The big review: Fortress Festival 2024
None more black! Scarborough falls under a dark spell as Triptykon, Wolves In The Throne Room, Blackbraid and more bring two days of black metal madness to Fortress Fest…
They join Eyehategod, Pig Destroyer and Walls Of Jericho at Europe’s biggest indoor metal jamboree at Manchester BEC in November.
Following the recent announcement of Eyehategod, Walls Of Jericho, Pig Destroyer and over a dozen more, Damnation Festival have now added LA cum-metal heroes HEALTH, USBM legends Wolves In The Throne Room and Danish metallic hardcore crew EYES to their stacked bill.
“We’re delighted to welcome the exceptional HEALTH and blistering live energy of EYES to Damnation for the first time, and the return of the stunning Wolves In The Throne Room.
“The trio complement an eclectic mix of artists, from Walls Of Jericho to Eyehategod, as we continue to stack this year’s line-up with the most exciting live bands we can get our hands on.
“With more than half the tickets gone already, we are looking forward to hosting another Damnation for the history books this November.”
Also on the bill for this year's event are Benediction, Slow Crush, Holy Fawn, Cabal, Rwake, Ultha, Dodsrit, Lamp Of Murmuur, The Moth Gatherer, Fange, Black Sheep Wall and Intercourse, as well as special reunion sets from British underground legends Gorerotted and Medulla Nocte. And we're not even halfway there, with 29 more bands yet to be named, including all six stage headliners.
Damnation Festival takes place at Manchester’s Bowlers Exhibition Centre from November 7-8.
