| Hellfest Open Air Hellfest started in 2002 as a small indoor festival in France but has now became one of the biggest festivals in Europe. Hellfest is located in the idyllic town of Clisson and brings most of the biggest metal subgenres to the table during 3 hectic days of pure chaos, metal and beer. Delivering a full running 24/7 timetable of Heavy metal, hardcore punk, hard rock and stoner rock –- the festival welcomes almost 40 000 persons per day! After surviving the end of the world, Hellfest 2013 reveals new surprises; like the return the American giants : KISS, and for the first time, the legendary ZZ TOP including many others like KORN, TWISTED SISTER, NEUROSIS, SAXON and DOWN. http://www.hellfest.fr |
