When and Where Does Hellfest Open Air 2027 Take Place?
The Hellfest Open Air returns from 17 to 20 June 2027 to the small town of Clisson, located about 30 kilometers southeast of Nantes in western France. Founded in 2006, the festival has grown on the Val de Moine site into the largest and most renowned gathering for extreme music in France.
What to Expect at Hellfest in Clisson, France
Hellfest is far more than a concert series; it is often described as a theme park dedicated to rock and metal culture. Striking features include monumental stage sets, oversized metal sculptures and flame filled backdrops that turn the entire site into an immersive visual experience. Across six stages and four days, more than 150 bands perform in genres ranging from hard rock and black metal to death metal, thrash, grind, sludge, stoner and punk. Legendary acts such as Metallica, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Guns N' Roses and Rammstein have all played the Hellfest stage.
