself on diversifying line-ups and providing a platform for renowned acts & lesser-known artists to play an array of venues to differing crowds within the underground music scene.

Friday night sees Swedish heavy-blues maestros Graveyard return to the fold, eliciting raw emotion with their lyrical prowess & introspective compositions. Alongside one of the greatest live acts of all time, German groovers Kadavar as co-headliners.Pioneers of a groove-laden sound that is undeniably their own, Corrosion of Conformity have not been back on UK soil since 2018 so expect big, loud & memorable things from their Saturday headline appearance.

Japan’s own avant-garde maestros of down-tuned psychedelia Boris leap over to London, alongside the crushingly loud tones of NOLA’s own Crowbar. One of the most exciting bands in recent memory King Buffalo, make their long-awaited debut. Plus, Desertfest favourites Weedeater are back after 5 long years of chugging whiskey lord-knows-where, alongside worshippers of vintage occult folklore Blood Ceremony.

For those with a heavier appetite, macabre Japanese doom legends Church of Misery, New York City’s noise-rock guru’s Unsane, all bring a detour from the slow’n’low sounds the festival is best recognised for.

Desertfest also welcomes heavy groove rocking trio Nebula, Sweden’s stalwarts of stoner Dozer and the godfathers of the Desert Fatso Jetson. French post-metallers Year Of No Light will also be playing their first London show since 2014. Ukraine’s Somali Yacht Club will undoubtedly meet a rapturous reception when their flawless musicianship makes its long awaited Desertfest debut, alongside Montreal’s Big|Brave, whilst the doors to the Church of The Cosmic Skull are open, as they ask Desertfest revellers to join them in a union unlike any other.
