Desertfest is an international beacon of heavy music for over a decade now, since the foundation of an collaborate idea in 2012 by STEAK guitarist Reece Tee, starting DESERTFEST LONDON and by Matte Vandeven – bassist of My Sleeping Karma and founder of Sound of Liberation – promoting the first DESERTFEST BERLIN. Since then the festivals grew in scale and so did the Desertfest family, with independent festivals rising from the stoner underground all over the world in Norway, Belgium and the USA. Not as affiliated sub-festivals, just established by like-minded people, who’d give blood to push the heavy underground music scene just like Matte and Reece have all those years.
DESERTFEST BERLIN had it’s own journey, starting in 2012 with the first edition’s opening night at the legendary old Festsaal Kreuzberg, which tragically burned down about a year later as well as Astra Kulturhaus, which has opened the festival doors until 2017. Before a mandatory break during the epidemic the festival sized up to the larger Arena in Treptow in 2018 and 2019 with two absolute massive festival editions, before finding it’s new home in 2022 at Columbia Venues, where the festival grew to the legendary scene gathering we know today.
For many years the festival is promoted in collaboration with the local agency Greyzone Concerts. But already since it’s inception DESERTFEST BERLIN is a dark sanctuary to heavy music fanatics coming to Berlin from all over Europe with the most sought after bands of the entire heavy music spectrum blessing the DESERTFEST BERLIN stage each year, like SLEEP, ELECTRIC WIZARD, SAINT VITUS, PENTAGRAM, FU MANCHU, YOB, UNCLE ACID & THE DEADBEATS, ORANGE GOBLIN, RUSSIAN CIRCLES and BRANT BJÖRK, just to name a few.
Besides the legends, DESERTFEST BERLIN always highlights a wide range of bands from the genres stoner, doom, sludge, desert rock, heavy blues, psychedelic, progressive as well as heavy rock and always shines a spotlight on the heaviest scene favorites and hottest newcomer bands in the scene, because it’s all about keeping the scene alive! To many more years of Desertfests around the world: See you at Columbia Venues Berlin from May 14th to 16th 2027!
