"Believe or be damned..."




In a short and deafening history that includes KREATOR, ANAAL NATHRAKH, AMEN, THE HAUNTED, ENTOMBED, STAMPIN' GROUND, AKERCOCKE, SKINDRED, RAGING SPEEDHORN and SIKTH, the UK's DAMNATION FESTIVAL has always been "by the fans, for the fans"

2008 will be no different, with DAMNATION FESTIVAL once again breaking fresh-faced British talent onto the scene and bringing exciting international acts to the UK.

News to come - watch this space!


DAMNATION FESTIVAL will return to darken Leeds' doorstep on SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 2008, promising to be the metal event of the year.
The festival will move into the stunning three-room venue UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS, as it continues to expand as the UK's finest independent metal showcase.
Following three sold-out festivals, capacity will increase to allow near 2,000 fans in this year to witness at least two stages of the finest talent the UK and overseas has to offer.

Organiser Gavin McInally said: "It's been a long time coming but we're delighted to finally announce the University of Leeds as the new home of the ever-expanding DAMNATION FESTIVAL.
"It marks a massive leap for us with three rooms now available, a bigger metal market and more space for fans.
"It goes without saying that we'll be working hard behind the scenes to put together the best bill of home-grown talent the country will see in 2008 with a few imported gems to cater for the demanding tastes of our dedicated fans."
Since DAMNATION's creation in 2005, the festival has proudly hosted performances by KREATOR, THE HAUNTED, an exclusive ANAAL NATHRAKH outing, KATAKLYSM, AMEN, ABORTED, and ENTOMBED. From RAGING SPEEDHORN, SKINDRED, and SIKTH through a farewell STAMPIN' GROUND performance, AKERCOCKE and GOREROTTED, the best the UK has to offer on the live arena has also cemented the festival's reputation as a highlight on the metal calendar.

Gavin added: "DAMNATION FESTIVAL is a rarity, in that it is a genuine metal event by fans for fans and with the continued support of our community we have managed to take another leap forward. "In return we will do everything we can to piece together an unrivalled day of metal for as little as we can possibly price the tickets and hopefully pack Leeds for another event to remember."

DAMNATION FESTIVAL is the product of a group of disillusioned fans fed up with watered down pop-rock taking the place of home-grown heavy metal talent on stages across the UK - we aim to address the balance.
You'll often hear us banging the drum that this is an event "for the fans, by the fans" - but it can't be put any simpler than that.
No suits behind the scenes, no money making master-plan and no agenda other than to host a festival bill worth stripping to the waist and rubbing against sweaty headbangers for!

Sounds Like: "The true face of the UK metal underground has finally clawed its way onto the festival map and no amount of imported Euro or US talent can plaster over the wound!
---
"A festival which can truly claim to be created by fans for fans, Damnation ventures down paths few dare to tread, simulating a seething slew of a metal violence not seen since the days Ozzy could throw a wife punch...
---
"British steel, from extreme death metal to modern hardcore, unites for the sold-out inaugural Damnation Festival. And after the final chords are torn out from a tormented Raging Speedhorn guitar to cap off a perfect display, the feeling of being at the birth of something great is much more tangible than the passing of it."
Virtual Festivals

"Another giant nail in the coffin of corporate rock"
Terrorizer

"This isn't a festival for scenes and trends, this is Damnation Festival and it rocks!"
Mille Petrozza, Kreator

"It was a pleasure to play Damnation Festival, a festival which had enough balls to bring us back to the UK and put us on a stage. Thank you."
Casey Chaos, Amen

"Last night was absolute fucking beautiful mayhem. 800 people showed up for the Damnation fest, selling the place out. We'd like to thank all the bands and all the people who were involved in making it great.
"To all the metalheads who showed up - you are sick! It was amazing chaos crowdsurfing slamdance singalong metal insanity in all it's ragged glory and hugs and kisses all around the house. Thank you!
"If this is what we're looking forward to for the upcoming shows... Sweet as as pie!
"Fuck yes! Burn, crush, and in general - just fuckin rage on!"
Peter Dolving, The Haunted

"Damnation is one of the best festivals in the UK and the fact that it's growing in popularity and has moved to a bigger venue this year just goes to prove that."
