Held each year in the beautiful area of Clisson, France, Hellfest has become one of the largest and most highly-anticipated heavy music festivals on the planet. For the second consecutive year, ESP Guitars is proud to be the official guitar sponsor of Hellfest, and for good reason. Take a look at the amazing lineup for all three days — June 21, 22, and 23 — and you might see more bands with ESP players than just about any other guitar or bass maker.

If you’re attending Hellfest, ESP will be right there with you. Visit Hell City Square and visit the ESP showroom where, along with our French distributor Algam, we’ll be hosting meet-and-greet sessions with ESP players. You’ll also have the chance to try out a variety of LTD, E-II, and ESP instruments right there, and purchase them on the spot (don’t worry; we’ll ship them out so you won’t have to drag them around the show).

Below is a list of artists and bands who are scheduled to perform at Hellfest 2019, along with the guitars and basses you might see them playing.
