Festival director Jeppe Nissen says:
It’s an absolutely gigantic honour for us to present such a big band for the COPENHELL audience. People have yearned for the festival experience for years now and they have kept their tickets, trusting us to make a great comeback. And now we do it with the greatest band in the history of rock and metal and with one of the strongest Danish festival posters ever!”
”COPENHELL has gone through an amazing development since the beginning in 2010. Today, we have one of Europe’s strongest line-ups , and we continue to stand by our core values and focus on great experiences, lots of variety and depth as well as the unique COPENHELL atmosphere, thanks to our incredible audience. The historic 2022 festival poster is a manifest indication of the great need for a festival dedicated to hard rock and heavy metal in Denmark, and we are immensely proud of looking forward to our best festival ever next year.”
METALLICA will perform on Wednesday, June 15, 2022. This means that the festival’s ’warm-up day’ will become a full festival day and that COPENHELL turns into a 4-day festival next year. See more here!
