Opeth Announced As Hammerfest Headliners
Metal Hammer are delighted to announce that Opeth are to headline next year’s Hammerfest alongside the already announced Bullet For My Valentine.
“The UK got Opeth before everyone else. With this line-up, we’ll never do a bad show,” says Mi. “The level of our performance is so high now that even if we suck, it will still be a good show!”
Opeth join a stellar bill that also includes Saxon, Hammerfall, Skindred, Cathedral, Alestorm, Grand Magus, Sabbat, TYR, Exit Ten, Annotations Of An Autopsy, Trigger The Bloodshed and Dream Evil with plenty more metal heavyweights set to join the bill.
Weekend tickets are available right now and include two night’s accommodation, entrance to all six arenas plus free car parking. Get your tickets early as part of our early bird scheme and you can get your tickets at an extremely wallet-friendly £80 per head, based on a group of six people sharing a six-berth apartment.
Metal Hammer will be announcing more of the biggest and best names in metal for Hammerfest over the coming months. Get this news first by signing up to the Metal Hammer Newsletter and adding our Hammerfest Myspace page to your friends list.

That sounds a lot better than BFMV, unfortunately I’ve already got tickets for Wacken so I probaly won’t be going to Hammerfest

I’ll be at Hammerfest, looks like a great weekend! Also check out METALFEST in Sept… http://www.metalfest.org.uk
Why the hell is this 18+?? OK, I can understand not wantying gangs of feral kids running around the place but supervised (i.e. with parents)=- where’s the harm in that?
I read somewhere that it was ‘because of the bars’ – that’s garbage because those same bars will be opening when the camp opens for it’s summer season a couple of weeks later
if you think about it its the venue cus HRH was at pontins and that was 18+
Damn I wish could live in the UK. I’m in America that sucks Hammerfest sounds awesome!
sup metalheads? hows it hangin im so fuckin lookin forward to hammerfest \m/

i think 18 admit is a good thing. Only for Brits that is. I go abroad for festivals. Wacken,Graspop,Hellfest,Summerbreeze…you dont kids over there acting a cunt and spoinling the festival for everyone like they do in England..so for England only..it’s a good thing.
