KREATOR, AMEN, 1349 Confirmed For U.K.'s DAMNATION FESTIVAL

May 9, 2007

German thrash kings KREATOR will headline this year's Damnation Festival, set to take place Saturday, October 20 at Leeds Metropolitan University, England. The festival billing is shaping up as follows:

KREATOR
AMEN
1349
ABORTED
KATAKLYSM
ORANGE GOBLIN

12 more bands will be announced during the coming months.

Tickets for Damnation Festival 2007 will go on sale on Monday, May 14 at 9:00 a.m. They will be priced at 19.50 GPB until Monday, June 11 and 22 GPB thereafter and will be available through Seetickets.com or Ticketline.co.uk. And in person at Manchester's Piccadilly Box Office and Liverpool's Radio City Box Office.

Festival spokesman Gavin McInally said: "There's nothing in the country that will buy you more pleasure for that price, not even in Soho!

"To have a band like KREATOR — who grace main stages at some of the world's biggest festivals — play at Damnation is pretty special and with the likes of AMEN coming across for their first U.K. show in years, the Jagermeister Stage will be a bill which is second to none.

"As for the Terrorizer Stage, the triple headline bill of ABORTED, 1349 and KATAKLYSM is just the beginning of how ugly and extreme it is going to get throughout the day. It's also great to land ORANGE GOBLIN, our fans have been patient in their wait for some quality doom at Damnation, and we're glad to finally oblige.

"As a thanks for all their support, cheap 'early bird' style tickets will be on sale for a month, after that we'll be forced to bump the prices up a few pounds to stay in business!

"Our community means everything to this festival and we hope Damnation Festival 2007 does them proud. Genuinely by the fans for the fans!"

ABORTED frontman Sven de Caluwé said: "It's been in the pipelines for way too long and we are glad to announce to our U.K. fans out there that we ARE coming over in October on tour and are thrilled to be booked on the Damnation Festival in Leeds. Hopefully we'll see a lot of you guys out there and get pissed! This should be a good dose of fun since these will be the first U.K. dates with Danny boy."
