Damnation Festival returns in 2025, celebrating 20th anniversary

Beloved metal festival Damnation returns to Manchester next year, taking over BEC Arena on Saturday 8th - Sunday 9th November 2025

Damnation Festival 2024 went down last weekend, bringing metalheads another fantastic year of slamming riffs, lively pits, and nasty guttural vocals. Since the festival has so many loyal fans who travel from all over to attend, the festival has gone ahead and announced its 2025 return. 

If you’re new to Damnation Festival, the festival has booked bands including Cradle of Filth, Nails, Decapitated, Gatecreeper, Electric Wizard, Undeath, Katatonia, Amenra, Green Lung, Carcass, and Godflesh in recent years.
