If youโre heading to Damnation Festival in Manchester this Sunday, brace yourself โ the cityโs throwing more than just metal riffs into the mix. ๐
While thousands of black-clad fans will be descending on the city ready to unleash chaos in the name of riffs, breakdowns, and blast beats, the Manchester tram network has decided to join the party โ by not showing up through St Peterโs Square! ๐ญ
Yep, you read that right. From 10am to 1pm, no trams will run through St Peterโs Square because of a parade marching through the heart of the city. Expect horns, floats, and a few confused metalheads trying to find the nearest pint while Google Maps melts down. ๐ป
So, whatโs a smart metal fan to do? ๐ค
๐ฏ Your best move:
Hop on a train from Manchester Piccadilly to Deansgate instead. Itโs fast, reliable, and gets you much closer to the venue action without having to fight through parade crowds or wait endlessly for trams that arenโt coming.
๐บ๏ธ Bonus Tip:
If youโre arriving early, swing by one of the cityโs proper rock pubs โ Grand Central, Satanโs Hollow, or The Salisbury โ all top spots to pre-game with fellow Damnation disciples. ๐บ
๐ In short:
- ๐ No trams through St Peterโs Square (10amโ1pm)
- ๐ Use Piccadilly โ Deansgate train route
- ๐ป Hit the pubs, avoid the parade, and save your energy for the pit
Because nothing kills a metal mood faster than missing your first band thanks to a marching band in the streets. ๐ค
See you in the chaos, butt โ and may your neck survive the day! ๐ฅ๐๐ฅ
