Desertfest London announces first 2025 acts

The first wave of acts for Desertfest London 2025 have been announced!

Zeal & Ardor will be one of the Desertfest 2025 headliners in London!

The festival, which takes place between Friday, May 16 and Sunday, May 18, 2025, will be held across a number of venues in Camden.

Announced so far are: Zeal & Ardor, Amenra, Elder, Stoned Jesus, The Devil & The Almighty Blues, Planet Of ZeusRickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol, Josiah, Sons Of Alpha Centauri, Volcanova, Scott Hepple & The Sun Band, Black Willows, 10,000 Years, Barbarian Hermit, Erronaut, and Bobbie Dazzle.

Zeal & Ardor will be Saturday night headliners, whilst Elder will be Friday night headliners. Elder will be doing a special performance to celebrate a decade of album Lore!

Vocalist and guitarist Nick DiSalvo said: “Lore is turning 10 years old. This album marked a point of departure for Elder upon a path which the band is still walking now. For us, this is the record where the band came into its own as a unique voice in the heavy rock underground.

“As we approach our second decade as a band, we feel it’s appropriate to look back on this landmark for us and acknowledge it properly, which is why we’re doing a tour performing the entire album along with some other tracks from our earlier catalogue; we’ll give this era of the band a proper celebration before turning our attention once again toward the future and the next album, currently being written.”

Tickets are on sale now here.
