Damnation Festival has sold out ahead of its tenth anniversary celebrations this coming weekend.With a killer line up that boasts the likes of Bolt Thrower, Cannibal Corpse, Ahab, Fen, Revocation, Monarch, and Anaal Nathrakh, ticket sales have been strong since the first announcement. However, in an ever changing festival climate, a sell out crowd is never a given, and Damnation's organisers are extremely pleased to announce this advance ticket sell out. Just 50 tickets will be made available for purchase on the day, Saturday November 1st, at Leeds University Student Union.
Damnation Festival organiser, Gavin McInally commented:"Thank you to all the fans who bought tickets early and showed their support from the word go, right the way through to the fans that snapped up the last online tickets - we're really grateful that you see the same thing that we do in this incredible line up. We will have a limited number of tickets for sale on Saturday, in an effort to discourage people from buying from touts, and also to appease those who already planned their entire weekend - minus the tickets! If you want them, get down early!"Running times for the four stages have been announced and can be viewed below or accessed via the Damnation Festival Facebook page.
