France's 2011 Hellfest 1st announcement

With recent antipodean festivals, like the BDO, no sleep til tour and soundwave, working so many people into mild frenzies, I've forgotten what a real festival line up announcement is like- until I got an email from Hellfest with this: Remember the festival isn't until June next year and there are many more bands to  be added to the line up yet
