Life Of Agony have been announced as headliners for October's one day Damnation Festival.

The New York crossover legends have been confirmed as headliners for the Jagermeister Stage at this year's Damnation Festival with an exclusive performance.

The group will bring their emotional blend of heavy rock and alternative metal to the UK for the first time since their sold-out show at London's Koko in 2005 following a series of dates headlining festivals across Europe.

Festival Director Gavin McInally added, "Landing a headliner of Life of Agony's stature is a major coup and the fact it's the first time they'll play the UK in four years, makes it all the more special. After playing some off the biggest and most respected rock and metal events across Europe this summer, they'll fly in from New York for this one-off performance and we're delighted to host what is sure to be a special show."
Damnation Festival is a one-day indoor metal event held over three stages at the University of Leeds Union and happening on Saturday 24th October.

The line-up includes the previously confirmed Life of Agony, Lock Up, Therapy?, Destruction, Electric Wizard, Jesu, Rotting Christ, This Will Destroy You, Akercocke, A Storm of Light, Mistress, Negura Bunget, Minsk, Extreme Noise Terror, Manatees, The Gates of Slumber, And So I Watch You From Afar, Charger, Stand-Up Guy, and Rinoa with more bands to be announced.

Tickets are on sale priced at £29.50. To buy tickets, click here.
