Hellfest 2027 line-up

Hellfest 2027 tickets: buy safely
Hellfest sells out every year as soon as passes go on sale, and the four-day passes for 2027, priced at €389 plus fees, sold out straight away. That makes it a magnet for ticket touts and fake sellers.
If you missed out, use the festival’s own official resale, through the customer area at tickets.hellfest.fr. Fans who can’t go resell their tickets there, so you know the ticket is genuine. Tickets are no longer emailed: they appear in your customer area about a month before the festival, so any “ticket” sent as a PDF or screenshot from a stranger is a red flag. Day passes are due to go on sale in the first quarter of 2027.
Do not buy from social media posts, unofficial resale sites or anyone asking for a bank transfer. Hellfest asks fans to report suspicious sellers rather than risk it.
