The organizer of Desert Rock Festival, Center Stage Management, is excited to announce the full line-up for its 6th edition held at Dubai Festival City on Friday, March 6th 2009. Six international heavy metal bands will dominate the stage providing seven hours of live music, supported by two lucky bands chosen from competitions currently running across the globe. A day not to miss!
The line-up for this year's Desert Rock Festival will feature: Motörhead, Arch Enemy, Opeth, Chimaira, August Burns Red, Nervecell and two unsigned bands from various competitions, namely Hatred [GER] and Scarab.
This marks Motörhead's first ever performance in the Middle East since the beginning of their career in 1975. On their 30th anniversary, they won a Grammy for "Best Metal Performance", promising a powerful show.
At the same time, two competitions are being conducted simultaneously for the first time this year: United We Rock. This online-based competition, taking place in both UAE and Germany as an "exchange program"' where both winners play respectively at Desert Rock Festival and With Full Force. Votes ended on December 25th.
In 2009, Desert Rock Festival will be a full day dedicated to and celebrating heavy metal. The acclaimed music event started off as a 3-hour show in 2004 and expanded into a 2-day festival in 2007 with a heavy metal day to start with and 'mainstream' rock the next. However, based on the popularity of the heavy metal genre in the region and the day dedicated to it, festival promoters confirm Desert Rock Festival will take place on Friday, March 6th, rewarding loyal Desert Rock 'disciples' that have made it a success, every year since its inception.
The festival has been described as "the hottest rock festival on the planet" by Kerrang! and "a major event attended by a vast crowd from all parts of the Middle East plus a smattering of rock'n'roll minded British and American expats" by Metal Hammer.

| There was so much crap running for a spot at Desert Rock in the German part of that newcomer competion. And only two bands worthy to represent our country. I'm glad that one of those two eventually made the race. |
