To celebrate its 20th edition, Hellfest is going outrageously big. From June 17 to 20, 2027 in Clisson, France, the « Absolute Edition » will grow from 170 to 300 bands and from six to ten stages: alongside Mainstage 1 and 2, Warzone, Valley, Altar and Temple will come Riot, Abyss, Forge and Crypt.

An outsized format that cements the Loire-side festival’s status as France’s biggest metal gathering, and one of the largest in the world. The lineup will be revealed in waves over the coming months. Source: Rock Sound.
