Hellfest 2025

[SweetJesus]

Social networks and web updated. Full lineup around 25th November.

 

Maybe some surprise before that like last year?

[Archi]

This year, the most surprising was the line-up not heavy at all on both Main Stages the last day around Foo Fighters. Added with the huge mention of the "Infernopolis" concept. All of this probably to be kind with FF (and a bit for The Prodigy). This year, there's a subtitle on the festival but less big so I guess we gonna have headliners more classic. 

 

IN

- As they are back on track, Slayer seems pretty obvious even if they haven't announced anything yet for Europe. 

- With a new album coming next year, Volbeat is another good guess as headliner.

- Already announced in Europe, SlipKnot are almost confirmed.

- Same for KoRn.

- Probably Sabaton too as they could release a new album already.

- With their huge success, selling 20k tickets in Paris in a few seconds, we can expect Falling In Reverse.

- Following their actual huge tour, Powerwolf could win a post and headline the second Main Stage.

- I remembered some rumors on this forum about Nine Inch Nails coming in Europe so they might be here too.

- As his tour in February is kinda short, maybe Marilyn Manson will do festivals after.

 

OUT

- I guess Iron Maiden are out. Seems legit to thing they'll play Graspop on 19th and they won't play 4 days in a row.

- Announced as exclusivity at Rock Am Ring, we won't have Sleep Token.

 

My guess (not hyped at all): 
MS1 SlipKnot - Slayer - Sabaton - Nine Inch Nails.
MS2 Falling In Reverse - Korn - Marilyn Manson - Volbeat.

Whatever the heads are, the undercard is the best part, having amazing stuff from 11am until the headliners is WILD, especially at the tents - Altar/Valley.  The only band i know for sure is Down.

Down? Phil is focus on Pantera right now and the band opens for Metallica in the States on June 22th. So it's certain Down won't be at Hellfest...

Ah didn't realize they announced/changed plans, were supposed to be at summer fests too, move down to 2026 it is, were supposed to headline REF in Romania

Iron Maiden, Slipknot, Gojira and now Scorpions are ruled out due to playing elsewhere in France. Don't know what Hellfest got in their pockets, since the headliner pool for next year doesn't look very large by now.

Could Green Day do it? Slayer are rumoured aren’t they? Could also see Korn and Linkin Park taking a couple of slots too.

Slayer are heavily rumoured to play only Hellfest and Download. Green Day are also ruled out since they're playing Hurricane / Southside on the same weekend.

 

Maybe Linkin Park - Korn - Slayer - Judas Priest?

(Judas Priest is no longer Headliner at HellFest)

[Karlos12345]

Maybe NIN doing it again cause they enjoyed 2022 so much?

They always climbed between headliner and non-headliner, same with Korn.

Slipknot are free on June 19, just like Scorpions for all 4 days, at least right now. But I hope they won’t play due to their other shows in France. 

 

BMTH & Sabaton are also ruled out. 
Green Day could play only on June 19, but don’t think it will happen because they are in Vienna on June 17-18.

 

Linkin Park is playing SDF according to Zegut, but there is a chance for them. Someone on HF forum wrote that he saw Barbaud in backstage (or something like that) at Linkin Park show in Paris so maybe they were talking about festival show.

 

Or SOAD & Slayer exclusive shows? Shavo will be in Europe with Seven Hours After Violet, just like Holt with Exodus. 
 

We’ll see in a 3 weeks if November 25th is correct information

If they get both SOAD and Slayer as exclusives it would really impress me, but from a festival that managed to get both Metallica and Foo Fighters while all the other festivals were struggling with headliners, nothing is impossible.

To be honest they managed to get KISS, Iron Maiden and Slipknot too. In fairness Glastonbury manages to get Foos to come over from the States again for a 55 minute show lol.

Muse - Linkin Park - Slayer? - Korn/Judas

 

I don't see SOAD in the lineup

If it's not Slayer, then maybe Deftones.

Muse could be a shout imo - someone connected with Hellfest talked them up as a possible headliner according to something I saw on their Reddit, plus they're doing a hard rock festival in Norway and France is a strong market of theirs.

 

Was Linkin Park's Stade de France show billed as an exclusive show in France?
