Damnation Festival 2026 complete the line up for what will be a huge celebration of extreme music across all genres and boundaries.
LINE UP? COMPLETED IT.
Following on from previous announcements slowly revealing the bill for Damnation Festival 2026, the festival is on course to sell out. Is it any wonder with the calibre of act on show?
Sugar Horse and Shining are the final two bands to complete the bill. Two days, three stages, a whopping forty six bands.
As previously noted (here), Damnation have gone all out for some big names in the metal sphere. Black metal legends Satyricon will be a phenomenal experience and having previously see Igorrr (click here), we know that this will be spectacular.

TOP OF THE BILL
The top of the bill reads like a who’s who of heavy metal. Carcass, Crowbar, Cult Of Luna, Eyehategod and Triptykon; legends all.
Then, there are acts like Health and industrial death metallers, The Berzerker, returning after nearly two decades away for their only European show this year.
Another name in the upper reaches of the bill are Wolves In The Throne room. Having recently played a handful of shows in Scotland, WITTR will play Damnation Festival with, probably, a heavy dose of their forthcoming album in the set.

THE SUPPORTING CAST
Danish blackgaze outfit MØL return as well as Belgium based Slow Crush who supported Cult Of Luna a few years back. Black metal is the order of things with Groza who we witnessed at Fortress Festival 2026. Another Fortress alumni are Dödsrit, who played a ferocious set at the 2025 iteration.
We recently caught Final Dose supporting Spectral Wound in Manchester; they will bring an oppressive, industrial, punk vibe to proceedings. Another standout will be Worm who will bring their latest record and a bag of ‘necromantic black doom’ to the party.
