About

Damnation is an indoor festival for extreme metal, held in early November. It spent many years at Leeds University Union and now runs at the BEC Arena in Manchester.

The bill covers death, black, doom, sludge, post-metal and hardcore, from cult veterans to new bands, across several stages. It's well organised, friendly and the last big metal festival of the year.
