They changed their dates for 2024, one week later than the previous years. In a recent interview, Ben Barbaud answers a question about a potential big headliner like Rammstein, AC/DC and Metallica. He kinda said it's not gonna be one of them: Metallica came recently, AC/DC isn't really a festival band and Rammstein isn't in their best time (speaking about their singer issues I guess). I'm wondering if they gonna have a surprising/big/different headliner in 2024...

I hope they'll give BMTH an headliner spot. They sold out Bercy last Summer (20k). Their headliners are always so old...

- Headliners: Aerosmith, Avenged Sevenfold, Bring Me The Horizon, Judas Priest, KoRn, Machine Head, Sabaton, System Of A Down, Tool...
- Undercards: Corey Taylor, BabyMetal, Limp Bizkit, Falling In Reverse, Bad Omens, Bruce Dickinson, Sick Of It All, Amorphis, Opeth, Alestorm, Voyager, Bury Tomorrow, Alpha Wolf, Shadow Of Intent, Madball, Fu Manchu...

Surprised to see thisannouncement before any teasing. But sick to see Foo Fighters there as headliners. Queens Of The Stone Age and Royal Blood too. Bad Omens are really high which is a great news. BabyMetal, Nova Twins, Brutus... great start!

Info: Foo Fighters will close the festival on June 30th.

With all the comments I read on Download section about Foo Fighters who don't want to play on metal festivals, this is a great answer. Even if I'm wondering if the festival didn't put the name "Infernopolis" above and bigger "Hellfest" just because of that. Trying to look less metal and more rock'n'roll. I know the festival had rock big bands before but not so many at the same time: Foo's + QOTSA + Royal Blood... Still remember the story about The Prodigy who were supposed to play in 2010 and pull out because of the line-up being too metal... Just sayin'.

HellFest has never been a METAL Festival ; it's an Extreme Music Festival.

So far we only have 24 names, about 160 missing... But considering Nova Rock, Download, RockAmRing are gonna drop more Rock names by early November, HellFest just wanted to give some of their "rock names" before the others. That's all.

OK I havent been following much of the rock / metal front lately, but looking at Hellfest now, its 4 days again? and FF are only first of 4 heads? So which other 3 mega bands are touring next year in that genre?

I cant think of anything now, unless they have SOAD, RATM and similar size stuff.

Can Avenged headline Hellfest ?

Avenged headlined last time they played

i believe two of the other headliners will be them and BMTH, don't know about the fourth one but it will not be anything massive since they already got Foo's

careful lol 😉

Yep Avenged Sevenfold is supposed to be the 2nd headliner actually ; Aerosmith was in very good position to be the 3rd, but Steven Tylers' problems with his voice make it difficult now..

Playing 2 nights like they did at Download (and on this whole tour)? The band is available between Copenhagen on June 16th and Warsaw on July 5th... Zegut often had some good informations, especially so close to the festival's announcement... It would be a huge year once again in terms of big acts. But not my thing...
