Ashenspire is an experimental metal group formed in 2013 as a means of

exploring the contradictions inherent in a contemporary capitalist world, tracing its roots from the empire-building of prior centuries to the neoliberal project of the modern world.

The group presents challenging and abrasive musical textures (making use of sprechgesang, violin and saxophone extended techniques) in a progressive, post-black metal framework alongside incisive political

critique of the historical basis and current state of postmodern life.

DVNE is a 5-piece progressive rock/metal band from Edinburgh, Scotland. Founded in 2013, the band was then called Dune in reference to Frank Herbert’s masterpiece of the same name; a statement of the band’s mutual obsession for Sci-fi and fantasy of all forms, the inspiration of which has continued to influence their music to this day. With highly dynamic compositions venturing from delicate and intricate melodies to crushing and brutal soundscapes, Dvne’s music takes its listeners through a deeply emotional journey filled with dystopian thematics, grand narrative, and other-worldly landscapes. Since Asheran’s release, Dvne has toured all over the UK, Europe and North America and appeared at prestigious festivals such as Psycho Las Vegas, Desertfest London and Inferno Festival Norway to name a few.

Joined by experimental maestros Pijn & Codices

The UK’s leading stoner rock, doom, psych & heavy music event, Desertfest, returns for its 11th edition next May 5th - 7th 2023. Returning stronger than ever thanks to the unyielding support of a steadfast fan base, Desertfest is now entering its eleventh year in May 2023. As the UK’s leading stoner rock, doom, psych & heavy rock festival, Desertfest prides itself on diversifying line-ups and providing a platform for renowned acts & lesser-known artists to play an array of venues to differing crowds within the underground music scene.

Desertfest London rounds off the year with an ear-shattering bang, announcing a mammoth forty-three artists to their 2023 line-up. Joining the likes of Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats, Graveyard, Kadavar & Church of Misery, the Camden-based festival will welcome back Corrosion of Conformity as headliners.

Pioneers of a groove-laden sound that is undeniably their own, Corrosion of Conformity have not been back on UK soil since 2018 so expect big, loud & memorable things from their appearance at Desertfest next year. Corrosion of Conformity have been due to play the event since 2020 - making their return one of the most widely requested in the event’s history.

Japan’s own avant-garde maestros of down-tuned psychedelia Boris leap over to London, alongside the crushingly loud tones of NOLA’s own Crowbar. One of the most exciting bands in recent memory King Buffalo, make their long-awaited debut. Plus, Desertfest favourites Weedeater are back after 5 long years of chugging whiskey lord-knows-where.

The pace moves up a notch with New York City’s noise-rock guru’s Unsane and British punklegends Discharge, all of whom bring a detour from the slow’n’low sounds the festival is best recognised for. Montreal’s Big|Brave will play the festival for the first time showcasing their experimental & minimalist take on the notion of ‘heavy’, whilst the doors to the Church of The Cosmic Skull are open, as they ask Desertfest revellers to join them in a union unlike any other.

Desertfest also warmly welcomes noise from STAKE, British anti-fascist black metallers Dawn Ray’d, London’s loudest duo Tuskar. As well as some ome of the best recent stoner acts in the form of Telekinetic Yeti, Weedpecker & Great Electric Quest. Elsewhere the weekend will also see Wren, The Necromancers, Dommengang, Samavayo, Morass of Molasses, Sum of R & GNOB offer up unique live performances.

Rounding off this beast of an announcement are Acid Mammoth, Deatchant, Zetra, Trevor’s Head, Our Man in The Bronze Age, Wyatt E., Iron Jinn, Mr Bison, Troy The Band, Oreyeon, Warren Schoenbright, Firebreather, Longheads, Terror Cosmico, Thunder Horse, TONS, Vinnum Sabbathi, Bloodswamp, Gandalf the Green, Earl of Hell & Black Groove.

This is an 18+ event. (Photo ID Required)

Formed by guitarist/composer Omar Rodríguez-López and singer/lyricist Cedric Bixler-Zavala, The Mars Volta rose from the ashes of El Paso punk-rock firebrands At The Drive-In in 2001. On a mission to “honor our roots and honor our dead”, The Mars Volta made music that fused the Latin sounds Rodríguez-López was raised on with the punk and underground noise he and Bixler-Zavala had immersed themselves in for years, and the futuristic visions they were tapping into. The albums that followed were one-of-a-kind masterpieces, their songs of breath-taking complexity also possessing powerful emotional immediacy. After the group fell silent, a legion of devotees (including Kanye West) kept up an insistent drum-beat for their return.
