World of Warcraft news » WoW is Ready to Rock Hellfest 2018

World of Warcraft and metal music will reunite once again for the 13th edition of the Hellfest open air festival! We’re excited to head back to Clisson, France from June 22-24 for one of Europe’s most massive music events, and we’ll be bringing a special guest with us.

Renowned actor and DJ (not to mention World of Warcraft and metal music fan) Kristian Nairn will be there in the flesh, meeting artists and discussing their shared passions for video games and guitar riffs.

We’ll also be broadcasting 6 concerts live on the World of Warcraft Twitter channel, in collaboration with ARTE Concert and Hellfest Productions. So those who can’t rock out at Hellfest in person will still be able to headbang with the best of them! Before each show, Kristian Nairn will talk about the deadly combo of WoW and metal music, as well as his own personal gaming experience, in exclusive intro videos.

Check out the epic concert schedule below:

• Friday, June 22: Stone Sour (22h20 – 23:30)
• Saturday, June 23: Bullet for my Valentine (22:25 - 23:30), Avenged Sevenfold (23:30 – 1:00) and Parkway Drive (1:00 – 2:05)
• Sunday, June 24: Megadeth (19:20 – 20:20) and Alice in Chains (20:25 – 21:25).

Tune in on Twitter to watch! 

For those making the trip to Hellfest, we’ll also be offering festival-goers the opportunity to win VIP pass upgrades via the official Hellfest app. Keep an eye on the World of Warcraft and Hellfest Twitter channels for details, coming soon.

We look forward to rocking out with you at Hellfest 2018!
