Damnation Festival announces final bands for 2026 lineup!
The festival have revealed the final additions to this year’s lineup, with Norwegian experimental metal outfit SHINING and Bristol sludge/post-metal outfit SUGAR HORSE completing the bill for the 2026 edition of the festival.
The newly announced bands will perform on Sunday, November 8th at Manchester’s BEC Arena, joining a stacked lineup that already includes SATYRICON, IGORRR, TRIPTYKON, WALLS OF JERICHO and WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM. The announcement completes the festival’s 2026 billing, while Saturday’s sold-out programme boasts performances from CULT OF LUNA, CARCASS, HEALTH, CROWBAR, THE BERZERKER and EYEHATEGOD.
Speaking about the final additions, festival organiser Gavin McInally shares, “with fewer than 600 weekend and some Sunday day tickets left on sale, we welcome our final two bands to the party, SHINING and SUGAR HORSE. Both will play the Meliora Stage, which is the perfect fit for their arsenal of progressive and experimental riffs. The final additions complement what is an absolute beast of a year for us and we’re looking forward to a full house in November for the metal weekend of the year.
Saturday is sold out so take the plunge with a weekend ticket. Or if you can’t make a full weekend out of it, come and enjoy the Sunday line-up with is packed with unmissable sets.”
Damnation Festival 2026 takes place at BEC Arena, Manchester from 7th-8th November 2026. Tickets are available now and can be purchased here.
