More about the headliners

Among the headliners at the Hellfest is the American rock band Kiss, which was formed in the early ‘70s. The current lineup of Kiss includes vocalist Paul Stanley, vocalist and bassist Gene Simmons, drummer Eric Singer, and lead guitarist Tommy Thayer.

The band was known in its early days for its shock-rock style live performances, which included pyrotechnics, blood spitting, smoking guitars, and other effects. The original lineup of the band (Stanley, Simmons, Ace Frehley, and Peter Criss) was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014. They announced their final tour in 2018.

Also among the headliners of Hellfest are the surviving members of Pantera, who announced their reunion after two decades and are also set to headline a number of festivals, including Rockville and Knotfest next year. Pantera will feature its surviving members, including Philip Anselmo and Rex Brown, who will be supported by Ozzy Osbourne’s lead guitarist Zakk Wylde and Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante.

Hellfest will also feature metal legends Slipknot, who have separately announced their tour and the Knotfest series of festivals. They recently released their seventh full-length album, titled The End, So Far, in September via Roadrunner Records. The band’s original lineup features percussionist Shawn Crahan, drummer Joey Jordison, and bassist Paul Gray.
