Damnation Festival announce two new bands for 2026

DAMNATION FESTIVAL have announced two more bands for this year’s event!

US melodic crust outfit LAGRIMAS and UK sludge metal heavyweights MASTIFF have been added to the line-up for this year’s festival, which takes place at the BEC Arena in Manchester on November 7th and 8th.

The newly announced acts join an already stacked bill featuring CULT OF LUNA, SATYRICON, IGORRR, CARCASS, HEALTH, CROWBAR, TRIPTYKON and WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM.

Speaking about the latest additions, organiser Gavin McInally shares, “with Saturday already sold out and fewer than 800 weekend tickets left, this is the big push to get this year’s Damnation sold out as fuck. It’s an absolute pleasure to have the stunning LAGRIMAS over from Los Angeles for what is going to be a flurry of energy and chaos for their set.

While MASTIFF‘s long-awaited Damnation appearance is also going to be one that will live long in the memory. There’s few riffs that will shake our PA like the one in Repulse when it comes back, but slower. There’s two bands still to come to complete the line-up but let’s welcome them to an already sold out event by grabbing your instalment ticket before they come off sale at 11pm tonight.”
