Hellfest 2026: 5 acts you won't want to miss on Sunday, June 21

President - Mainstage 2 - From 2:20 PM to 3:05 PM
Alternative metal / metalcore - United Kingdom

Do you know President, that mysterious masked British band that's been making waves? If not yet, head to Mainstage 2 on June 21 at 2:20 PM. After sparking curiosity last year at the Download Festival, President has been touring steadily. The project, which fuses alternative metal and metalcore, even played Paris's intimate L'Étoile venue in January. On June 21, President will take the Hellfest stage to drop their tracks, notably from their debut EP "King Of Terrors".

Buzzcocks - Warzone - From 4:00 PM to 4:45 PM
Punk - United Kingdom

Considered one of the pioneers of the British punk scene, Buzzcocks roll into Clisson this summer to prove that English punk remains as explosive and cathartic as ever. With their boundless energy, razor-sharp riffs, and blistering rhythms, the Buzzcocks crew intends to electrify the Warzone and spark some high-octane pogo-dancing.

Pennywise - Mainstage 1 - From 16:50 to 17:40
Punk rock - USA

If you survived your teenage years listening to No Fun At All, Bad Religion, or Black Flag, you’ll surely know Pennywise! The California quartet, in the saddle since 1988, storms Hellfest’s Mainstage 1 on June 21 for our greatest pleasure! It’s a chance for Jim Lindberg and his bandmates to prove they still reign as the undisputed masters of the punk rock scene.

Acid Bath – Valley – From 8:50 PM to 9:50 PM
Sludge - USA

Acid Bath fans are over the moon! The renowned American sludge outfit, formed in the early 1990s in Louisiana, is reuniting and hitting the stage again this year. While the band has been picked to open for several dates on System of a Down's European tour, Acid Bath will also be headlining in Clisson for a highly anticipated set on the Valley. Don’t miss this chance to see the legendary group, whose career stalled in 1997 after bassist Audie Pitre died in a road accident.

Napalm Death - Altar - From 9:55 p.m. to 11:10 p.m.
Grindcore / Death metal - United Kingdom

Craving a brutal shot of grindcore delivered with raw force and fury by Napalm Death? The British quartet is back in Clisson this summer and is set to electrify the Altar stage for Hellfest’s final day. Nearly 45 years after their first bursts onto the scene, Napalm Death remains a touchstone for many and a band you simply have to see at least once in a lifetime!

Of course, this list isn’t exhaustive, and many other acts are must-sees on June 21 at Hellfest. And you, what do you have planned to go see and hear on Sunday in Clisson?
