Fitting that Desertfest London should respond to two years without a festival by making a festival big enough for two years. A new stage has been added for Sunday and Bongzilla (who we knew were spending some significant time abroad this Spring) and Slabdragger and Poseidon and Parish have been added, as well as an Eric Wagner tribute that, while details are scant as yet, will no doubt be something special. Perhaps some Orange Goblin involvement there? They’ve covered Trouble before, if you’ll recall.

In any case, it’s an astounding bill Desertfest London 2022 is hosting. The kind of thing one daydreamed about even harder during lockdown, and it seems they’re not done, either. I’m not 100 percent on the location of ‘stoner alley,’ but if it’s that spot right outside the Black Heart, there’s plenty of room to get up to some shenanigans there, and apparently announcements to come in that regard.

The word here is ‘admirable,’ and I can hardly think of a more appropriate way for Desertfest London to mark the beginning of its second decade as well as its return after two years’ absence.

From the social media:

***DESERTFEST ADDS BONGZILLA, SLABDRAGGER & MORE WITH ADDITION OF POWERHAUS ON SUNDAY MAY 1ST PLUS 2-DAY ‘NON-ROUNDHOUSE’ PASSES AVAILABLE NOW**

We are thrilled to be adding another stage to the mammoth Desertfest London 2022 line-up, as PowerHaus will host stoner favourites Bongzilla on Sunday 1st May (we know you’ve been waiting for that one!). Alongside hometown heroes Slabdragger, the cathartic sounds of Poseidon, plus pastoral power-trio Parish. We will also be welcoming a very special collaborative tribute to doom legend Eric Wagner, with more details TBA.

We know some folk have missed out on general tickets, so we are releasing a 2-Day Saturday + Sunday Combo pass that provides access to all venues EXCEPT the Roundhouse. Due to specific venue protocols & capacity restrictions, we are unable to release more general weekend or full day tickets. We hope you understand that we are trying to accommodate as many of you as possible in the spaces we have.

tickets are available here ↠ https://link.dice.fm/o420178fe2d8

The best way to be in with a chance of picking up a general weekend or Friday day ticket is to join the waiting list at DICE – which is the only re-seller of DF tickets. Thank you so much for the continued support, we still have a lottt more to announce in regards to ‘Stoner Alley’ on Greenland Place + some v. special after-parties!
