hahninator Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 As we posted on social media about a month ago, French radio DJ Zégut claimed on October 5th that Linkin Park, Aerosmith, and Prophets Of Rage will perform at Hellfest in Clisson, France. The festival is held between June 16th and 18th, dates that are open in what Linkin Park has announced so far. We held off on making a thread about the rumor because at that time, the band had not even confirmed a European Tour for June 2017 yet. However, now we know LP will be touring at that exact time. Festileaks follows up on this by saying the DJ's credibility is that he leaked Black Sabbath as a headliner for 2016's Hellfest. He is on top of French music news, including the upcoming Metallica private show in France. Interestingly, a comment on Zégut's blog on October 6th said that Linkin Park, System Of A Down, and Prophets Of Rage were all playing Download. Download Paris was recently confirmed today with this exact lineup. Lastly, Metal-Impact.com said today that Linkin Park will perform at Hellfest. In terms of rumors, this one is pretty solid. Stay tuned for an official confirmation hopefully in November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marzo23 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) WOAAH! two shows in France...first time 2001/2003?^^ Edited November 1, 2016 by marzo23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smarky Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Whoa... seems like this is true. But this would be an odd booking as Download Paris and Hellfest directly compete. Download Paris being in it's second year it's trying to latch onto some of the success Hellfest has had in France, Hellfest has become huge with a lot of people from the UK going, even going instead of the Download in the UK despite language difficulties, french people and massive travel times.

thedamian58c Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I can imagine them playing a setlist full of singles and poppy songs like ALTNC, BID or COG, only because it's Hellfest, kinda like they did it for Carnivores Tour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coizu Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I can imagine them playing a setlist full of singles and poppy songs like ALTNC, BID or COG, only because it's Hellfest, kinda like they did it for Carnivores Tour People still think they do their setlist depending on where/what they play?

LinkInThePark Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 People still think they do their setlist depending on where/what they play? Hahah LP could play Ozzfest now and have the same setlist they had 2014/2015 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodbath Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 I can imagine them playing a setlist full of singles and poppy songs like ALTNC, BID or COG, only because it's Hellfest, kinda like they did it for Carnivores Tour In front of an audience full of metalheads? Don't think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geki Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 People still think they do their setlist depending on where/what they play? Best post ever and 100% accurate for LP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZLP-NaughtyNottingham Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 (edited) They just don't give a fuck their mindset is to do whatever they want. (won't play a heavy setlist for Hellfest.) Edited November 2, 2016 by JZE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedamian58c Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 In front of an audience full of metalheads? Don't think so. You'd better think so, cause it has happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anvanoppens Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 How about Main Square? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueSoul Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Rob Zombie just leaked this picture online, so it seems he's playing, but the rest of the lineup looks fake. Outdated LP logo Apparently appeared on the Hellfest forums awhile ago How is Guns N' Roses not headlining? EDIT: Linkin Park confirmed for Hellfest.

Yeah, that logo is from the MTM Era, they stopped using that logo when they released ATS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
