Everything happens at Hellfest Grounds, in Clisson. Clisson · 0 km · about 0 min is the organiser's practical nearby base for accommodation and transfers to the festival site. Tent camping only is available at the festival.
Hellfest keeps the same calendar slot each year: June 2027 for this edition, opening on a Wednesday and closing on a Friday. It is a high-summer date, which is peak season for both travel and accommodation across the region. That slot matters for the budget — flights and rooms in Clisson are priced for the festival weekend, not the week around it, so shifting your arrival by a day often saves more than any ticket tier does.

See every ticket tier and travel option →Planning the trip, step by step
- 1Book the ticket first: tiers at Hellfest are sold in waves and the cheapest wave is gone long before the line-up is complete.
- 2Then price the travel from Paris — Cinderella compares train, bus, car and flight for the same dates, and the cheapest option is not always the obvious one.
- 3Reserve 4 nights rather than 3: the last night of a festival almost always ends after the last train home.
- 4If you fly into Nantes Atlantique Airport, check the transfer time to Clisson before booking the earliest departure — the airport bus is usually the cheapest leg of the whole trip.
- 5Follow Hellfest on Cinderella to be emailed when a ticket price drops or a new tier opens.
