Carcass To Headline The UKâ€™s Damnation Festival 2008

Reunited grindcore/death metal legends CARCASSS will play their only UK date headlining the Damnation Festival 2008. The death metal legends will perform their first show on home soil in 14 years on Saturday, November 22nd at Leeds University. And the band yesterday hinted it could be the last show they ever play, wrapping up a successful reunion tour headlining some of the biggest metal stages across the globe.

Frontman Jeff Walker said: â€œWell, we enjoyed making you sweatâ€¦ this is gonna be the ONLY UK show this year, and quite possibly your last chance to EVER catch us live! You Southerners are gonna have to get your shoes dirty and make your way â€˜oopâ€™ North to Leeds! To quote Herschell Gordon Lewis â€˜Prepare To Die!â€™â€

Damnation Festival director Gavin McInally added: â€œThe exclusive booking of CARCASS is the biggest coup in British metal in 2008 and weâ€™re delighted to host their return to home soil. The fact that it could be the last time they ever take the stage together, makes the prospect of seeing them headline Damnation even more special. After a 14-year break, itâ€™s almost impossible to predict just how large the demands for tickets will be, so without the cheesy sales pitch, pawn your wedding ring or steal from close friends - just make sure you grab a brief! And stayed tuned for further announcements as the finest, doom, grind, black, rock and heavy metal completes what will be the finest day of music the UK will witness in 2008.â€

Tickets for Damnation will go on sale this Friday, June 27th at 9am. For more information, you can check here.

I have a feeling this will be part of a string of UK dates. London Astoria ftw.

you could always buy a ticket and then sell it on ebay. this fest sells out every year so you'd probably be able to sell it if they do announce another date.
