Clutch have been confirmed as the third and final headliner for Desertfest London 2026 and will also return to Ireland next May for a run of rare headline dates, as the band prepare for another packed year of touring.
London’s Desertfest has revealed that the Maryland groove merchants will top the bill alongside Green Lung and Hermano, with Clutch taking their rightful place on the Roundhouse stage for the first time. The festival appearance will be the band’s only UK show of 2026, making it an essential date for anyone wanting to catch their legendary live energy.
Frontman Neil Fallon calls the show “a long time coming” and describes the appearance as a homecoming of sorts, built on the same grit and groove that have powered the band for more than three decades.
Before that, Clutch will spend late 2025 on the road across Europe and the UK on the Fortune Tellers Make A Killing Nowadays tour, bringing a set that digs deep into fan favourites from albums such as Blast Tyrant and Psychic Warfare while celebrating their whole Heavy back catalogue.
In May 2026 the band cross the Irish Sea for four headline shows
Tickets for all headline dates are on sale now via clutchmerch.com, with Desertfest tickets available from the festival’s official site.
Across thirteen studio albums, innumerable live bootlegs and relentless touring, Clutch have built one of the most dedicated fan communities in Heavy rock. Drawing on the spirit of The Grateful Dead, Rush and the Allman Brothers as much as classic riff driven Metal, the band remain a fiercely independent force who treat every show like a chance to push their jams even further. Desertfest London 2026 looks set to be a celebration for both band and fans alike.
