VIDEO. Hellfest 2024: hundreds of festival-goers arrive at Leclerc de Clisson

Marc-Antoine Etourneau has a smile. Under the eyes of the director of Leclerc de Clisson (Loire-Atlantique)130 to 140 of its employees clap their hands loudly under gray smoke near the main entrance, this Thursday morning, June 27, 2024.

Behind this entrance and the black curtain, a hundred festival-goers are waiting very (too much?) wisely the opening. ” You are hot ?? », says Vincent Colin, responsible for setting fires in the middle of all these people. Meanwhile, the employees equip themselves with their headbands with red horns and form a guard of honor.

The device is known to everyone. It’s been around ten years since the mass distribution store brought down the curtain to mark the start of the Hellfest.

Then at 8:45 a.m., the curtain falls and festival-goers can enter to a few shouts of the iconic “Apérooooo”. Others will follow for the first supplies at the start of the four-day festival.
