There are 30 of them. 30 bands to grace one of Hellfest 's 6 stages on Thursday June 19, the first day of the 2025 edition of the legendary metal festival. So, which artists will you be seeing on Thursday? Korn, Jinjer, Seven Hours After Violet... Let's take a look at 5 bands and artists not to be missed on June 19, 2025 in Clisson for the new, 18th edition of Hellfest.
This is one concert System of a Down fans won't want to miss! On Thursday, June 19, Seven Hours After Violet take to Mainstage 2 to offer festival-goers a healthy dose of American nu metal. The band is fronted by bassist Shavo Odadjian of SOAD, Alejandro Aranda and Taylor Barber of Left to Suffer, and Michael Montoya and Josh Johnson of Winds of Plague. This merry band will take the opportunity to present their first opus, released last autumn, live in Clisson.
If you're a fan of stoner, desert rock or doom, then head over to the Valley stage on Thursday June 19! Hellfest welcomes Norwegians Slomosa for what promises to be a powerful and intoxicating musical experience. Hailing from Bergen, Slomosa have already opened for King Buffalo, Elder, Alkaline Trio and, more recently, Greenleaf. This summer, the Scandinavian quartet intends to take advantage of this invitation to Hellfest to seduce new ears!
Those who attended Hellfest in 2022 will probably still remember their huge show. This summer, Ukrainian band Jinjer return to Clisson to the delight of progressive metalcore fans. This time around, the Ukrainian quartet, driven by the overpowering vocals of Tatiana Shmayluk, are sure to shake the tent on the Altar stage! So, will you be there?
" Got the Life ", " Freak on a Leash ", " Falling Away From Me " and " Twist "... For over 30 years now, Korn have been delighting us with their nu metal songs, a genre they pioneered and pioneered! Today, Jonathan Davis and his bandmates continue their adventure, regularly releasing new albums and touring the world. This summer, Korn makes a stopover at Hellfest, a festival they know well, to prove that they remain the best in their field!
A skilful blend of post-black metal and blackgaze, Alcest will hypnotize their fans on Thursday evening under the Temple. The French band, made up of multi-instrumentalist Neige and drummer Winterhalter, will surely take advantage of the occasion to rock out live to several tracks from their latest opus,"Les Chants de l'aurore". On the program? Some beautiful flights of fancy, both powerful and melancholy, for what promises to be a deeply spiritual journey.
Of course, this list is not exhaustive, and many other bands and artists are not to be missed at Hellfest on June 19, 2025. What are you planning to see and hear on Thursday in Clisson?
