A filmed live concert by Pennywise at Hellfest Open Air 2026 in Clisson, captured and broadcast by ARTE Concert. A pillar of Californian punk rock since the late 1980s, the Hermosa Beach band built a simple, devastating formula — speed, melody, urgency and choruses made to be shouted in unison — inherited from Bad Religion, Black Flag and Descendents. Led by singer Jim Lindberg and guitarist Fletcher Dragge, the quartet delivers a compact, unifying full set before the crowd at France’s largest metal festival. ARTE’s multi-camera recording captures the contagious energy, circle pits and stage gimmicks of a band forged on the road. Beyond punk folklore, this filmed concert documents the consistency of a cult group whose anthem “Bro Hymn” remains a moment of communion. For fans of punk rock, skate punk and high-energy rock, this Clisson performance is a prime archive of a memorable Hellfest edition, served by ARTE Concert’s editorial quality.
