Desertfest Berlin 2025: The Hellacopters, Slomosa, Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol and More Added
Business as usual here with Desertfest Berlin 2025 continuing to build a markedly badass lineup for this coming May. Obviously, a band like The Hellacopters need no excuse but have one anyway with an album due at the end of January (new video below), and Slomosa joining the fray isn’t such a shocker since they’re everywhere as they support their second album. Daufødt are new to me and they have at least one member of adventurous Norwegian proggers Kanaan in the lineup, so that’s bound to be interesting, Bismut rule, Green Milk From Planet Orange have a track record of weirding up past Desertfests, and this is the second European show I’ve seen locked in for Austin, Texas’ Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol (the first was Desertfest London; there may be more by now), whose 2024 album, Big Dumb Riffs (review here), remains a stomping, unrepentantly fun manifestation of the intent behind it.
The poster is nothing if not enticing, from Elder and Lowrider and Elephant Tree down to Kant, Khan and Skyjoggers. You don’t need me to tell you to make travel plans, I know, but if you’re looking for daydream fodder, imagine this particular Spring weekend:
DESERTFEST BERLIN announces THE HELLACOPTERS, SLOMOSA, BISMUT & more new names for 2025!
