The countdown is on for Desertfest Berlin 2016 — yes, in terms of the number of days until the German fest kicks off its arguably strongest lineup to-date, but also in terms of how many bands there are left to add to said lineup. With Philadelphia’s Stinking Lizaveta and Hamburg’s High Fighter and Mantar joining, that means only five bands remain to be announced. Who will it be? When will word come? Well, for the latter I’d guess sometime before April. The former is pretty much up in the air. Could be locals, could be someone imported who’s also taking part in the London fest. We’ll just have to wait and find out.

In the meantime, the bill, as noted, is ridiculous for the weekend fest at the Astra Kulturhaus in Berlin. Check it out below, along with the official confirmation of Stinking LizavetaMantar and High Fighter signing on:

Desertfest Berlin 2016 – MANTAR, STINKING LIZAVETA, HIGH FIGHTER added to the line-up!

Countdown to D-Day is ticking, 12 weeks left and our planned amount of 3-day passes is already gone! Because we value your trust and your dedication, we decided to stock up on some more festival-passes and reduce the number of day-tickets, so attention please: a bunch of additional 3-day-passes are on sale but they will not last long, so better be safe and be quick than sorry. Get yours on www.desertfest.de right now! The day tickets will be very limited and will go on sale afterwards.

Also regarding the question you all are longing to have answered: this years door policy will let you enter and exit from the festival until 10pm / 22h00! Concerning food, we also heard your requests: there will be more stalls and booths to feed your hungry bellies. Last but not least, we will stick to our NO OVERLAPPING SETS rule – that means that if you’re a true music warrior you’ll be able to see every single band scheduled. Time schedules will come when we will release our day tickets.

But first, let us introduce 3 new bands added to the line-up today: German punishing black metal-doom-punk duo Mantar; Philadelphia’s long-running psychedelic punk metal trio Stinking Lizaveta; and Hamburg’s volatile cocktail of heavy as hell riffs High Fighter! We are proud of this year’s edition, and we still have 5 bands to announce to make it even better, so stay tuned!
