Holy shit, next year's lineup for France's Hellfest looks absolutely bonkers.
Yes, there are huge names like KISS, Tool, Manowar, Slayer, ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Dream Theater and Whitesnake. But, as usual, the story is deeper in the lineup.
For example, Tom G. Warrior is putting together a band o perform Hellhammer songs. Emperor is playing. Refused is player. Lamb of God, Trivium, Cannibal Corpse, The Black Dahlia Murder, King Diamond, Carcass, Cult of Luna, Envy, Mantar – FUCKING EVERYBODY IS PLAYING.
I can't even do it justice. Look at the lineup below, or on Hellfest's website.
