7 November 2026, this year's edition promises an unmissable lineup of established acts and emerging talent, making it essential viewing for anyone serious about heavy music in the North West. With tickets ranging from £85 to £160, it's a premium experience that delivers genuine value across a packed festival schedule.
The BEC Arena in Manchester's vibrant events quarter provides the perfect setting for Damnation's intense, high-energy atmosphere. Located in the heart of the city, the venue is easily accessible and surrounded by excellent transport links, plus plenty of bars and food spots for pre and post-festival socialising. The arena's excellent acoustics and capacity make it ideal for the scale and ambition Damnation brings year after year.
Getting to the BEC is straightforward via Metrolink or train to Piccadilly, with regular buses serving the area too. Arrive early to soak in the festival vibe, explore the merch stalls, and grab food before the music kicks off at 11:00am. Note the 14+ age restriction applies, so younger metalheads will need to bring an adult—perfect for introducing the next generation to live heavy music.Browse more Music events in Manchester.
