Loucifer Speaks » Dillinger Escape Plan

Sabbat and Discharge added to Damnation Line Up

Loucifer — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 20:39:02 +0000

HARDCORE punk legends DISCHARGE and UK thrash titans SABBAT are the latest additions to the sixth chapter of Damnation Festival.

The crust veterans will headline the Terrorizer Stage while Sabbat will perform on the Jagermeister Stage.

The Dillinger Escape Plan and Paradise Lost will now co-headline the downsized event, which takes place on Saturday, November 6, in Leeds University Union.

Festival Director Gavin McInally said:

“It’s no secret we’ve had a tough year of it so being able to confirm two top acts like Discharge and Sabbat is a real pleasure.

“Aside from the Jagermeister Stage competition and perhaps another smaller band on the Terrorizer Stage, the bill is pretty much complete for this year and despite the lack of an exclusive headliner we’re delighted to once again put together a three stage line-up we’re immensely proud of.

“Rare showings from the likes of Lawnmower Deth, Fukpig, the return of Earthtone9, exclusive performances by Alcest, Anaal Nathrakh as well as the aforementioned talent of DEP, Paradise Lost, Sabbat and Discharge – 2010 is going to be a blinder.”

Announced for Damnation Festival 2010: The Dillinger Escape Plan, Paradise Lost, Discharge, Earthtone9, Sabbat, Anaal Nathrakh, Lawnmower Deth, Rolo Tomassi, Panic Cell, Alcest, The Ocean, Esoteric, SSS, Hecate Enthroned, Fen, Maybeshewill, October File, Bonesaw, Fukpig, The Mire, Colonel Blast, The Construct and Diascorium.

Tickets are priced £27 and are available from:

Damnation Festival – ANOTHER line-up announcement!

The folks at Damnation Fest are really spoiling us…

GOTHIC metallers PARADISE LOST head up the latest additions to Damnation Festival.

The genre-spanning Halifax quintet will bring their blend of atmospheric doom to the main Jagermeister Stage at Leeds University Union, on Saturday, November 6, 2010.

And they’ll be joined by German progressive metallers THE OCEAN, rising post-rock trio MAYBESHEWILL and the politically inspired industrial overtones of OCTOBER FILE.

With The Dillinger Escape Plan, Earthtone9, Anaal Nathrakh, Lawnmower Deth and Alcest among the names already confirmed for the sixth edition of Damnation Festival, the event is shaping up to be the most vital date on the metal calendar.

Paradise Lost vocalist Nick Holmes last night revealed the band are looking forward to taking the stage in Leeds, if not negotiating the roads network.

He said:

It’s fantastic to be playing at the Damnation Festival, and we hope to see you all there.

I never got my head around the one way system in Leeds, thankfully someone else will be driving so we should arrive on time!

Festival Director Gavin McInally added:

Following the triumphant performances by My Dying Bride and Anathema in recent years, it’s fitting to have Paradise Lost complete the final piece of the Unholy Trinity at Damnation.

We are also delighted to announce The Ocean, Maybeshewill and October File for what will be another vital bill on our Rock Sound Stage this year.

Damnation Festival will take place on Saturday, November 6 at Leeds University Union.

Announced so far: The Dillinger Escape Plan, Paradise Lost, Earthtone9, Anaal Nathrakh, Lawnmower Deth, Rolo Tomassi, Alcest, The Ocean, SSS, Hecate Enthroned, Fen, Maybeshewill, October File and Fukpig.

Damnation Festival Line-Up Announcement

Loucifer — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 18:34:36 +0000

THE legendary LAWNMOWER DETH and rising crossover Scousers S.S.S. will bring the thrash to Damnation Festival 2010.

While representing the finest homegrown black metal at the sixth instalment of the Leeds-based event are HECTATE ENTHRONED and FEN.

Festival Director Gavin McInally said:

Anyone who witnessed Lawnmower Deth’s fantastic set at Download last month can look forward to a second helping of good-old thrash fun at Damnation while S.S.S. are sure to live up to their moniker and provide a short, sharp, shock for the thrash fans who’ve enjoyed sets by the likes of Onslaught, Kreator and Evile over the years.

And for those who prefer their music more grim, it’s a pleasure to be able to announce Hectate Enthroned and Fen who’ll deliver their distinctive takes on black metal this year.

The latest additions mark another diverse lineup for Damnation Festival, adding to stages already bursting with the best in extreme, progressive and alternative talent such as The Dillinger Escape Plan, Anaal Nathrakh, Earthtone9 and Alcest.

Damnation Festival will take place on Saturday, November 6 at Leeds University Union.

Announced so far: The Dillinger Escape Plan, Earthtone9, Anaal Nathrakh, Lawnmower Death, Rolo Tomassi, SSS, Hecate Enthroned, Alcest, Fen and Fukpig.

Dillinger Escape Plan for Damnation Festival

Loucifer — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 09:22:06 +0000

Mathcore pioneers *THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN* are the second band to be announced for this year’s Damnation Festival. The frenetic five-piece will bring their devastating live performance to Leeds University Union, on *Saturday, November 6, 2010.

The Dillinger Escape Plan are the second name to be confirmed for the sixth instalment of the UK’s premier metal event with British metallers Earthtone9 announced last week. Festival director Gavin McInally said:

With their blistering, uncompromising live performance it’s hard to think of many bands more suited to take the stage at Damnation Festival than The Dillinger Escape Plan.

It’s often said that bands are going to tear apart a stage but with The Dillinger Escape Plan it’s rarely a figure of speech. Their set at Damnation is sure to be explosive.

After promising early ticket sales, the £19 limited ticket offer will come to an end in one week, Friday, June 18. To grab an early bird ticket before the prices raise, visit:
