DESERTFEST BERLIN reveals new wave of bands for 2026 adding RED FANG, HÅNDGEMENG, ROTOR & more; Day Splits now available!


Desertfest Berlin turns up the heat once more. After a string of early announcements, the festival now drops another heavy hit of news: Portland’s finest riff dealers RED FANG are back! They will be rolling into Desertfest Berlin 2026 with the full package - massive stoner-rock grooves, hook-loaded sludge anthems, and that unmistakable RED FANG swagger that’s carried them from DIY basements to global festival stages.

Please also welcome: from Oslo, HÅNDGEMENG. These dudes crash in with their explosive fusion of hardcore punk, stoner metal and icy Norwegian chaos – a band that turns every stage into a riot. Berlin’s ROTOR follow with their trademark instrumental powertrip of hypnotic grooves and desert-driven momentum. SKLOSS, Space gaze duo from Austin, Texas. UK desert-rock veterans STEAK with riffs thick as concrete and a catalogue that’s been shaking festival dust worldwide and THE DHARMA CHAIN - Psychedelic daydreamers spinning shimmering, sun-dazed jams that feel like drifting into a parallel universe.

The latest additions crank the line-up to the next level, joining a line-up that already boasts heavy-hitters like RUSSIAN CIRCLES, HERMANO ft. JOHN GARCIA, THE SWORD, KING BUFFALO, ACID KING, TRUCKFIGHTERS, NEBULA, EARTHLESS, BLACKWATER HOLYLIGHT, FUZZ SAGRADO (ex Samsara Blues Expieriment), Thrash Metal powerhouse ZERRE and many more!

From May 14–16, 2026 at Columbiahalle & Columbia-Theater, DESERTFEST BERLIN will turn the German capital into a heavy riff sanctuary, with more names and special suprises to follow. Time to plan, the Day Splits, Tickets and Venue Sleep Over options are now available at: www.desertfest-tickets.de
