Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats to Headline Desertfest Belgium 2026
Desertfest Belgium, which as previously announced will take place in Oct. 2026 in Liège at the Om venue (lest you see Om on the poster and be confused), is on a fierce streak as regards lineups. Each year has expanded a bit while keeping a firm grip on where it’s coming from in terms of rock. They’ve celebrated local bands and brought in acts from other continents. Headliners and up and comers, all choice picks at just the right time.
That they’ve started off the 2026 announcements with Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats speaks of continued ambitions toward growth. The festival has said that they’ll announce eight acts next week, and that’s super and I probably could’ve waited and just done the nine all together instead of piecing the artwork and first-band reveals as I did below from socials, but honestly, Uncle Acid are enough to carry a news post on their own, I dig the art, and who the hell knows where my mind will be next week. Maybe I’ll miss the whole thing. Hopefully not, but I’ve done this long enough to know where my weaknesses lie, and they lie pretty much wherever the hell they feel like at that moment.
Weekend tickets are up and you’ll find that link below, amid the aforementioned posts. I’d expect Uncle Acid to be touring around this time, so keep an eye for dates and I’ll do the same. For now:
Hello Desertheads,
We’re super stoked to announce the official artwork for Desertfest Belgium 2026.
A big shout out to Kuba Sokólski Illustration for taking us to this mystical and mythical place where hot music and cool people meet in the middle of the Desert!
And what’s more Wednesday 22 April at 11:00 CET, we’ll announce our first headliner for Desertfest Belgium in Liège!
And since you have waited for it so long… We’re beyond stoked to announce our first headliner for Desertfest Belgium 2026.
Uncle Acid and the deadbeats will be gracing our stage come October.
The brainchild of Kevin Starrs, Uncle Acid and The Deadbeats have been making extraordinary music since 2009. Masterfully echoing the magical atmospheres of heavy music’s turbulent past, while sounding entirely unlike anything else available to human ears. Uncle Acid and The Deadbeats continues to be the deadliest show in town. And they are coming to Liège this fall!
If you don’t want to miss out on seeing your favourite uncle, weekend tickets are available right here on our website.
