Hellfest 2025

[Andrej]

The most disappointing Hellfest, ever ?

Looks like someone (Slayer?) dropped out

If only, but Scorpions yet again with the same boring show, AND 2 other gigs in France that month. Korn raised to headliner. Terrible undercard for all on MS1.

 

No King Diamond at all. Honestly would be much happier with a Slipknot & Maiden repeat.

I would have had a lot of fun with this lineup if I was to attend!

 

Russian Circles, Chat Pile, Thou, Deafheaven, Alcest, Sunn O))), Turnstile, White Ward, Agriculture, Knocked Loose, Have a Nice Life, Kylesa, Vestige, Health, Aluk Todolo, Urne, The Chisel, Gouge Away, Refused.

Weak on the headliners / logo bands, great on the undercard.

Obviously they didn't want to repeat bands, 106 will make their debut in Clisson...but why Scorpions again, I don't understand...

I believe that Barbaud have contacted Slayer and SOAD, but obviously they don't want to come to Europe.

 

In 2026 I expect much much better lineup with some mega headliners...

it's weird... On the one hand, the bill has (almost) everything available that has already been announced at the other festivals. On the other hand though - the lineup feels empty and uninspired, especially in the 4 day context.
Yes, we do hold Hellfest to a higher standard and they deserve it. But with them being in this position (sold out in one hour a year in advance with 0 announced acts and higher priced tickets) we do expect them to pay and fly over exclusive acts... I dunno - Mastodon, Tomahawk, NIN, Bad Omens, and many others.

Refused are the standout on there for me. Great they've announced a UK tour, I just don't have £60 for it currently. Which is likely why going by that price, why none of Trees, Download or Outbreak have them either.
