Lyrical flights of fancy, powerful riffs and electronic sounds – the Within Temptation concert is one of the highlights of Hellfest 2025.

And in 2025, Within Temptation will once again transform Hellfest into a musical bloodbath! Setlist: "We Go to War", "Bleed Out", "In the Middle of the Night", "Angels", "Faster", "Paradise (What About Us?)", "Stand My Ground", "Wireless", "Supernova", "Don't Pray for Me", "Lost", "The Reckoning", "Ice Queen", "Our Solemn Hour", "Mother Earth"

Robert Westerholt and Sharon den Adel founded the Symphonic Metal band. Privately, the Dutch are a couple and have two children. The single Ice Queen brought them platinum and gold and helped in 2002 to international breakthrough. Characteristic of the band was initially the high vocals of frontwoman Sharon. Stylistically, the band started in Gothic Metal. With new sound, fast guitar riffs and guitar solos, Within Temptation has become a successful rock band. Also this year the band will carry their fans along again.

Recorded on August 19th 2022, at Flugplatz des Aeroclubs Dinkelsbühl, Dinkelsbühl, Germany.
