Only a few days remain until Desertfest Berlin kicks off, and the festival has now unveiled its final timetables alongside another round of additions to the already stacked line-up. Newly confirmed acts include Temple Fang, Zig Zags, Earthbong and Karla Kvlt, while the outdoor stage welcomes BLKE, Abanamat, Dirty Mops, Electric Jugs and Menk.
In addition, The Dharma Chain have been moved from Saturday to Friday’s schedule.
At the same time, fans will unfortunately have to miss out on Cardiel, Monsterwatch and Gumm, who are no longer set to appear at this year’s Desertfest Berlin.
The final announcement adds even more weight to a line-up that already ranks among the festival’s strongest in recent memory: YOB, Red Fang, Russian Circles, Hermano feat. John Garcia, The Sword, King Buffalo, Acid King, Truckfighters, Crippled Black Phoenix, Nebula, Earthless, Greenleaf, Rotor, Blackwater Holylight, Zerre, Pelican, High Desert Queen and many more are set to turn this year’s edition into one of the festival’s heaviest and most expansive line-ups to date!
Kicking off the annual riff fest in style, the beloved Desertfest Berlin Warm-Up show returns to Neue Zukunft on May 13. Getting things loud early and heating up the stage ahead of the main event are Desertheads, Solace, Red Mess and Krake.
Desertfest Berlin 2026 takes place from May 14–16, 2026 at Columbiahalle and Columbia Theater. Both the festival and the warm-up show are close to selling out. Remaining tickets are available via desertfest-tickets.de
