Damnation Festival reveal three more bands
Several new bands have been announced for this year’s Damnation Festival!
German black metallers GROZA, Spanish death metal outfit WORMED, and German doom standouts COLTAINE have all been added to the already stacked lineup for the festival’s 21st edition, set to take place at BEC Arena in Manchester this November.
WORMED and COLTAINE join the sold out Saturday date on November 7th, which already features the likes of CULT OF LUNA, CARCASS, HEALTH, CROWBAR, and THE BERZERKER. Meanwhile, GROZA bolster the Sunday lineup alongside SATYRICON, IGORRR, TRIPTYKON, WALLS OF JERICHO, and WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM.
GROZA step in as a replacement for LAMP OF MURMUUR, who have been forced to cancel their appearance due to logistical issues surrounding their move to Europe.
Speaking about the latest additions, organiser Gavin McInally shares, “we’re delighted to be adding another three amazing bands, each making their Damnation debut, to by far and away the strongest line-up we’ve ever put together. To have sold out the Saturday tickets by June tells its own story and although we never take any sales for granted, there’s no good reason why the Sunday and the weekend tickets won’t also be sold out before long.”

Damnation Festival 2026 takes place at BEC Arena, Manchester from 7th-8th November 2026. Tickets are available now and can be purchased here.
