FULL LINE-UP FOR 15 YEARS IN HELL

COPENHELL reveals the complete line-up for Friday’s 15 Years In Hell anniversary show featuring musicians from the bands Ashes of Billy, Baby In Vain, BAEST, Bersærk, Cabal, Czar, Defecto, Dizzy Mizz Lizzy, Eyes, HateSphere, Invocator, JOHN CXNNOR, Konvent, Kriigerkvlt, Lack, MØL, NECKBREAKKER, Pretty Maids, ROT AWAY, SKARNET, Soren Andersen, SYL, VOLA, Vulvatorious and many more.

Ever since the announcement of Friday’s 15 Years In Hell anniversary concert, COPENHELL has been working hard to find the right line-up and, not least, an exciting selection of songs for the show. The work has primarily focused on assembling a line-up that covers as many corners of the heavy Danish music scene as possible.

We have ended up with more than 40 artists from Danish bands, spanning both genres and generations, with guest appearances by Joey Belladonna (Anthrax), Linnéa Vikström Egg (Thundermother), Gus G (Firewind/Ozzy Osbourne) and Morten Løwe (Amaranthe), who will perform great classics from rock and metal history together at COPENHELL 2026.

The anniversary show is structured as a concert in five acts, each with its own rhythm section and a continuous rotation of guitarists, bassists and vocalists. One of the groups, for example, is based around the Danish heavy metal scene with Anton Hajn on drums, Svend Sværd (BAEST) on lead guitar and Jacob Hansen (Invocator/Asinhell) on bass, flanked by Pepe (HateSphere) and Tue Madsen (Grope) on rhythm guitar, alongside Ditte Krøyer (Vulvatorious/KRØYER), Emma Acs, Simon Lindemann Olsen (BAEST) and Andreas Bjulver (Cabal) – performing Slipknot’s Psychosocial and Pantera’s A New Level.

The concert is a tribute to the greatest artists both living and deceased, spanning the entire history of heavy rock – from Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne classics such as Paranoid and No More Tears to an absolutely ferocious rendition of Beastie Boys’ Sabotage with Victor Kaas (Eyes) and Benjamin Clemens (SYL) – two bands that tore apart COPENHELL’s Pandæmonium stage together last year – on vocals, Lola Hammerich (Baby In Vain) on guitar, Ole Schwartz (ROT AWAY) on bass, Anton Hajn on drums and scratching from DJ Noize.

The 15 Years In Hell concert is also a tribute to the flourishing heavy Danish music scene, which has historically not always collaborated across genres and regions, but which is today full of exciting collaborative projects and driven by a strong sense of community.

COPENHELL is the perfect place to bring so many people together for a unique concert, and we hope that the festival’s audience will give a truly warm welcome to the army of artists who are burning to create a truly special experience.

Nyt Liv, who released the song Hårde Tider on COPENHELL’s 10 Years In Hell EP will also celebrate the anniversary with a special concert on the Boneyard stage on the same day at 19:45. The band has new music in the pipeline, and this concert will feature special guests Jacob Krogholt, Esben ”Esse” Elnegaard and Morten Grønnegaard on the stage!
