Desertfest / Expanded 2022 edition announced

Desertfest will celebrate its tenth year with an expanded lineup in 2022. The event will be held in six venues across Camden from Friday 29 April – Sunday 1 May.

Next years festival will be the largest and most diverse yet and now will include two days at The Roundhouse.

Desertfest founder Reece Tee told us: “Desertfest is ten years old! I’m so proud that our independent festival has stood the test of time. What we have created is special, a decade of great bands, great friends and amazing memories. This year’s line up is a true reflection of how diverse Desertfest has become, and with such a loyal audience, Desertfest can champion the underground for decades more to come.”

Friday evening includes a headling performance from Witchcraft, their first UK show in over a decade, while Saturday headliners are Chicago’s Shellac. Closing the festival on Sunday is UK doom legends Electric Wizard.

Other highlights include Corrosion Of Conformity, Orange Goblin and Truckfighters, who all performed on the first Desertfest.
