THE PRODIGY
The loss of charismatic vocalist Keith Flint in 2019 did not stop the band, who chose to honor him by continuing their journey with full force. Their explosive shows and wild sound are a fusion of electronic hardcore and punk-rock, brimming with rave energy.
Known for their intensity, the band is currently working on the successor to their acclaimed album No Tourists (2018).
Get ready for a unique experience and a real party when brave Britons visit the festival for the first time!
THE CULT
Since the 1980s, the British group has captivated audiences with its unique style of psychedelic hard rock with gothic touches, influencing countless bands and fans over the years.
The band's classic and timeless music combines raw energy, passion, and legendary riffs, spanning decades. Whether you're a longtime fan or a new listener – this is a rock 'n' roll revolution you need to experience!
DETHKLOK
Dethklok initially emerged as a fictional band on the cult show Metalocalypse , but quickly became much more than that. With insane drumming, guttural vocals, crushing riffs, and face-melting guitar solos, the group offers a unique experience of technical metal combined with dark humor.
Metalocalypse has arrived – are you ready ?
MYLES KENNEDY
The talented vocalist released his solo album, The Art of Letting Go, in the fall of 2024, also announcing a new tour with musicians Zia Uddin (drums) and Tim Tournier (bass). Recognized for having one of the most powerful voices in modern rock, Kennedy is known for his grand and deeply personal songs, as well as his impeccable guitar skills.
CABAL
The Danish band presents a brutal and dark deathcore sound, with a wall of sound that combines explosive aggression and artistic depth.
Since the release of the acclaimed Mark of Rot (2020), the group has been pushing the boundaries of extreme metal. After destroying the Hades stage two years ago, Cabal returns in 2025 to spread even more chaos with their apocalyptic and powerful metal.
LAST TRAIN
The alternative rock of the 90s lives on in the intense sound of Last Train, which combines drone guitars and screamed vocals with an underground edge. The album Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (2024) marked a creative evolution for the French band, transforming old songs into new inspirations.
TERROR
The Danish death metal scene continues to spawn new monsters, and Terrorpy stands out for the genre's bloodiest and most macabre side. Following the success of Stuffing Puke into the Sockets (2022), they released the powerful The Bisection Collection (2024).
His dirty and brutal songs are a sonic punishment, but with a refinement that impresses both critics and audiences.
