Stoomfest 2026: heavy psych and stoner rock at The Garage, United Kingdom
A bastion of heavy psych and stoner rock in the United Kingdom, Stoomfest takes over **The Garage** in late September for three days of massive riffs and saturated psychedelia. This underground festival celebrates heavy and experimental music in a raw, uncompromising atmosphere.
The 2026 edition brings together 9 artists around cosmic and telluric sounds. Slomatics, Froglord and Kaiser carry the stoner and doom metal spirit with crushing guitars and hypnotic tempos.
The palette explores desert rock, sludge metal, psychedelic and grunge, between fuzz distortions and cosmic atmospheres. Garage rock, hard rock and stoner metal merge in a wall of sound that defines Stoomfest's radical identity.
From September 25 to 27, 2026, The Garage becomes the temple of British heavy psych. Dive into this intense programme and let yourself be engulfed by cosmic vibrations.
