Brujeria, Immolation to headline Deathfest 2010

United Kingdom | 12 January 2010

Extreme Mexican metallers Brujeria and New York death veterans Immolation have been confirmed as headliners for this year's Deathfest.

Brummie grind/black/punk purveyors Fukpig, northern death metallers Dawn Of Chaos and the heavy doom group Volition will also play the Leeds event.

Speaking about the announcement Deathfest director Gavin McInally said: "It's a great double coup landing both Brujeria and Immolation to headline our second Deathfest and we're sure they'll provide a suitable soundtrack to the chaos which will undoubtedly unfold in Leeds this May.

"Putting festival tickets on sale for less than most gigs is a first class lesson in financial suicide, but it's important that money, or the lack of it, isn't a reason to stop fans getting along to Deathfest and if we can pack the venue again, it'll be a gamble worth taking.

"Similar to last year, we'll have a main stage, again sponsored by Terrorizer magazine, which will be dominated by death metal from home and abroad.

"And to break the tempo up and offer a little diversity over the course of the day, we'll have a selection of doom, black, grind and filthy noise on the second PHD Stage.

"So grab a ticket while they're dirt cheap, grab a hotel room while they're dirt cheap and come along for a first class day of extreme metal!"

Early bird tickets are on sale now priced at just £10 before they increase to £19.50 on 1 February.
