Hang The Bastard commented on disbanding after the festival:

“After nearly 10 years, thousands of miles and millions of beers, the time has come to end what has been an amazing journey into the world of heaviness.

“We, Hang the Bastard, are thrilled to announce our last show will be at this year’s Damnation Festival.

“Having played before with a mixed line up due to injuries we will play full strength a heavy set to wave good bye for good.”

 

Festival director Gavin McInally commented

“When you regularly see gigs priced at £30, £40 or even £50 a ticket these days, it’s been a minor miracle booking Electric Wizard, Abbath, Cult of Luna and Enslaved, backed by the solid cast of bands below them, for a £38 ticket, but we were confident that if we could make the bill we wanted happen, fans would once again turn out in force to support us.

“With more than half of the tickets gone already and our best sales always in the final weeks, it’s all pointing towards another sell-out and another massively successful Damnation Festival.”

“These final bands deliver the very best in death, doom, black, hardcore, sludge and post-rock the UK has to offer and it’s a privilege to give these acts a suitable stage to showcase their talents.”

 

Tickets, priced just £38, are on sale now via the website and Facebook.
