Hellbangers, if you are reading this, then you already know what time it is. As we approach the end of the year, without fail, the masterminds behind Hellfest unleash their full brilliance and unveil what is surely the best looking festival lineup of 2026. Known as an extreme music festival, Hellfest is a yearly gathering of people from all walks of life that get together in June to celebrate one thing – the best there is in music today. As it is customary, Hellfest’s impressive lineup is divided between six extraordinary stages. On the two Mainstages, the festival will be the center stage for the likes of Bring Me The Horizon, Iron Maiden, Limp Bizkit, The Offspring, Deep Purple, Sabaton, Volbeat, Bad Omens, Alice Cooper, Opeth, A Perfect Circle, and Helloween, among many others. The Warzone and Valley stages will receive names such as Social Distortion, Kadavar, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Mastodon, Hatebreed, Cult of Luna, The Adicts, and Down, as well as La Dispute, Agnostic Front, Malevolence, Circle Jerks, Buzzcocks, Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats, Slift, and Acid Bath, among many others. Last but by no means least, the Altar and Temple will have their stages crushed by Blood Incantation (on the photo above), Deicide, Napalm Death, Carcass, The Gathering, Behemoth, My Dying Bride, Fulci, and Hulder, among many others. You can check the massive lineup in its entirety below this article. Ready to be a part of more tales from the pit?
