? To New Hope ?
Hellbangers, you can imagine, the organization of this edition in these somewhat troubled times sometimes resembles a game of musical chairs. Several groups have recently informed us of their unavailability for the 2022 edition. Indeed the organization of certain international tours is being undermined due to the health situation.
This is how we announce the cancellation of the following artists: The Wildhearts, Powerflo, Obituary, 3Teeth, Belzebubs, Numenorean, Of Mice & Men, Justin(e), Legion of the Damned, Hatebreed and Crowbar. In addition to the cancellation of Faith No More already announced, we learned a few days ago that a new 'headliner' could not be present for this 2022 edition: Avenged Sevenfold.
Despite these pitfalls on the course, we have done our best to find alternative solutions to guarantee you a colorful poster for this anniversary edition and this is how we are able to announce the addition of 32 new groups. on the 2022 line-up.
To start, we are happy to announce that GOJIRA will be closing Mainstage 1 on the first weekend, for their only European festival date. What pride to be able to place at the top of the biggest stage of the festival, a French group!
Joe, Mario, Christian & Jean-Michel, see you on Sunday June 19th.
Regarding the replacement of Faith No More, we were able to confirm it recently but its announcement will only take place in April. We've picked up a band you've been waiting for for a long time, for a unique date at a European festival this summer and which will have their place as headliners on Saturday June 18 on Mainstage 1! So be patient.
