- The biggest (and best?) Damnation ever is in the books and Gav, James and guest star Paul are here to tell you all about it, from showering during a soundcheck, projecting into fog, unbelievable acts of kindness… and almost choking to death on a Pot Noodle.
Oh, and there’s bands.

We go again, every Thursday morning. - Damnation is so nearly here, we can smell the BEC. Gav is smashing out the last few bits and James is definitely not helping him (he’s actively adding to the workload)
So come get hyped for a weekend of face melting metal!!
There’s all 18 new ATG bands discussed just to get you excited for next August too.

We go again, every Thursday morning. - At 44 years old, Gav is handed his first ‘report card’ since high school in the shape of a “Damnation 2026 Performance Review” he didn’t ask for.
So how did he fare? Why don’t women and his fellow Scots love his festival? Why are profits down when revenue is up and what can he do about it in 2027?
It’s all in the pie charts, graphs and percentages, apparently.

We go again, every Thursday morning. - The Production Manager, an almost mythical creature found back stage stressing about about “patch” engineers and impossible changeover times.
Who are they and why are they so important to the running of our events?
Thankfully, Marios of Damnation, Outbreak and Radar fame is in hand to attempt to explain it all, from “recharges” and “dead spots” to risking his life for the game.
Pay attention.
