Jesu will headline the Rock Sound Stage at October's one day Damnation Festival.

Experimental metallers Jesu are joined on the bill by new additions Belfast post-rock outfit And So I Watch You From Afar, and post-metallers Rinoa.

Rock Sound editor Darren Taylor said: "We're psyched about this year's line-up on the Rock Sound stage - Damnation and Rock Sound have brought together some of the most innovative and exciting bands you'll see playing on the same stage. We've been long-term fans of Jesu, so it's an honour to have them headline our stage this year."

Festival Director Gavin McInally added, "It's no secret we've wanted Jesu at Damnation for years so it's fitting that they are finally available to headline our strongest yet Rock Sound stage which is crammed with experimental rock and metal talent... With this year's solid line-up the Rock Sound Stage is an event in its own right and we're sure that for many fans it will be the place to be all day."
Damnation Festival is a one-day indoor metal event held over three stages at the University of Leeds Union and happening on Saturday 24th October.

The line-up includes the previously confirmed Therapy?, Destruction, Rotting Christ, This Will Destroy You, Akercocke, A Storm of Light, Mistress, Negura Bunget, Minsk, Extreme Noise Terror, Manatees, Charger, and Stand-Up Guy with more bands to be announced.
