UK's
#1 stoner, doom, sludge and psych event DESERTFEST LONDON is thrilled
to announce the second wave of artists who will be taking the stage at the 2016
edition, taking place in April 29th to May 1st across
multiple venues in the legendary musical hub of Camden Town...
NOLA's
sludge metal heroes CROWBAR will
be heading back over seas to make ears bleed, bringing their influential
slow-and-low sound to an eager, ready, and willing Desertfest. Kirk Windstein
and his crew of titans haven’t graced UK revellers with their rowdy presence
since 2014; and Crowbar has never played Desertfest London. Making for a
truly exciting, and long over-due, addition to the already stellar proceedings
next year has in store.
Desertfest
are also pleased to reveal that our friends at Old Empire will once again be
curating a stage, bringing an eclectic and exciting array of acts to broaden
the pallet. First to be announced are industrial legends GODFLESH, who will be
headlining the Old Empire offerings. Their experimental and aggressive sound
has established the Birmingham-based duo as one of the most innovative bands in
industrial music, cited as influencing everyone from Metallica to Faith No
More.
As
if all that wasn’t enough to process, there’s of course a healthy helping of
doom and stoner rock goodness joining the mix for Desertfest 2016.
Heavy-hitting warriors TRUCKFIGHTERS will
be chucking riffs left, right and centre, alongside fellow Swedish fuzz
lords MONOLORD,
who will be riding easy and destroying all in one slow, hard and loud blow.
Psychedelic monsters WO
FAT are a welcome return, having well and truly mastered the
art of trippy doom – many can do it, but few do it as well as the Dallas desert
trio. EGYPT will
also be heading over and hitting the bill hard to bring some Dakota doom
goodness to the haze, alongside eccentric instrumental gurus ROTOR. Southern rock
lovin’ PLANET OF
ZEUS are bringing their raw grooves out of the Greek
underground and into thirsty a London, and finally heavy rockers MOTHERSHIP will be
taking fans well out the galaxy – musically speaking, of course.
