The inaugural Desert Hel was to be hosted on 24 and 25 April 2020 at On The Rocks in Helsinki, Finland. Along with featuring Lonely Kamel and Lucifer as headliners, the festival also notably features a Kyuss cover band in One Inch Band.

However the festival would be postponed to 2022 due to The CO-VID19 Pandemic. The Re-Stoned and Kaleidobolt would drop off by time of the rescheduled dates of 22 and 23 April 2022. A Kyuss cover band known as One Inch Band was intended to play as well, intending to play the band's setlist from 1995's Bizarre Festival.
