For the Hard Rock and Metal lovers out there, France’s Hellfest is an annual must-see event, and the 2023 edition is no different. Organizers have just unleashed a massive lineup of acts that will take over Clisson, France the weekend of June 15-18, 2023, with KISS, MÖTLEY CRÜE, IRON MAIDEN and SLIPKNOT headlining the bill.
After having to cancel the 2020 and 2021 editions, organizers wanted to return in a major way and staged seven days of performances over two weekends for 2022. Now scaling back to four days, the quality still remains intact with some of Rock and Metal’s biggest names coming to rock audiences.
Some of 2023’s biggest tours will make stops as part of Hellfest. MÖTLEY CRÜE and DEF LEPPARD are taking their tour around the world after spending 2022 together on The Stadium Tour in the U.S. KISS continue their “End of the Road” run with a Hellfest stop. The Pantera celebration tour touches down in Clisson, France and SLIPKNOT and IRON MAIDEN remain top draws.
Other names of note on the 2023 bill include DEF LEPPARD, PANTERA, HOLLYWOOD VAMPIRES, ALTER BRIDGE, PARKWAY DRIVE, ARCHITECTS, SUM 41, MACHINE GUN KELLY, PAPA ROACH, MOTIONLESS IN WHITE, RANCID, AS I LAY DYING, THE CULT, PORCUPINE TREE, WITHIN TEMPTATION, BLACK FLAG, CLUTCH, AMON AMARTH, LORNA SHORE, NIGHTFALL, BEHEMOTH, MESHUGGAH, SAOR and many more.
As Greeks we are thrilled with the news that our very own NIGHTFALL will be performing at Altar Stage on Thursday, June 15th along with KATATONIA, HYPOCRICY, CANDLEMASS & AEPHANEMER!
While the lineup was just announced yesterday (December 15th), four-day passes for Hellfest 2023 sold out in October, immediately after going on sale. Single-day tickets go on sale in early 2023.
