Damnation Festival has announced the first wave for 2027. The two-day event returns to Manchester's BEC Arena on 6–7 November 2027.
Zeal & Ardor leads the opening bill. Black Breath returns after an extended absence, joined by Bell Witch, Cult Leader, Dimscûa, Lamp of Murmuur, Million Moons, Panopticon, Pestilence, Rome, The Red Chord, Together to the Stars, Unsane and Unverkalt.
Special sets, but not a complete timetable
Bell Witch will perform Mirror Reaper in full in connection with the album's tenth anniversary. That is a specific programme element, not a generic concert promise.
The official lineup and ticket pages are active, but the day split and exact stage times are not complete. Travel can be built around the confirmed dates and venue, not yet around individual set times.
Reader and business value
A rare return and an album-focused set create strong destination value for extreme-music fans. For travel and accommodation partners serving Manchester, this is an early demand signal, but the incomplete programme and missing capacity data do not justify a sales forecast.
Summary
Damnation Festival runs at Manchester's BEC Arena on 6–7 November 2027. Zeal & Ardor leads the first wave, Black Breath returns and Bell Witch plays Mirror Reaper in full.
