One of the UK's pre-eminent metal festivals has put together a stunning line-up to commemorate 20 years of bringing filthily heavy music to the northern masses.
Taking place on 8 and 9 November at Manchester's Bowlers Exhibition Centre, Damnation Festival 2025 will be headlined by English grindcore legends Napalm Death and sludge overlords Corrosion of Conformity playing a European exclusive show. They'll be joined by a who's who of modern metal music, including Perturbator, Amenra, Deafheaven, High on Fire, Wiegedood, Pig Destroyer, and Conjurer, to name just a few, with further bands still to be announced.
Damnation is more than just its line-up, however, with a strong and tight-knit online community having helped the festival grow and move from its previous home in Leeds. If you want to see what all the fuss is about – or just spend a weekend raging to loud, heavy music – check out the full programme and book your spot here. Tickets start at £155 for the full two days.
