Hellfest Warm Up Tour Biarritz

Hellfest Warm Up Tour: Metal stops in Biarritz

Every year, the Hellfest Warm Up Tour travels across France to prepare metal fans for Europe's biggest metal festival. Biarritz is one of the privileged stops on this national tour, with a concert at L'Atabal, the city's contemporary music center.

L'Atabal, Biarritz's Metal Temple

L'Atabal, located at Allée du Moura in Biarritz, is a renowned concert venue that hosts artists from all musical backgrounds throughout the year. For the Warm Up Tour, the venue transforms into a metal temple, offering acoustics and proximity to the artists that make every concert memorable.

Bands with Extreme Styles

The Warm Up Tour's programming favors the extreme styles of metal:

• Brutal death metal: Bands like Benighted, a French reference in the genre, inspired by morbid themes and human psychology
• Deathcore: Bands like Ten56., with industrial and apocalyptic atmospheres
• Post-hardcore and punk hardcore: Local bands like Yarotz, fusing dark post-metal melodies and punk energy
• Thrash metal: International bands like Nervosa, representing the Brazilian metal scene

More Than Just a Concert

The Warm Up Tour is not limited to concerts. The event offers:

• Air guitar contest with Hellfest passes at stake
• Free temporary tattoos in Hellfest colors
• Interactive photobooth to immortalize the evening

Road to Infernopolis

Under the slogan “Road to Infernopolis”, the Warm Up Tour creates a community of fans who share the Hellfest vibe in French concert venues, while waiting for the big event in Clisson in June. The Biarritz stop systematically sells out, demonstrating the vitality of the metal scene in the Basque Country.
