It didn’t take long for the festival to reach cruising speed and for metalheads to find their feet again. After a short night’s sleep, return to the site and still under the sun. Hell is definitely hot!
What’s better than a good little circle-pit to get your legs going after a first day of concerts and a night lulled by the screams, songs, and laughter of the festival-goers? This one was held at the Stinky concert…
Stinky, precisely, the Nantes group had promised a hurricane of decibels and committed texts around transsexuality, mental health, emotional dependency or the quest for meaning, and this was the case…
Equally militant, the French group Lofofora set the tone for this 17th edition of the festival, immersed in a strong political context. With an affirmation of its commitment right at the start of the concert and an invitation to the stage of the Femen movement…
Commitment but not only that, Lofofora is above all a metal music group and slam fans were able to enjoy it heart joy…
Hellfest takes place on stage but also in front of it, with its 70,000 festival-goers per day and sometimes surprising looks…
Live from hell!
