What are the dates of the Hellfest 2021 ?
The 15th edition of Hellfest, which takes place each year in Clisson, a small peaceful town in the Loire-Atlantique, is postponed for the time being to 18, 19 and 20 June 2021, but the maintenance of this edition 2021 is suspended because of the epidemic of the coronavirus .
Hellfest Corner, the last bar of the festival in Paris
The Hellfest Corner, the first bar of the festival, opened its doors on 27 November 2019 at 37 rue Quincampoix in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, in the les Halles district at 2 minutes with feet of the Centre Pompidou, in order to fill “the 362 days of the year when the Hellfest doesn’t take place”. The Hellfest Corner Paris is both a bar – with metal music galore, finger food, and a smokehouse in the basement – and a shop, where you can find vinyls, jewelry, posters, t-shirts, books and other surprises. “It’s a bar or rather a place that is open to all, where lives the spirit of conviviality, brotherhood and sharing to the largest gathering of extreme music in France”, explains Benjamin Barbaud, the founder of Hellfest.
Laurent Rossi, director of the label Jive Epic Group at Sony Music Entertainment and Matthieu Drouot, Director of production chez Gérard Drouot Productions are the proud successors of the former establishment of the 37 rue Quincampoix, the bar Dr Feelgood, no offense, the collective of residents. Other French cities will also have their Hellfest Corner, starting with Nantes, without the concept of becoming as a string. Between cabinet of curiosities and musical universe, the new HEADQUARTERS of the metalheads of the capital is furnished by the teams of nantes collective Bungalow Bunker and artist Madneom who have already completed a part of the decoration of the festival.
A Hellfest Corner soon in Nantes !
