Hellfest has revealed it's 2026 line-up, and as usual, it's an absolute blinder. Headlined by Bring Me The Horizon, Iron Maiden, Limp Bizkit and The Offspring, the event which takes place in Clisson, France from 18 - 21 June 2026, also features Megadeth, Anthrax, and Mikkey Dee & Friends performing an exclusive Motörhead set.
Dubbed 'Tales from the Pit', Hellfest 2026 follows on from 2025's event which saw Korn, Muse, Scorpions & Linkin Park Set Clisson on Fire.
