“Headlining the doom stage is an honour and a great birthday present for us!”
Solstafir revealed they are "stoked" to be part of Damnation's tenth anniversary show: "We picked Damnation Festival for our debut UK festival performance, after countless offers from other UK festival promoters, so what better way to celebrate Damnation's 10th anniversary than joining us in Leeds?
"And you even get to see Bolt Thrower. We're stoked"
JimBob of H A R K added: "Damnation has to be one the UK's best festivals, so we're over the moon to be added to such a great lineup. We've been taking 'Crystalline' out all across Europe since its release, and can't wait to show the amazing Damnation crowd what we've got. This will be a great day."
