Cult Of Luna to play UK exclusive show at Damnation 2016
Swedish post-metal outfit Cult Of Luna will perform Mariner album with Julie Christmas at Leeds all-dayer

Cult Of Luna will perform a UK exclusive show at Damnation Festival in Leeds on November 5.
The post-metal outfit reveal they’ll perform their latest studio effort Mariner with singer Julie Christmas – who worked with them on the record – in a one-off performance at Leeds University Union.
Vocalist and guitarist Johannes Persson says: “The stars have aligned perfectly and I am going to have take back what I’ve repeated in numerous interviews this past year – that Mariner will not be played live, because it will. There are no plans to perform the album live in the UK again.”
