We'll probably be charging £50 less for a t-shirt than Manowar will.

I'm not even kidding. They were selling t-shirts for 40euros when they played Hellfest in 2009!

Once again:

One less XL hoodie for sale.

And I know this sounds like a lame sales thing, but stock is limited.
Didn't seem worth ordering tons when the sales were weak last month.

You can stroll around telling your pals that you've got a large Damnation hoodie, one of only fifty ever made. They probably won't be interested in the slightest but do it any way!

I would, but I really can't pull off the too big bloke fit t-shirt look these days.

Will be missing the pre-show too as not training it up until the saturday morning. Hopefully won't be as busy as those Friday night trains out of Kings Cross, not looking forward to an early start on a weekend though!

You'll all be happy to know that the times have been re-done. This does mean that Dev and Ulver directly clash (you can see bits of both!), but Dev now has a full 90min set!

Still too clashy I'm afraid, total shame. I'm sure Dev's set will be as brilliant as ever.

Not just the headliners! I'd like to see Amplifier, Godflesh and Decapitated :\

I've gotta agree with this, all the bands I want to see clash with one another!

Ah damn.
I was hoping there'd be at least a little bit of Ulver and Devy that wouldn't clash, even if it were only 15mins.
I prefered the old stage times.

Aye, I'm a bigger fan of the older ones, but now more of the bands that need exposure have it.

Talking to my pal of South America, I've learned not to bitch about these things (too much) as an event like this is unheard of in his part of the world. They'll go nuts for the likes of Motorhead, a band we're can catch the same time each year.

Little under two weeks to go!

I'll be dropping off some info on meet & greets/signing session info soon. I believe that Dev and Ulver are on the list but I'll post a solid one when I know of it.

New stage times = Before I set out to see a little bit of GIAA, all of Ulver and then enjoy a fair bit of Devin until closing time... I didn't even notice the smaller bands clashing before! Now probably 10 mins of GIAA, 20 DTP. Why did the times change?

Nearly all the bands i'm going to see are on the Jager stage so i'm good, no clashes for me, i'm going for Xerath-Turisas-Evile-Decapitated(Terrorizer Stage)-DTP and they all have gaps in-between so i can grab food and shiz

One week today! Damnation!
Two weeks today! Deconstruction!

The sexy pre-ordered merch was sent out yesterday. Some lucky folk should be getting their hoodies/t-shirts come Monday.

Right folks. I'm pretty much off to this shin-dig now. Seeing The Melvins in London tonight then heading up to Leeds come Friday morning.
Travel safe, buy a t-shirt, eat food from Deli-Kate (she's doing a special Damnation burger).

Things to do in Leeds:
Damnation
The Dry Dock (it's a pub that's a ship!)
I hear there's a good sushi bar called Little China or something like that in the city centre
That is all.

Meet & greet info will be up at the fest. Chance to win some Opeth goodies at the after show. Bound to be some other cool shit I've not been told about.

Enjoy!

Last minute news:

Decapitated have had to pull out due to their plane crash landing in Poland. No one was seriously hurt but they'll be unable to play their next two dates, including Damnation. The lovely folk from Ulver have agreed to extend their set time to 90mins.
