Damnation Festival 2009 - THERAPY?, ROTTING CHRIST, A STORM OF LIGHT Confirmed
April 10, 2009, 15 years ago
The 2009 edition of the Damnation Festival will be hosted at Leeds University Union in Leeds, England on Saturday, October 24th.
Organizers report:
Northern Irish trio THERAPY? kick-start the lineup for Damnation Festival with a heavy dose of alternative rock.
And they'll be joined by Greek black metallers ROTTING CHRIST - who will appear exclusively at the Leeds-based event - and Josh Graham's doom laden post-metal purveyors A STORM OF LIGHT.
It's an exciting treble coup for UK's finest metal event but only the start of what will be the festival's biggest and most diverse lineup to date."
Festival director Gavin McInally said: "It's a real honour to have Therapy? perform at Damnation Festival, especially in a busy year for band following the release of the excellent Crooked Timber.
"Fans have been demanding Therapy? for a while now and we're delighted to finally be able to oblige with a slot on the Jagermeister Stage."Rotting Christ are another fans' favourite and they've been kind enough to agree to a break from the studio this October to fly over to devastate our Terrorizer Stage.
"And following the massive success of our Rock Sound Stage last year, A Storm of Light are the first band announced to push the aural envelope with their eclectic post-metal rumblings."
Damnation Festival 2009 will take place on Saturday, October 24th at Leeds University Union, across three stages with doors opening at the earlier time of 1 PM through until 3 AM.
Details of tickets will be announced soon.
