Damnation Festival reveal six new bands
Damnation Festival have announced a huge wave of bands!
Following February’s announcement, which saw the likes of WEEKEND NACHOS, MØL and more confirmed, now, six new bands have been announced to perform at this year’s edition.
Swedish post‑metal masters CULT OF LUNA will headline the Saturday, while Norwegian black metal legends SATYRICON will close the festival on the Sunday with a UK exclusive performance. They join English death metal icons CARCASS, French experimental force IGORRR, US sludge heavyweights CROWBAR, and Swiss extreme metal titans TRIPTYKON at the top of the bill.
Speaking about the announcement, festival organiser Gavin McInally shares, “we promised ticket buyers who supported us early that we would repay that faith with the strongest line-up we could pull together. Promises made. Promises kept. All six of these bands could headline Damnation without raising an eyebrow so to have them all play the same year is obscene, nevermind alongside the likes of HEALTH, EYEHATEGOD and WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM. Incredibly, we have another 19 bands to come and those are all gems too.
If there’s any justice in our music scene, Damnation will sell out today, so please grab your phone, alert your friends and make sure that they don’t miss out on the metal weekend of the year.”
Damnation Festival 2026 takes place at BEC Arena, Manchester from 7th-8th November 2026. Tickets are available now and can be purchased here.
