Title: Obsidian Dust 2026 - Brussels, 16/17th May
Post by: StoutAndAle on January 08, 2026, 04:52:26 PM
Picked up a ticket for this newish, small festival. Expanded from one day to two in this, its second year.

Solid (if not setting the world alight) line-up. It'll be a bit of craic. €110 for a two-day ticket.

Flights etc. are all very reasonable for 3 nights too.

Just hoping that the Belgians know how to make a decent beer...

Yob and a few others announced for this today.

Ticket got, looks like it could be a nice replacement for my usual Desertfest Antwerp trip which is moving to Liege this year.

Just read the YOB announcement. Absolutely delighted with that.

The other bands mentioned in today's release - I don't think I've ever listened to any of them.

There are a fair few bands doing Obsidian Dust and Desertfest Berlin/London on alternate nights - The Sword, Hermano, Red Fang, King Buffalo, Dope Purple, Earthless, Cardiel, Blackwater Holylight.

There are a few others that are on the Desertfest lineup who could fill a gap nicely at Obsidian Dust - Causa Sui, Russian Circles and Toundra.
