A further 29 bands – including all six stage headliners – are still to be announced. Speaking about the new announcement, festival organiser Gavin McInally says, “we’re delighted to welcome the exceptional HEALTH and blistering live energy of EYES to Damnation for the first time and the return of the stunning WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM. The trio complement an eclectic mix of artists, from WALLS OF JERICHO to EYEHATEGOD, as we continue to stack this year’s line-up with the most exciting live bands we can get our hands on.
With more than half the tickets gone already, we are looking forward to hosting another Damnation for the history books this November.”
