⚡️ Hi Desertfreaks, unlike the years before due to logistics we can't offer you Early Bird Tickets on the festival. We know you were hungry for them - but fear not - we will let you know on our channels when and how they will go on sale!
🔥Final band announcement! To complete our journey this weekend we present you coming all the way from Reindeer-Land the steamy-sweet, prog-proto rockmonsters ❤️ The Fins just released their new album "One simple trick" so they will be playing a ton of new stuff! Also they are no stranger to Desertfest as they rocked the stage there 2016! The spaceship is now ready for take off - are you? 🚀
KALEIDOBOLT play on Sunday 4:40 pm on the second stage!
Welcome to EL ARENA(L) ❤
You might remember or have heard of the beergarden?! Insane performances on deck of the Hoppetosse, secret talents revealed themselves at Karaoke, our hot DJs spinning obscurities, favourites and Scooter?
We are doing it again. And are adding two more bands to the GAME. Please welcome the insane Indian Nightmare and Howling Wolves
⚡️ Hi Desertheads!
As you are probably just folding your underwear and thinking which bandshirt you are going to wear, we will take the time to give you a couple more clues about Il FESTIVALE and give you something useful to do. See you tomorrow!
🤑 The nearest ATM is 100m from the ARENA at the entrance to the FESTSAAL Kreuzberg.
📸 Analogue and digital compact cameras as well as mobile phones with camera function are allowed on the festival grounds. SLR cameras, professional video cameras, tape recorders of any kind are prohibited without proper accreditation.
⛺️ There is no camping area around the ARENA. At "Treptower Park“ there is the possibility to park directly at the park. Officially, camping with a bus or trailer is not permitted there. Camping is absolutely forbidden!
🎒 🧥 The coatcheck is located in the hall. Please make sure to pick up your stuff after the last band! We close the hall after the last concert and your stuff will be thrown in the river Spree. There are also a limited number of lockers available.
👂 You can get earprotection at the Infopoint / Wristband exchange and at the coatcheck
🎫 Tickets miraculously become wristbands on presentation of your tickets / vouchers. You will receive your day or festival wristbands. The place for the exchange is in front of the ARENA. The wristband is not to be taken off and can not be transferred to another person. Digital tickets are exactly that: DIGITAL. They don't need to be printed as long as you can present the QR code on your phonescreen.
💰 How to pay: Like at other festivals, payment with tokens has proven it's worth. You can pay for all drinks with the "Desert Dollar“. You can exchange your money (or pay with card) for „Desert Dollars“ at the wristband exchange, in the ARENA hall at the market place and on the FIRST festival day additionally at a market place stall in the outdoor area. *Fun Fact*: you can still tipp our lovely stuff with "real" money.
🍺 🍺 Like last edition, we charge 2 Euro for your cup. That means throughout the festival you are exchanging your cup. At the end you get to keep the amazing Desertfest cup! Win Win!
🚗 🚙 There are no parking facilities at and around the ARENA! No really, there are NONE. ACAB also in Berlin and they will tow you and charge you for wrong parking. Please use public transport. For possibilities to park check above ⛺️
🏥 The nearest pharmacy is at Schlesische Strasse 37 (200m away).
In case of an emergency we have medical assistance on the ground.
🔌 We have set up a few USB chargers at the coatcheck for charging your mobile, so keep on tagging us in our stories.
❤️ Desertfest is a place of no homophobia, no violence, no sexism, and no racism. If you feel uncomfortable in any situation or need help, please reach out to us at the infopoint or the people at the DJ booth in the beergarden.
🚌 How to get there - Please use public transport!
Bus: Exit station "Eichenstr. / Puschkinallee“ (Line 165 or 265)
S-Bahn (City train): Exit station "Treptower Park“
U-Bahn (Underground): Exit station "Schlesisches Tor“ (Line U1)
Did we forget something?
Let us know in the comments.
Desertheads,
the clock is ticking and soon it’s Boogie time!
The 2022 edition features 35 bands on 2 indoor stages in our great sounding "black box".
No overlaps, so everyone can see all bands.
Of course we are preparing more specials for you in our outside area with "beergarden" and on the "Hoppetosse" boat!
More info regarding the entry, payment system, ect will follow.
For now here’s the timetable for Desertfest Berlin 2022.
We can’t wait!

We wish Canek a fast recovery and hope he will be able enjoy live shows with SLIFT again very soon 🤘

*** Official SLIFT statement ***
"Oï everyone,
Canek is injured recently. We thought he would get better quickly, but things are worse than expected, and he is forced to rest for a month.
We are sorry to announce that all our shows are canceled until June 23 (included). Unfortunately, these shows could not be postponed. Please, contact your venue for ticket refunds.
We apologize deeply, to you who were planning to come, and to the venues that booked us. Touring has been an integral part of our life since the beginning of the band, and it’s hard for us to have to give up these shows with you. But there will be many more to share together !
Thank you very much for your unfailing support, it means a lot.
See you all soon !"

Dear Desert Friends,
today we're happy to present you Stöner's new single "STRAWBERRY CREEK (DIRTY FEET)", the third single taken from Stöner's upcoming sophomore album "totally..." 🤘
Brant Bjork comments:
“When the summer months roll into the desert… the heat burns your feet. So we desert folk take a ride up the mountain side to Strawberry Creek. You’re sure to cool off but you’ll still have dirty feet. And that’s totally ok.”
⚡️ Enjoy the desert tunes and get hyped for the new album!
"totally..." will be released on May 6th via HEAVY PSYCH SOUNDS.

Hey friends, check out the news from our partners in New York! John Garcia & The Band of Gold, Mothership & King Buffalo have been added to the Desertfest NYC line-up 🤘
As you might already know, Monster Magnet unfortunately had to cancel their show due to injury. But no other than the ultimate namesake & true living legend, Kyuss frontman John Garcia & The Band of Gold will roll into the Knockdown Center instead! 🌵
We are also sending huge amounts of love to Ukraine’s Stoned Jesus who will no longer be able to make the trip to the USA for their performance at DF NYC, replacing them will be intergalactic heavy rockers Mothership, who we know will be bringing a serious dose of the party 🛸
It’s with a heavy heart we also announce GREEN LUNG are unable to travel at this time. Filling their spot on the Saturday will be one of the best live-bands of current time, the mighty King Buffalo are sure to help ease the pain 💥
