DESERTFEST 2027

DESERTFEST BERLIN is coming back heavy as ever in May 2027! After an absolutely packed edition in 2026 with a monstrous lineup and two of three days entirely sold-out – the legendary festival comes back with a equally heavy and versatile first wave of bands: Lead by experimental stoner masters MELVINS the lineup highlights Oli Ackermann’s modern noise–renegades A PLACE TO BURY STRANGERS, the epic Swedish adventure rockers HÄLLAS, the colossal riff machinery of BONGRIPPER, VILLAGERS OF IOANNINA CITY, GNOME and many more including the new heavy garage punk supergroup PRIMITIVE RING and scene-favorite newcomers SPOOKY EYES from Tasmania, playing one of their very first EU shows ever at Desertfest Berlin in 2027! With 15 years of relentless affords under our belt to push the Berlin, German and European heavy music scene alongside other great festivals, promoters, labels, media outlets and bands to live vibrantly as it does today – with an ecstatic festival atmosphere, a sweet community, cheering crowds in front of stage and amazing young bands sharing stages with absolute legends, it looks like our scene shines brighter than the seemingly dark times around and this is the DESERTFEST BERLIN energy to go for 2027 – pushing this unique scene celebration even further at Columbia Venues from May 14th to 16th!
