Clutch Announced as Desertfest London 2026 Headliners
Fortune Tellers Make a Killing Nowadays Tour Adds Irish Dates – Full 2025/2026 Schedule, Tickets & Setlist Teases
Germantown/London, 11 November 2025 – Maryland groove-metal titans Clutch are charging into 2026 with unstoppable force: freshly confirmed as headliners for Desertfest London 2026 (May 22-24, Camden) and extending their Fortune Tellers Make a Killing Nowadays Tour with four brand-new Irish dates in May. The band – Neil Fallon (vocals), Tim Sult (guitar), Dan Maines (bass), Jean-Paul Gaster (drums) – will bring the raw firepower of Blast Tyrant, Psychic Warfare, and beyond, backed by special guests 1000Mods and Bokassa.
The European/UK leg kicks off November 24 in Copenhagen and wraps December 20 at London’s Roundhouse, before the Irish extension: two nights in Dublin, plus Belfast and Limerick. Berlin’s December 3 show has been upgraded to Huxleys Neue Welt (original tickets valid) due to demand.
“There’s no question that Clutch etched themselves a name in the pantheon of great rock bands.” – Lambgoat

Setlist Tease: Heavy Grooves, Deep Cuts & Fan Favorites
Expect a tighter-than-ever Clutch: 90-120 min sets blending classics, rarities, and Fortune Tellers material. Recent shows tease:
- Blast Tyrant deep dives (“The Mob Goes Wild,” “Cypress Grove”)
- Psychic Warfare bangers (“X-Ray Visions,” “Firebirds”)
- Fan-voted rarities + extended jams
No repeats, all fire – like The Grateful Dead meets stoner fury.
Clutch Legacy: 30+ Years of Groove-Metal Brotherhood
Clutch shares DNA with The Grateful Dead, Rush, and Allman Brothers – community, connection, ownership. Formed in 1991 by Seneca Valley High classmates, shaped by DC hardcore (Bad Brains, Minor Threat), they’ve released 13 studio albums, toured with Slayer, System of a Down, Dropkick Murphys, Mastodon, and outlasted trends.
Accolades: Earth Rocker & Psychic Warfare in Classic Rock’s 2010s Top 50; Book of Bad Decisions praised by Rolling Stone for “grit and liberal fuzz tone.”
