Damnation Festival 2026, Manchester

Damnation Festival have shared the exciting news that Cult Of Luna, Satyricon, Carcass, Igorrr, Crowbar and Triptykon have been added to the 2026 bill, making this year the deepest and strongest Damnation yet.

Swedish Post Metal masters Cult Of Luna will headline Saturday, while Norwegian Black Metal legends Satyricon will close the festival with a UK exclusive performance on Sunday.

English death metal icons Carcass, French experimentalists Igorrr, US sludge stalwarts Crowbar and Swiss Extreme Metallers Triptykon also top the most impressive Damnation line-up to date.

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

With more than half the tickets already sold, the festival is set for a sell-out in record time. Tickets are on sale now from £20 deposit plus booking fee via the festival website.
