The 2010 Damnation Festival is scheduled for November 6th at Leeds University Union in Leeds, England.

Organizers have issued the following update:

Experimental doom titans ESOTERIC and globe-trotting metal veterans PANIC CELL will help fly the UK flag at this year’s Damnation Festival.

They’ll be joined by Scottish old-school death metallers BONESAW, Brighton's progressive rockers THE MIRE and the recent winners of the Rock Sound and Terrorizer stage competitions; THE CONSTRUCT, COLONEL BLAST and DIASCORIUM.

The new additions join an eclectic three-stage bill in Leeds University Union, on Saturday, November 6th, which includes THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, PARADISE LOST, ANAAL NATHRAKH, ALCEST, LAWNMOWER DETH and ROLO TOMASSI.

Festival Director Gavin McInally said: “The booking of Esoteric has been a long time coming and it’s a pleasure to finally have the highly respected doom outfit at Damnation while a Jager drenched evening with Panic Cell is a highlight of any festival. It's great to have those boys back in the UK after playing with the likes of METALLICA, ALICE COOPER and SLAYER earlier this year.

“Despite hailing from the dizzy heights of Aberdeen, Bonesaw have been sending shock waves through the UK’s extreme metal scene so it’s only right they bring their old-school death metal noise to our Terrorizer Stage while The Mire are expected to set the progressive metal bar high with their Rock Sound Stage outing."

Meanwhile, the submissions for the final opening slot competition on the Jagermeister Stage are now open. Fans can make suggestions via the official forums, Myspace, Facebook or Twitter and a shortlist will be announced on Monday, September 20th, before a seven day voting frenzy takes place to decide a winner.
