Dominion Festival is a brand new 3-day festival showcasing metal, heavy metal and hard rock bands, set in the stunning surroundings of Ushaw Historic House, Chapels and Gardens. This 5000-capacity festival takes place from Friday 29th to Sunday 31st July and is delivered by a team of highly experienced, local festival promoters from the Northeast.
With 42 bands set over two stages including exclusive headliners Cradle of Filth and Blind Guardian, Dominion is THE place for metal and rock fans to gather to see the best live music of the genre. Dominion Festival is putting its marker down as the premier metal festival for the North of England.
The first stage consists of acts like Sodom, Phil Campbell and The Bastard Sons, Hamatom, INME, HBH, Evil Scarecrow, Raging Speedhorn, Thecityisours, Discharge, King Creature, Girlschool, Svalbard, As December Falls, Mother Vulture, The Dust Coda, South of Salem, it’s hard to argue this is going to be an incredible festival!
“Since Sonisphere left the UK in 2011, we have bemoaned the lack of a large-scale festival showcasing metal from across the spectrum,” says Operations Director, Alex. “There are some fantastic specialist events out there but nothing with the breadth and variety that the genre truly has to offer. Working with a variety of partners and other local promoters, we’re aiming to put the Northeast truly back on the metal map with this open-air event which can grow to become the regional home of everything hard and fast!”
Additionally, the second stage features Onslaught, Acid Reign, Blood Youth, Street Soldier, The Lunar Process, and more.
