Ive read this and i can see that there wasnt any lockers in hellfest til last year, but now that theres a new field and all that, does anybody knows if theres gonna be lockers? im coming from mexico and im gonna be backpacking for 2 months, so i dont know if its safe to leave my passport, laptop, money, etc… in the tent. Thanks
I don’t know if there’s gonna be lockers, but you can find somebody with a car you can trust entirely and let your package in.I can do that if i come if you want, I’ll give you my name, adress etc if it can reassure you or for the police if i go away with your stuff, but don’t worry it won’t happen 
Maybe @ the train station?
thanks a lot dude, that would be really cool! i appreciate it!
Well if there is no lockers at the train station or in the fest, and if i’m here (never know what could happen), consider that my car his your locker
Hello there!
We plan to reach Clisson this year finally, and arranged almost everything, except transportation from Paris to Clisson. Of course, there’s a point to take TGV Paris - Nantes, but the route back from Nantes isn’t fitting - trains stop at 22 and start 5 o’clock in the morning, so we have no chance to reach Charles-de -Golle in time.
I’ve heard that some agency arranges bus trips from Paris straight to Clisson and back after the festival closes.
Can anyone give me a hint if this service still exists and where I could find more info on that?
Thanks in advance.
It does exist indeed but that’s not for sale yet. You’ll find information regarding that in the days to come on the festival website.
Well, thank you! These shuttle buses are the only way for us to get out of Clisson straight after the festival.
I need information about shuttle transport Clisson-Nantes. Any idea how much it is going to cost? What will be their origin? Etc… I doubt if sleep in a hotel at Nantes or at camping area, and I must to decide soon.
@Dr. Perkele : some information is now available on the official website (check out the « Trips » section).
@rider_of_storm : there will be more informationabout the issue in a few weeks.
Anyway, the whole thing should waork the same way than the previous years. Here’s a quote from the staff that should still apply :
Minibuses will take those interested from the station in Clisson to the festival entrance or the camp site (or any other destination in Clisson) for only 2 Euros per journey. This service runs from the afternoon of Thursday the 17th of June to Monday afternoon on the 21nd of June. There will be shuttles ready for each trains arriving at Clisson trainstation!
To go to Nantes, some shuttle buses will require a minimum of 5 people for a journey. The cost will be 10 Euros per person to travel during the day, and 15 Euros to travel at night
The same local taxi firm from Clisson will take you from the airport in Nantes to Clisson for 10 Euros per person during the day and 15 Euros during the night with a minimum of 5 people per journey. This service is also available of the last day of the festival and the day after.
For further information and booking please mail virginie@groupedouillard.com or call 0033 240 039 205
How many people per day will there be this year? Will it be much bigger than last year in terms of numbers?
Won’t be more than 35,000 per day. But the site will be about twice bigger.
Hello! I miss a Spanish forum over here…anyway here I go with my english
I’m going this year to hellfest from Spain, by motorhome? camper? (I really don’t know the english word for that). I’ve already read that there’s no specific zone for that purpose, so I guess that we will have to camp in the carpark with our camper, since is forbiden to park ir in the camp zone. So, my question is if there is going to be vigilance in the car park, I wonder if it’s safe left the camper there the whole fest without vigilance.
I know that travel by camper to some european fests is a common practice, did the previous hellfests get many campers in it’s car park?
And, there will be some point to wire the electric system of the camper or fill the water deposit? in the car park or near I mean…
Thank you!
anybody there?
Buenas MetalGod,
So, if I remember well (might be wrong), there is no vigilance in the parking place but it should be safe if you do the obvious (not showing valuable stuff/etc…), plus alot of people go by if they want to go to Leclerc and all that… so security shouldn’t be an issue.
I do remember alot of people with their motorhome (or whatever it’s called) but I don’t think there was electricity supply… as for water, doesn’t the festival site has fountains ? Or else, the always handy Leclerc.
Hello
We’re a party of 4 traveling from Denmark.
I have a few questions regarding the camping area, when it opens Thursday at 2pm:
-
Is there only one entrance or more, located around the festival area.
-
How early do people get to the entrance, to stand in line?
Do people rush in and are there any spots that are « bad »? (I’m thinking excessive noise 24hrs, bar ares etc.)?
At Roskilde, some people set up these huge camps, at roughly the same spot each year, with GIANT sound systems, sort of like mini-clubs, and play music constantly, extremly loud. Unless you are on drugs, they are terrible to live next to. Are there the same type of camps at Hellfest (just so we know where NOT to set up camp)? -
We MIGHT only arrive late Thursday, how hard is to find a decent spot by then? Is the area big compared to the amount of guests or does it fill up within 30 min., making it impossible to find a place to set up camp after that??
(I can only compare with Roskilde festival, where the camping area literally fills up within 45-60 min. and anyone arriving after that, will be hard pressed to find a decent spot.) -
Same with the carpark, is it easy to find a place to park your car or should one turn up early for this?
-
Is it possible to buy festival chairs, tent supply’s etc at the festival/camping area?
Thank you.
@wombat with goathorns : thanks for answering MetalGods’ questions. Nothing else to add.
@MrLee: as you may know, the festival site will not be the same than the previous years and we miss some information so far. Anyway, here are some hints.
- You’ll find many different car parks spread around the festival area. Regarding the access to the site/campsite : there has only been one single gate over the years.
- Yep, you’ll have to queue. People tend to arrive earlier and earlier every year so there’s quite a crow when gates open but people are civilised (no risk to be crushed). Bad/good spots : depends on your neighbours… There is a place with sound system/bars called the Metal Corner that gather people and that provide noise. Its exact spot for this year is tbc.
- The later you arrive, the trickier it is. But if you arrive on Thusday, that should not be a problem. Once again : people arrive very early but it will be a new expanded site.
- If you arrive on Thursday, no worries at all.
- There’s a giant supermarket nearby (Leclerc) where you’ll be able to buy plenty of stuffs. There’s a sport shop too. But obviously, dunno wether what you need will be available when you get there…
Any idea when the last ten bands are going to be announced?
Hey guys,
I have a question regarding the camping.
are there any restrictions in terms of alcohol (e.g. no hard stuff, no glass bottles, only 4 litres etc)?
thanks in advance
