There are 53 of them. 53 bands to grace one of Hellfest 's 6 stages on Saturday June 21, 2025, the third day of the metal festival's new weekend. So, which artists are not to be missed on Saturday? Judas Priest, Savatage, Abbath... let's take a look at 5 bands to see on June 21, 2025 in Clisson for the return of Hellfest.
Urne hail from the UK, and they're sure to attract plenty of ears at the Altar on June 21. Offering a skilful blend of stoner, sludge, metalcore and progressive metal, the trio already caused a sensation when they opened for Kvelertak at Paris's Cabaret Sauvage last February. Now, this summer, the British trio are coming to Hellfest to unleash their powerful songs, notably from their latest opus, which was produced by a certain... Joe Duplantier of Gojira!
After an absence of several years, Savatage are back on stage, with a stopover in Clisson at Hellfest! Join us on Mainstage 2 to hear Zak Stevens, Al Pitrelli, Chris Caffery, John Lee Middleton and Jeff Plate perform thrash metal, hard rock and heavy metal. With a dozen opuses to their credit, this Florida-based band is sure to take us back in time and offer us a fine musical voyage!
Heavy metal in all its glory is set to resound on Mainstage 2 on June 21, 2025, with the eagerly-awaited Judas Priest set. Despite a 55-year career, the British band is still in top form, and frontman Rob Halford's voice remains as powerful and transcendent as ever. Three years after their last visit to Clisson, Judas Priest return to electrify the festival with some of their timeless hits.
Abbath was also present at Clisson in 2022. This summer, the famous Norwegian composer, singer and guitarist returns to Hellfest to shake the Temple tent and send shivers down the spine of his fans. Real name Olve Eikemo, Abbath Doom Occulta is set to deliver a memorable set in the style that suits him so well: black metal!
Attention progressive metal fans! Head to the Altar stage on Saturday evening to hear the Norwegian band Leprous. Is it really necessary to introduce this Scandinavian band, who have been playing a string of concerts and festivals in recent years? It has to be said that Leprous know how to play live. The band's vocalist Einar Solberg's astonishing vocals, drummer Baard Kolstad's remarkable playing and songs that are as bewitching as they are powerful. In short, this is a band you absolutely must see live again and again!
Of course, this list is by no means exhaustive, and there are plenty of other bands not to be missed at Hellfest on June 21. What are you planning to see and hear on Saturday in Clisson?
