Cult Of Luna and Satyricon have been announced as the main headliners of this year’s Damnation.

They’ll be joined at the metal weekender – which takes place between November 7-8 at Manchester’s BEC Arena – by fellow huge additions Carcass, Igorrr, Crowbar and Triptykon, not to mention the already-announced likes of HEALTH, Walls Of Jericho, Eyehategod and Wolves In The Throne Room.

“We promised ticket buyers who supported us early that we would repay that faith with the strongest line-up we could pull together,” announces organiser Gavin McInally. “Promises made. Promises kept.

“All six of these bands could headline Damnation without raising an eyebrow so to have them all play the same year is obscene, never mind alongside the likes of HEALTH, Eyehategod and Wolves In The Throne Room. Incredibly, we have another 19 bands to come and those are all gems too.

“If there’s any justice in our music scene, Damnation will sell out today, so please grab your phone, alert your friends and make sure that they don’t miss out on the metal weekend of the year.”
