Desertfest Belgium 2026: the stoner, doom and psych high mass plugs in at Liège

After several editions in Antwerp, Desertfest Belgium moves in 2026 to OM, a multi-stage venue in Seraing on the edge of Liège, from 16 to 18 October. Part of the Desertfest family that also runs London, Berlin, Oslo and New York, the festival sticks to its creed: heavy, slow, fuzz-soaked rock, from stoner rock to doom by way of psychedelic rock.

Three stages (Desert, Canyon, Vulture) and some forty bands. On Friday Sólstafir close the Desert Stage after Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs and Wolvennest; Saturday belongs to Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats, preceded by 1000mods and Ufomammut, who replace Mantar (drummer injury); Sunday lines up Monolord, Boris, Khemmis and Ahab. Over on Canyon and Vulture, Krallice, Yawning Man, Dopelord and Earth Tongue keep the nights going past midnight.

The three-day pass costs €154 and day tickets €58 (Friday) and €63 (Saturday, Sunday), fees included. Doors open at 5:30pm on Friday and 2:30pm at the weekend. Ougrée station is 200 metres away, free shuttles run back to Liège-Guillemins late at night and the P3 car park (600+ spaces) is free.

Desertfest Belgium runs from 16 to 18 October 2026 at OM (Seraing): timetable and tickets on the official site.
