News: Details announced for new metal festival Dominion Festival for July in Durham; bands featured include Cradle of Filth, Sodom and Acid Reign

“A cold Wind was blowing from the north, and it made the trees rustle like living things” George R.R. Martin.

Fast forward to July 2022 and there will be more than trees rustling when a new behemoth of a festival rolls into Northern England. Set within the backdrop of Ushaw Historic House, Chapels and Gardens, Dominion will bring Metal and Hard Rock to 5,000 for a weekend of fantastic music, atmosphere, and people. Spanning across 3 days and 2 stages, 42 bands will help carve open the UK festival scene and put the Dominion marker down as the Premier Metal Festival for the North Of England. Headliners Cradle Of Filth and Blind Guardian (with one still to be announced) sit alongside established household names such as Sodom, Acid Reign, Onslaught and Ingested as well as growing stalwarts Svalbard and Evil Scarecrow with many more bands to be announced very soon. Dominion is a mouth-watering prospect for any self-respecting fan of the harder and heavier side of the musical spectrum. Early bird weekend tickets are available now so grab yours now to avoid disappointment.
