Buried In Smoke Festival: Stoner Rock and Doom Metal Immersion in Oxford

On March 28 and 29, 2026, The Bullingdon in Oxford hosts Buried In Smoke Festival, an essential gathering for lovers of stoner rock, doom metal, and desert rock. This two-day festival celebrates heavy and psychedelic sounds, bringing together British heavy metal and sludge metal bands. The atmosphere saturated with massive riffs and hypnotic grooves promises an intense experience in Oxford.

The lineup showcases British stoner figures: Alunah, masters of oriental and mystical doom, Slabdragger, specialists in brutal sludge, and Gnome, explorers of psychedelic rock. Also featured are Sergeant Thunderhoof, Desert Storm, and Winnebago Deal, ensuring a weekend of devastating riffs.

The festival explores territories of fuzzed-out heavy: groovy stoner metal, meditative doom metal, abrasive sludge metal, hypnotic desert rock, mesmerizing psychedelic, massive hard rock, and touches of southern rock. This sonic palette allows for alternating between soaring passages and surges of power, while celebrating riff culture and Sabbathian influences. The underground spirit and passion for saturated amps create an authentic and community atmosphere.

Join us at the end of March 2026 in Oxford for a weekend of heavy psych. Buried In Smoke Festival promises total immersion in stoner haze and doom abyss.
