Hellfest began in 2006 when Ben Barbaud and a team of organizers transformed Fury Fest into a groundbreaking celebration of heavy sounds. Based in Clisson, France, Hellfest has grown into what many consider the country’s largest extreme-music festival. With six stages—Main Stage 1 & 2, Warzone, Valley, Altar, and Temple—the festival spans four days of non-stop live performances that attract tens of thousands of metal and hardcore fans from around the world.
