Hold onto your leather jackets and get ready to mosh, rock fans! Hellfest 2026 just unleashed a lineup so massive it’s making waves across the Atlantic. The legendary French festival dropped their roster for next June, and it reads like a rock ‘n’ roll hall of fame induction ceremony. Headliners include nu-metal icons Limp Bizkit, metal legends Iron Maiden, punk rock veterans The Offspring, and modern heavyweights Bring Me the Horizon. This is the kind of lineup that makes you want to book your flight to France yesterday!
But wait, it gets even better! The four-day rock extravaganza isn’t stopping with just the headliners. We’re talking about Deep Purple bringing that classic rock magic, the one and only Alice Cooper with his theatrical shock rock, Papa Roach ready to get the pit moving, Social Distortion keeping it punk, and All Time Low bringing that pop-punk energy. With over 180 bands total across multiple stages, this festival is basically rock summer camp for adults. Check out the full lineup on the official Hellfest website to see all the incredible artists making the trip to Clisson.
Now I know what you’re thinking – ‘France is pretty far from Memphis!’ But hear me out, rock-loving Memphians. Our city bleeds music history, from Sun Studio to Beale Street, and this festival embodies that same spirit of musical celebration. While we might not have Hellfest in our backyard, Memphis knows how to throw down with events like Beale Street Music Festival and Mempho Music Fest. Plus, with artists like Limp Bizkit and Bring Me the Horizon continuing to influence the current rock scene, this international lineup feels closer to home than you might think!
This lineup isn’t just a festival – it’s a rock ‘n’ roll pilgrimage for anyone who ever air-guitared in their bedroom or screamed along to ‘Rollin” in their car.
What’s truly mind-blowing about this Hellfest lineup is how it bridges generations of rock music. You’ve got the classic metal of Iron Maiden that your parents probably rocked out to, the 90s nu-metal revolution with Limp Bizkit, the punk rock anthems of The Offspring that defined high school for so many of us, and modern rock innovators like Bring Me the Horizon who are shaping the sound right now. It’s a four-decade span of rock excellence all in one place! If you want to get hyped, check out Bring Me the Horizon’s latest work to see why they’re such a perfect fit for this legendary festival.
Planning your rock pilgrimage? Hellfest takes place from June 18-21, 2026, in Clisson, France. While tickets aren’t on sale yet, you can bet they’ll move faster than a mosh pit when a breakdown hits.
