Follow and listen to our official Spotify playlist

Desert crusiers and scandi stoners, heavy rockers and angry loners, it is time!

Pre-sale for weekend tickets are available here.

 
We can only hope you’ve been waiting for this announcement as much as we have.
Just a tiny fraction of our stokeness would do the trick to be honest.
 
We are dead proud to drop this first batch of strictly bangers for Desertfest Oslo 2025! 🔥
 
Masters of their craft, wizards of the riffs, Elder will be celebrating 10 years of their album Lore. Making rounds in Europe, it is only fitting they stop by Oslo again! 
 
Oklahoma based Chat Pile manages to encapsulate everything wrong with humanity, especially in the god-ridden modern day USA. Their energetic performance, and lyrics, is like watching a horror scene you don’t want to, but your gaze is somehow fixed.
 
Not many knew this, but our neighbors to the east have one of the most successful musical astronauts on this planet, Oranssi Pazuzu! Their ventures in the cosmic soundscape is unparalleled and we’re in for a Suomi treat in Oslo, buckle up!
 
For anyone who have not checked out Whores’ album War. this is your queue. The album being one of the absolute stand-outs in 2024, Whores is gonna take the world by storm on this tour, and Oslo will be laid to waste.
 
Black Pyramid will also make their way to Oslo, and with them they’ll bring a sound so fuzzy and warm you could walk barefoot through a winter storm. A titanic sound as this deserves to be enjoyed by the best crowd there is.
 
There’s no need to write a lot about black metal, us being Norwegians and all, but sometimes. Sometimes. A band comes around who challenges stereotypical trends, rules and mindsets. Therefore we can say: We love the spiritual sound of ecstatic black metal by the band Agriculture®.
 
Oslo is the target, Help is the Portland truthbomb coming our way! It seems like a trend these days, but for some the American dream is faltering, ripping at the seams. And which better soundtrack to accompany broken hearted Americans than Help? It’s heavy. It’s explosive. It’s f*cking personal now.
 
What’s that? Rumbling in the sky, birds are flying in great flocks, distant screams? What. Is. That? That’s death, riding on his motorcycle, guitar-axe in hand. Hippie Death Cult will blaze through Desertfest Oslo, bringing thunder and lightning, rumble and fuzz, groove and doom. Just listen to their album 111, absolute legendary stuff.
 
Last but not least, our very own Magmakammer! For anyone not in the know, check out their new album Before I Burn. The music and penmanship speaks for itself. They fit the bill perfectly, and to be honest, they deserve to be on the run with some of the best. Touring the world with Big Muffs, mustaches and 70s swagger!
 
Weekend passes now on sale (only 150 of them!) and many more bands to be announced!
