Damnation Festival announce two more bands

Two more bands have been announced for Damnation Festival!

Following a festival season that was cancelled and/or postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Damnation Festival (like so many others) announced 14 bands for 2021’s festival back in October.

Now, as hope for normality gathers pace with the mass vaccination campaign, two more bands have been announced for 2021’s festival. Joining the likes of WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM, BLOOD INCANTATION, BELL WITCH AND AERIAL RUIN, PALLBEARER and more, are US stoner rockers ELDER and emerging crossover thrashers HIGH COMMAND.

Speaking about the new announcement, festival organiser, Gavin McInally says, “no one knows how this year is going to pan out but there’s no point moping around or just throwing in the towel. All we can do is put together the best line-up we possibly can and the additions of ELDER and HIGH COMMAND certainly add some shine to what was already an incredible bill. We have more death and black metal to announce shortly, followed by more death, another pinch of doom, thrash and some left-field goodness to keep things fresh and interesting.

As we’ve said previously, more than half of tickets are already gone and for those who are hopelessly pessimistic and believe 2021 is going to be another write off, there’s no issues with refunds should you want to buy a ticket with some security – our ticket suppliers, Eventbrite, have ALL the money. For us though, hope dies last and we’ll see you all at a sold-out Damnation in November, following a bumper metal party on the Friday.”

Damnation Festival 2021 takes place at Leeds University Union, Leeds on November 6th 2021. Tickets are available now (priced at 2019’s £49) and can be purchased here.
