Official press release:
Enjoy an early Christmas treat from Desertfest London, with their last announcement for this year and a dozen more bands to join the festival’s lineup on April 28-30th, 2017.
Conjurers of atmospheric black metal Wolves In The Throne Room are back on the warpath and headed straight for Camden! Doom pioneers Saint Vitus make their Desertfest London debut, with founding vocalist Scott Reagers in tow.
Not content to merely headline this year’s festival with Slo Burn, stoner rock’s favourite frontman brings the John Garcia Band to Desertfest 2017. Returning sludge crust heroes Scissorfight are taking a stand on this year’s Human Disease Promo/When Planets Collide Stage.
Jamming psychsters Stoned Jesus will be playing a special set of their album Seven Thunders Roar back to back, and as if it wasn’t enough, we’ve got brutality – from Wear Your Wounds, Earth Ship and Iron Witch – and insanity – from Backwoods Payback and one of the UK’s most exciting doom acts, Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard.
We’ve also got your stoner rock covered with Steak, your 70s worship is sorted with Dead Lord and your psych is all over the place with Pontiak. And the party doesn’t stop with Sleep this year, as the festival invited Canadian party rock foursome Chron Goblin to play us out in style at the official after party…
Bands previously confirmed for Desertfest London 2017 are Sleep, Turbonegro, Slo Burn (exclusive U.K. performance), Candlemass, Lowrider, Black Spiders, Samsara Blues Experiment, The Picturebooks, Satan’s Satyrs, 1000Mods, Yuri Gagarin, Vodun, Pigsx7, The Well, Mammoth Storm, Stubb, Wucan, Venimous Maximus, Elephant Tree, Grave Lines…
With still more bands to announce, Desertfest London 2017 is looking ready to be the best edition yet. Don’t miss your chance to hit up the underground’s biggest party!
