Black Sabbath and Rammstein have been confirmed as the headline acts for next year’s Hellfest event.
The festival will take place in Clisson, France on June 17, 18 and 19, 2016.
Over 100 other bands have also been announced, including Megadeth, Korn, Slayer, Ghost, Paradise Lost, Bring Me The Horizon, Anthrax and Tremonti.
Organisers say: “We have tested your patience these last few days and we hope you will forgive us. As you know, instead of leaking tidbits of information, drip by drip, we’d rather go for the big splash.
“We are happy to announce this first list of groups, and we are equally curious to have your feedback on this 2016 vintage.”
They confirm over 20 more artists have still to be added, while three-day passes are available again via the festival’s website. Further details including set times will be issued in due course.
