More Information
Hellfest (French pronunciation: [ɛlfɛst]), also known as Hellfest Summer Open Air, is a rock festival focusing on heavy metal music, held annually in June in Clisson, France. Its high attendance makes it the French music festival with the largest turnover. It is also one of the biggest metal festivals in Europe and the biggest to exist in France. It has been referred to as "the most diverse extreme metal festival in the world," and is a favorite of many musicians to perform at.
It originated at another music festival, the Fury Fest, held from 2002 to 2005, in different areas of Pays de la Loire. Hellfest took over in 2006 and has seen a continuous rise in visitors over the years, from 22,000 in the first edition to 55,000 tickets sold per day in 2017. In 2022, the seven-day festival featured 350 bands and was attended by 60,000 people per day.
Its programming is primarily focused on hard rock and metal on the two main stages, while each of the four other festival's stages are dedicated to more extreme metal, making the presence of a wide variety of groups possible.
Hellfest succeeded Fury Fest, held in 2002 and 2003 in Clisson and Nantes, respectively, and in 2004 and 2005 in Le Mans.
It is unrelated to the hardcore festival Hellfest, which ran in Syracuse, New York, in the United States from 1997 to 2005 or the Drakkar Productions black metal festival named "Drakkar Hellfest - Darkness and Hate", which took place in 2000 and 2001 in southern France and saw a third edition in 2002 in the Netherlands.
