The pre-order platform “Cashless 2016” is open.  We remind you that since 2015, the Hellfest replaced the historical “tokens” by a magnetic card system named Cashless. This card allows you to buy your drinks on the festival and to buy food at our 3 “Hellfest snack” spots.  You can’t use your cahsless system on our Extrem Market / hellfest merchandise or any others stands.

Important to note that this year we’ve improved that system ; you can now credit your Cashless card in 1, 2 or 3 times but you can also associate your Cashless card to your online account on the Hellfest’s application to credit it and easily consult your balance. We invite you to consult our platform if you want to learn more about the Cashless system and to be informed of what’s new : www...
