Last year Melbourne metal heroes Ne Obliviscaris and Airborne were apart of the Hellfest action, performing alongside Judas Priest, Nightwish, Scorpions, ZZ Top, Slipknot and many more!

Hellfest is the successor of Fury Fest, and is fast becoming Europe’s sort after heavy metal and hard rock camping festival. The festival is based in Clisson, 400 km south-west of Paris, and is held in June every year and brings in on average around 70,000+ attendance. Read our review of Hellfest 2015 here.

All 3 Day Camping Passes for the event have completely sold out in record time. However, organisers will post updates of new tickets if they become available. If you somehow get your hands on a ticket, we strongly advise you go. You won’t be disappointed.

Although the opening of the gates of the hellfest gets in seven months, we inform you that the entirety of the pass 3 days have been passed. (the last pass 3 days online are gone in a few hours today) that is still a new record recorded for the festival and it is thanks to your confidence! We thank you again for all your support and promise we will do our best to secure a new 2016 Edition of the hellfest of the most memorable!
