London’s Desertfest has announced American rock supernovas CLUTCH as third and final headliner at their 2026 edition, joining Green Lung and Hermano. This appearance will be the band’s only UK show in 2026 and marks their first ever time playing the festival. CLUTCH’s legendary high-energy live show will at long last be taking place on the Desertfest London Roundhouse stage where it has been long overdue.
Vocalist Neil Fallon comments, “This one’s been a long time coming! Clutch are finally headlining Desertfest London. Built on the same grit and groove that’s been running through our veins since day one, it’s a long overdue homecoming to a festival that’s always felt like a kindred spirit. This will be our only UK show of 2026 and we can’t wait to see how wild the Desertfest crowd can get! See you at the Roundhouse next May!” CLUTCH will storm stages across Europe and the UK later this year on the Fortune Tellers Make a Killing Nowadays Tour, bringing the raw firepower of ‘Blast Tyrant’, ‘Psychic Warfare’ and beyond. Special guests are 1000Mods and Bokassa.
The jaunt kicks off in Copenhagen on November 24th and concludes at London’s Roundhouse on December 20th, before continuing in Ireland in May 2026 with two nights in Dublin, one in Belfast and Limerick. Some venues are already low on tickets, and the Berlin venue on December 3rd has now been upgraded to Huxleys Neue Welt, with original tickets remaining valid. Expect heavy grooves, deep cuts and a band tighter than ever.
