In 2023, the festival will take place in 1 weekend of 4 days for the first time (Knotfest in 2019 isn't counting). Curious to see what they'll got this time...

Some ideas for the main names...

THURSDAY
MS1: Rage Against The Machine - Lamb Of God - Mass Hysteria. 
MS2: Within Temptation - Evanescence - Sum 41.

FRIDAY
MS1: SlipKnot - KoRn - Trivium.
MS2: Faith No More - Tenacious D - Yungblud.

SATURDAY
MS1: Ozzy Osbourne - Judas Priest - Alter Bridge.
MS2: Avenged Sevenfold - Arch Enemy - In Flames. 

SUNDAY:
MS1: Mötley Crüe - Def Leppard - Poison.
MS2: Parkway Drive - Amon Amarth - Architects.

QOTSA and Disturbed could be possible for this.

Indeed, I wanna say Disturbed instead of KoRn! They were in Europe this Summer. QOTSA would be great too, instead of Ozzy/Priest...

Thursday could be AC/DC if not RATM

It's a better game to guess who won't be playing hellfest

Both games will be fun this time. This year, with the 7 days, they got almost everything indeed. They gonna have to make some choices for 2023, even with a 4th day! I prefer guess who's coming 🙂 

[cristyflorin]

Def Leppard. Motley Crue. Hollywood Vampires. Ugh, retirees fest at mainstage. Leaked by Zegut so 99% confirmed.

[lighthouse]

The RATM reunion seems to be over… 

[Andrej]

Unfortunately this RATM post today suggests that 2023 is definitely off, and 2024 could be the earliest they are back on stage.

[SweetJesus]

RATM are DEAD. Please give us back Prophets of Rage!

[Archi]

Didn't see it coming... Maybe they'll have Machine Head for the first day as the band could be back on festivals... seems cheap but they had Deftones this year...

Yup, Hellfest shaped hole before Switzerland, haven't been since 2018. Very likely. Poster mid to late Nov.

[SweetJesus]

As expected, sold out in less than 3 hours

[Vashy]

We can lock Parkway Drive in, I got confirmation on that. I’ll add Ozzy in some form, Pantera and Rammstein all in some sort of headliner capacity. Chuck in Mudvayne, Mr Bungle, Machine Head, Amon Amarth, Dimmu Borgir and Hollywood Vampires 

[SweetJesus]

Rammstein? Only stadium tour.

found, not sure if only wishlist (Maiden and the Motley & co are nailed on though)

The colour scheme looks right, and the Hellfest poster did leak early last year and everyone dismissed it thinking it looked far too stacked but I’d be surprised if that’s real.
 

Me being me will definitely have everything crossed that AC/DC are in the mix for festivals next year now though

[Andrej]

Will be very interesting to see which festivals AC/DC choose to play, since they can get more money by simply doing stadiums or massive fields themselves.

[Archi]

Curious to see if it's real or not... If AC/DC weren't on it, I'd have zero doubt as the rest were all in the rumors. Iron Maiden is the only big band the Hellfest didn't get in 2022 and the band hasn't any shows booked in France and has a gap between 13 and 19 June... It this line-up is real, it could mean Avenged Sevenfold won't tour next Summer.

Thursday
MS1 AC/DC
MS2 Hollywood Vampires

Friday
MS1 Iron Maiden
MS2 Parkway Drive

Saturday
MS1 Mötley Crüe
MS2 Def Leppard

Sunday
MS1 SlipKnot
MS2 Pantera

Lineup tomorrow 7pm
