Hellfest Festival - A New Hope
HELLFEST FESTIVAL - A NEW HOPE
Finally after two years plus of being starved of live experiences and long weekends of music, we have back one of the true giants of the European Festivals. Hellfest 2022 based at the postcard-perfect French village of Clisson, known for its historic ruins and picturesque river, will transform once again this June into the heavy metal mecca.
More than 160 bands including headliners heavyweights like Metallica, Guns n’ Roses, Scorpions and Gojira, will be filling the six stages with different subgenres from Thrash to Punk, from Stoner to Black Metal.
Organisers are expecting 150,000+ punters willing to explore, headbang and have the time of their lives, something hard to come by for the past two years, act now and book your tickets. See you in hell …
Part I: June 17-19
Part II: June 23-26

Several bands have recently informed of their unavailability for the 2022 edition.
So, Hellfest has announced the cancellation of the following artists for June: The Wildhearts, Powerflo, Obituary, 3Teeth, Belzebubs, Numenorean, Of Mice & Men, Justin(e), Legion of the Damned, Hatebreed and Crowbar. In addition to the cancellation of Faith No More already announced, the organisers learned a few days ago that a new 'headliner' could not be present for this 2022 edition: Avenged Sevenfold.
In spite of this setback, they have done their best to find alternatives to guarantee a colourful line-up for this anniversary edition and Hellfest is now able to announce the addition of 32 new bands to the 2022 line-up.
First of all, GOJIRA will close Mainstage 1 on the first weekend, for their only European festival date. Proud to be able to place at the top of the biggest stage of the festival, a French band! Joe, Mario, Christian & Jean-Michel, see you on Sunday, June 19th.
Concerning the replacement of Faith No More, Hellfest confirmed this recently but it will be announced in April. They have found a band that they’ve been waiting for a long time, for a unique date in European festival this summer and that will have its place as a headliner on Saturday, June 18th on Mainstage 1! So be patient!
