All London's live music

Undisputed masters of huge riffs, pugnacious grooves and ferocious hooks since 1991, Machine Head are long established as one of the most influential and incendiary bands in the metal world.

Newport’s reggae-metal soundsystem Skindred were already renowned as an exhilarating live band, but 2023’s ‘Smile’ album changed the game.

Marking its 14th year in 2026, Desertfest is the UK's premier independent Stoner Rock, Doom, Psych & Sludge festival.

We are extremely proud to announce the first 5 artists for Desertfest London 2026.

Venues

• The Roundhouse, Camden
• The Electric Ballroom
• The Underworld
• The Black Heart
• The Devonshire Arms
