Hellfest 2023: what if AC / DC went through Clisson?

You will say that with if we could put Paris in a bottle, repaint the world in blue and declare the Clissonnais metal festival of public utility. Of course, but with ifs, we can dream and in these uncertain times it’s already a lot…

And what do metalheads from all over the world dream about? They dream of the poster of the millennium, the one that will definitely bring Hellfest to the Pantheon of festivals.

So of course, there is no question here of denigrating the first fifteen editions and in particular the latest, the edition of the century, with its 7 days of madness, its 140,000 festival-goers and its hundreds of groups, including of course the legendary Metallica.

No question either of playing the programmers instead of the programmer here but of imagining for a moment that one of the most legendary bands in metal or more precisely in hard rock, the oldest too, will be playing in June 2023 .

This group is called AC/DC, yes yes, these little young Australians who rang the bells in the past century. Almost 50 years on the scene, 18 studio albums, more than 200 million albums sold across the planet, a few line-up changes and an Angus Young still in shorts.

Why would we imagine that when Ben Barbaud, the boss of the festival himself, recently confided that it was no longer an obsession for the team to hang the group on their board, a group that does not play no longer in festivals but only in stadiums? Yes why ?

And if AC/DC calls me tomorrow, I’ll talk to them

Quite simply because the Hellfest, which was to return to a normal format in 2023 with its usual three days, will finally be held over four, as we were able to discover recently via the festival’s social networks in a burst of perfectly orchestrated mystery. What to imagine a last minute guest!

Quite simply also because the rumors of an AC/DC tour in Europe, notably in Spain and France, are multiplying on the internet. A Spanish site mentions two concerts, a first at the Civitas Metropolitano in Madrid, a second at the Estadi Olímpic in Barcelona, ​​with a capacity of approximately 70,000 and 56,000 seats respectively. Another site talks about a concert at the Stade de France in Paris.

From there to imagine a second date in France and why not under the sun of Clisson, we can indeed dream!

So, we can go with other names that are already circulating here and there in well-informed circles, such as Iron Maiden, Pantera, Slipknot, Rage Against the Machine but they have just canceled their 2023 American tour, or why not a stage of the Stadium Tour bringing together Mötley Crüe, Def Leppard, Poison and Joan Jett And The Blackhearts and which toured the United States and Canada this summer.

We leave you with all these calculations and above all have sweet dreams until the announcement of the poster which should take place at the end of the year!
