Damnation 2025

Damnation started in Manchester in 2005, in a place called Jilly’s Rockworld, returning there again 2006, with both years sold out at a thousand capacity. From Manchester, Damnation then moved to venues in Leeds and spent the vast majority of it's history there, selling out at the 2500 - 3000 mark regularly, but again found the restrictions of venue size to be an issue for accommodating demand.

Fast forward to 2021, where the decision was made to move to BEC Arena in Manchester, where the place was absolutely packed, and had some amazing sets. Damnation has grown organically in size, stature with an ever-growing fanbase over the years, and following a phenomenal response to 2024 they look forward to 2025's edition, a celebration of the 20th year of the festival, marked by two full days of extreme metal carnage.
