666 : Damnation 2026 Headliners Announced!

Expectation inevitably results in disappointment. How many times has an event promised you the greatest lineup ever, only to then present you with a couple of reunions nobody wanted, three outfits with only the original drummer left and their mates' brother's band? It is very easy to talk up your ambition, it is more difficult to land something that fulfils those words. Damnation Festival has made cutting through the bullshit its USP. It doesn't want to be another event with an expensive headliner and a makeshift “that will do” undercard.

666 : Dynamic pricing. The Future or Pure Farce?

Currently, you can get a ticket on Ticketmaster for Slipknot’s much anticipated 25th anniversary tour for around £220. That’s not a VIP ticket or a resale one, that is a bog-standard ticket. This is because of a phenomenon known as dynamic pricing. They didn’t begin life at £220. They started at a much more palatable (but still high) £70 but as the “maggots” (who know must all be in middle-aged well paid IT jobs) swarmed over the tickets they steadily increased in value as their scarcity increased.
