  2. theWolfisLOOSE says:

    HOLY FUCK! ….. Why don’t they bring back the original Hellfest????

  3. elohdaeh78 says:

    first off the original hellfest was nothing like this fest and secondly the asshole that ran it went bankrupt and stole everyones ticket money and all the vendors money.

  4. rammstien says:

    thats badass but not here

  5. Exploited64 says:

    It’s kind of sad to see Korn as the first name on that flier

  6. youguysaremorons says:

    Emperor, Immortal, Mayhem and a bunch of other amazing bands are definately sharing a festival with Korn. I dont know what to say.

    But I would be there in a heartbeat.

  7. Lollapaloser says:

    Where is Evanescence? They would fit in as easily as KoRn at this festival.

  8. theWolfisLOOSE says:

    I know us foolish Americans would only organize a damn hardcore festival with hooligans who like to flail their arms in uncomfortable jeans. But hot damn, this is one of the finest festival lineups I’ve ever seen…

  9. scartr3k says:

    Holy fuck dude!! Why don’t they have this in the US?!?!?!

  10. kill_for_weed says:

    Uhhh, cause it’s the US?

  11. dalenkwint says:

    A festival like this would be impossible in America for countless unfortunate reasons[status of the music & concert industry, government interference, etc].

    For example, how many already shitty festivals get cancelled because certain people in government are simply close-minded assholes who will do anything to stop the show, even at the last minute- in other words they block or revoke the permits that the organizers need to secure in order to put on the show. It’s happened around where I live multiple times.

    It’s not worth it to put on a show like that around here because all that will happen is someone will lose all the money they put into it and will end up with nothing to show for it.
