A very tempting line-up so far and still 13 bands TBA. A lot for 1-day festival though.

Yeah, not fussed about the top bands, but RLHT, Esoteric, YONL, Morne, Bossk is a hell of a middle order. Depending on what else gets booked I may well go

When you consider most of those bands are about £20 for their own shows it's quite a bargain.

Depending on the state of things next year I may well look into going.

I would respectfully disagree about the cost, you really get your moneys worth with Damnation. 4 stages of quality bands. Yet another great lineup for next year. Some great bands I've not seen live before, and some I'm excited to see again. After missing out this year, 2021 will be special. Looking forward to getting my 2005-2020 anniversary hoodie as well

OK, I will agree it will seem a lot when compared with other European festivals. However, for an English festival with known names, it ain't bad. Gigging isn't cheap here :'(

In Scandi all are much esxpenice , but same time, whit Brexit you might lost international fans

Festival is not just a ticket price, its road, food, sleep.
Road . fuel up car costs, trains, airplains costs.
Hmmm to me Sweden rock, ticket hmm sek 1500. Fuel to car sek 1000-1500.
If I go by plain sek 2000 one way. Food , booze sek 1000. Hotel well count sek 1500 per night or more. sek 5000 for some festival, Its expensive as fuck.

Elder and High Command were added to the lineup recently. Obviously things are still very up in the air. However, it's a long way off. They suggested they may hold an official Friday (day before) show as well if all goes well. So, if it happens it's going to be a great weekend in Leeds!

Hellripper and Dysrhythmia were added to the lineup at the start of the month. Tickets have been selling very well since the government announced their roadmap out of lockdown.

Incantation, Abigail Williams and Vale of Pnath have cancelled.

Ouch. Esoteric, Blood Witch, and Godflesh would still be worth it for me though.

Seriously disappointed about Incantation in particular, Troy. I know they're not the same band they were back in the day but they're still one of my favourite artists.

Still, it'll be interesting to see the replacements and I'm still mostly looking forward to seeing Esoteric, Blood Incantation, Hellripper, Memoriam, Dvne and Green Lung.

First time I've been to a gig solo, so that'll be interesting...

Unfortunately, all US artists have cancelled due to Covid - replacements are pretty decent though - including Carcass and Paradise Lost.

What I'm not entirely sure about is Carcass - first of all the poster states it is their only UK show but they're supposed to be supporting Behemoth and Arch Enemy.

Also, they're playing Copenhagen on 6/11 - I suppose the band could get a flight to the UK after their set but surely it's pushing it! They could hire gear I suppose....

Understandable. Even though I don't hold them in the same regard as some of their more ardent fans, I'd still be among the first to purchase a ticket if they were to perform nearby if only to support their legend. I mean it's Incantation.
