15 YEARS IN HELL – ALL STAR SHOW

COPENHELL’s 15th anniversary will be much more than a new festival song, as we can also reveal that Friday’s headline show on the Helvíti stage will be an entirely special all-star anniversary concert. A large number of Denmark’s finest musicians will take the stage together, crossing both geography and genres in a unique concert format that can only be experienced at COPENHELL 2026.

“From the very beginning, it has been essential to COPENHELL to gather and elevate the entire Danish heavy music scene. We’ve been doing that since 2010, and we cemented it with our 10th anniversary show on the Hades stage. Now we’re stepping it up a gear with the 15th anniversary show in 2026, taking place on the festival’s main stage on Friday evening. It will be a completely unique one-off performance, embracing the full spectrum – from brand new musicians to legends, and across every corner of every genre. The all-star show will be a tribute to the hard work and high quality of the Danish music scene, and at the same time a tribute to the community and togetherness that characterises the entire Danish heavy scene and its audience. COPENHELL’s guests can start looking forward to a wild concert with full-on sound, flames and fireworks!”, says festival director Jeppe Nissen.

Musicians confirmed so far include:

Tim Christensen (Dizzy Mizz Lizzy), Allan Tschicaja (Pretty Maids), Lars Evers (Bersærk), Casper Popp, Nicklas Sonne (Defecto), Rasmus G. Sejersen (LLNN, John Cxnnor), Ketil G. Sejersen (LLNN, John Cxnnor), Kai Uwe Faust and Kriigerkvlt (Heilung), Marika Hyldmar (Xenoblight), Thomas Burø (Lack), Asger Mygind (VOLA) and Soren Andersen (Glenn Hughes and others).

A handful of international musicians will also appear in the show, among others Linnea Vikström (Thundermother) and Gus G (Firewind, Ozzy Osbourne).

We will continuously announce many more participants as well as a number of the songs they will perform – and John Cxnnor and The Doom Squad will, of course, also perform “HellWalkers” live during the concert.
