Among the first headliners, we find in particular the giants of American metal Machine Headwho have already provided a memorable set at Hellfest 2024 and are celebrating the 30th anniversary of the release of their first album. We also find the essentials of Norwegian black metal Dimmu Borgir. While their tenth studio album is currently in preparation, no specific information about it has been released yet.

Other bands on the bill include: Blind Guardianlegendary German heavy metal band, Kataklysmproudly carrying the banner of Quebec death metal. Between the Buried and Mean American progressive metal band as virtuoso as it is modern, will also be there, as well as Me and That Mana side project of Behemoth frontman Nergal.

The French scene is not forgotten, with the Marseillais of LANDMVRKSwho continue to rise, as proven by their appearance at Hellfest 2024.
