A NEW HOPE
Hellbangers, As you can imagine, the organization of this edition in these somewhat troubled times sometimes looks like a game of musical chairs.
Several bands have recently informed us of their unavailability for the 2022 edition. Indeed, the organization of some international tours is affected by the health situation.
So we announce the cancellation of the following artists for next June: The Wildhearts, Powerflo, Obituary, 3Teeth, Belzebubs, Numenorean, Of Mice & Men, Justin(e), Legion of the Damned, Hatebreed and Crowbar.
In addition to the cancellation of Faith No More already announced, we learned a few days ago that a new ‘headliner’ could not be present for this 2022 edition: Avenged Sevenfold.
In spite of this setback, we did our best to find alternatives to guarantee a colorful line-up for this anniversary edition and we are now able to announce the addition of 32 new bands to the 2022 line-up.
First of all, we are happy to announce that Gojira will close Mainstage 1 on the first weekend, for their only European festival date. What a pride to be able to place at the top of the biggest stage of the festival, a French band! Joe, Mario, Christian & Jean-Michel, see you on Sunday June 19th.
Concerning the replacement of Faith No More, we were able to confirm it recently but it will be announced in April. We went to find a band that you have been waiting for a long time, for a unique date in European festival this summer and that will have its place as a headliner on Saturday, June 18th on Mainstage 1! So be patient.

● MAINSTAGES: A Day To Remember, Steve Vai, Skillet, Mammoth WVH, Ferocious Dog, The Last Internationale, Dead Heat, Fauxx, Titan, Stengah.
●WARZONE: Comeback Kid, Sick Of It All, GBH, August Burns Red, Les Sherriff, Incendiary, Mordred.
