After a great first edition that saw the likes of Electric Wizard, Brant Bjork, Fu Manchu, Yob and dozens more tear down Antwerp, the DESERTFEST promoters decided to run their second Belgium edition this fall. Located in Antwerp outskirts, the Trix venue will once again host the world’s best heavy bands, spread over three stages drenched in that underground atmosphere we all love. Beware of the sandstorm!
