Damnation Festival announce four new bands
Damnation Festival have announced four new bands!
US black metal outfit WORM and Swedish death metal bruisers LIK have been added to the line‑up for this year’s festival, taking place at Manchester’s BEC Arena across Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th November. They will be joined by UK post‑metal act HUNDRED YEAR OLD MAN and blackened punk aggressors FINAL DOSE.
The newly announced acts bolster what is already shaping up to be the festival’s most stacked bill to date. Previously confirmed bands include CULT OF LUNA, SATYRICON, IGORRR, CARCASS, CROWBAR, TRIPTYKON, HEALTH, WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM, WALLS OF JERICHO, and EYEHATEGOD.
Commenting on the announcement, festival organiser Gavin McInally shares, “the UK has waited long enough to see the incredible WORM on our shores so we’re delighted to welcome them to Damnation. While LIK left their mark on Leeds with their pummelling death metal so it’s great to have them back, this time in Manchester for what will be their only UK show of 2026. And representing the depth of homegrown talent we have, HUNDRED YEAR OLD MAN and FINAL DOSE also join the most obscene line‑up we’ve ever put together. We’re enjoying record sales and hope to be sold out sooner rather than later, so get involved before next Thursday and you can secure your place for £20 plus fees.”
Damnation Festival 2026 takes place at BEC Arena, Manchester from 7th-8th November 2026. Tickets are available now and can be purchased here.
