Quote:
Damnation Festival is the product of a group dedicated music lovers who were fed up with watered down pop-rock taking the place of home-grown heavy metal talent on stages across the UK.
You'll often hear the promotional machine banging the drum that this is an event is "for the fans, by the fans" - but it can't be put any simpler than that.
There’s no agenda or grand money-making scheme behind Damnation Festival, just a goal to host a day of heavy music worth stripping to the waist and rubbing against sweaty headbangers for!
