Hermano Confirmed as Electric Ballroom Headliner, Pigx7 Return After 8 Years Away

Desertfest London has just dropped its second wave of artists for the 2026 edition, and it’s nothing short of a desert storm. Leading the charge are none other than Hermano, who will headline the Electric Ballroom for their first UK performance in nearly two decades. Fronted by Kyuss legend John Garcia, the California heavyweights are returning to the spiritual home of riff-worship to remind everyone why they remain icons of the stoner rock realm.

A Feral Homecoming for Pigx7

The UK’s own PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS will make their thunderous return to the Desertfest stage for the first time since 2018. Known for their ferocious live shows and genre-bending slabs of noise, the Newcastle outfit is sure to deliver a set that hits like a ritualistic pummeling.

Causa Sui & Solace Make Their London Bows

Another notable addition is Denmark’s Causa Sui, who will be making their Desertfest London debut with an instrumental voyage of spaced-out heavy psych. Meanwhile, East Coast doom veterans Solace are set to return to UK soil for the first time in over a decade, following the 25th anniversary of their seminal record Further.

While the final Roundhouse headliner is still to be revealed, this batch alone makes it clear Desertfest 2026 is shaping up to be one for the books.
