Anthrax — Hellfest, 2026

Why this recording

Broadcast live by ARTE Concert on the night itself, 20 June 2026, this hour at Hellfest pins down the line-up around Scott Ian that year: Joey Belladonna on vocals, Jon Donais on guitar, Frank Bello on bass and Darby Todd on drums. The video's chapters run through nine songs, opening with Among the Living and closing with Indians. Two covers make the cut: Joe Jackson's Got the Time and Trust's Antisocial, played in front of the Clisson crowd. A tight festival slot, filmed by a broadcaster, that works as a snapshot of the band in the Cursum Perficio year.

Full live capture of Anthrax at Hellfest 2026, on the main stage of the Clisson festival, filmed and broadcast by ARTE Concert. Formed in New York in 1981 around guitarist Scott Ian, Anthrax is one of thrash metal’s « Big Four » alongside Metallica, Megadeth and Slayer. This live concert falls in the release year of the album Cursum Perficio, which closes a decade without a studio record, and the band uses the Hellfest stage to test the new material live. In front of the French festival crowd, Anthrax delivers a ferocious set blending fresh songs and New York classics, driven by Scott Ian’s trademark riffing — he remains the only founding member still on board. This full concert video immerses viewers in the raw energy of East Coast thrash, with breakdowns, crowd-shouted choruses and a relentless rhythm section. A valuable live document for fans of extreme metal and festival captures, showing a cult band in strong form more than forty years into its career. Filmed live concert with powerful sound and polished visuals by ARTE Concert at Hellfest.
