From June 11 to 13, all the gratin of the stoner will be found not far from Cologne for the traditional sauterie of the Freak valley festival, ninth of the name. 2 scenes, no overlapping group, you have thirty groups in 3 days and you can see them all, no need to tear your hair out to organize your day … The entire program is not yet known (almost half the names are missing, the organ taking pleasure in making us stamp with impatience), the tickets were snatched up in less than 30 minutes last October and the luckiest among us will be able to enjoy beautiful eclectic programming:
Fu Manchu
Because the legends are forever and after Brant Bjork last year, we keep deleting names on our list “to see before you die from a Chinese virus or something else” …

Elder
Because these are 5 mythical letters in the little microcosm of the stoner … Elder, or the guarantee of a grand and unique moment. The proof: during their last visit to Freak valley in 2016, the group had played … the whole of their album “Lore” …
Witchcraft
Because each release of the enigmatic Magnus Pelander is always an event, and a new album (“Black Metal”) is expected in the coming months …
Pelican
Because post-metal deserves its place in the stoner siblings and we can’t wait to shiver in front of the barriers, especially when the American quartet lays us a cake of the caliber Nighttime stories…
Stoned jesus
Because Ukrainians are confirmed stage animals … And then hearing again “I’m the mountain” live makes us salivate in advance … [ndlr : une partie de la rédaction de Desert-Rock se désengage fermement de ce dernier postulat]
Pontiak
Because the look of the trio (a clever mix between Di Caprio’s “The Revenant” period and the exuberant hairiness of the Kadavars) challenges almost as much as their hovering psychedelic blues.
Elephant Tree
Because we are impatiently waiting for the moment when our necks are going to unscrew and our socks are going to come down by themselves as soon as the group starts singing “Aphotic blues” …
The Neptune Power Federation
Because the crazy look of the frontwoman intrigues us … And that we adore when she is a young lady behind the microphone, that changes us bearded! Surely, the UFO of this programming.
Monomyth
Because the album Quadrant Orbis contains enough lysergic flights to make us soar for at least 3 days!
We hunt buffalo
Because, in spite of this rather annoying fashion which consists of eating things which grow in the ground, the idea of hunting the buffalo is ultimately quite exciting …
We still hope to see beautiful names accompany this already attractive poster but we do not worry, the German festival having always had a certain taste for its programming, between sure values and little-known nuggets …
