Desertfest London has officially completed its 2026 lineup, revealing the day and stage splits for its fourteenth year of rock fury. Taking place from May 15th to 17th across Camden, the festival is set to feature a massive collection of stoner rock, doom, and underground heavy music. Friday night kicks off with a heavy stoner set headlined by the legendary John Garcia and Hermano at the Electric Ballroom, while Florida sludge pioneers Cavity mark their reunion by headlining the Black Heart stage. Saturday shifts the focus to “Best of British” talent, with local favorites Green Lung headlining the Roundhouse alongside new additions like Wytch Hazel and Church of the Cosmic Skull. The weekend concludes on Sunday with the highly anticipated festival debut of Clutch, who will finally take the Roundhouse stage for an exclusive UK performance.
The 2026 edition is particularly notable for its series of historic reunions and UK debuts. Beyond the return of Cavity, fans will witness the exclusive reunion of stoner legends The Sword and underground doom icons Capricorns, who return to the stage for the first time in nearly two decades. The final wave of additions also includes Inhuman Nature, Moloch, and Daufødt, rounding out a bill that balances legendary status with rising underground voices. With day tickets now available and the stage splits confirmed, the countdown is on for one of the most comprehensive celebrations of riff-culture the UK has seen.
