Lyrical flights of fancy, powerful riffs and electronic sounds – the Within Temptation concert is one of the highlights of Hellfest 2025. And hovering above it all is the incomparable voice of Sharon den Adel. Anyone who claims metal isn't elegant has clearly never heard Within Temptation : First-class vocals, melodies that are both dark and catchy, and sophisticated imagery make them an exceptional phenomenon in extreme music.

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"

Striving for validation. Let’s be frank….we ALL want to be successful.

However, what occurs when those whom we initially put our trust in suddenly become a burden instead of a boon? Do we falter under the weight of rejection? Or STAND UP for WHO WE ARE?
Netflix’s Shadow and Bone has a complicated relationship with race. It has a diverse cast, but not without its problems. Based on Leigh Bardugo’s two book series, the show features characters from the Shadow and Bone trilogy, which is very straight and white, and the Six of Crows duology, which is much more diverse.
