Hell's Heroes has named most of the acts for its 2027 edition, and the Houston festival put Overkill at the top of the list. The New Jersey thrash band are billed for an old school set, on a weekend running from March 18 to March 20 at White Oak Music Hall.
Metal Injection reported the lineup on August 18, 2026. This is the festival's ninth year, and organisers said a handful of names are still to be announced.
The other set drawing attention is Omen, playing their last show in the United States. A series of special guests is promised with them, and who those guests will be has not been shared.
Beherit, Armored Saint, Metal Church, Bulldozer and Exhumer sit near the top of the announced bill, with Gallowbraid, Titan Force, Thor and Steroid alongside them.
Below that come Hellwitch, Concillum, Thangorodium, Fire Magic, Fortress, Accuser and Woe Bather, then Wanted, Zorn, Street Tombs and Sacred Steel. Ebony Pendant, Show n Tell, Gudsforladt, Grozov, Living Fast and Coffin Hunters close out the 28 names released so far.
The weekend sits on the festival tracker with the other metal bills already booked a year out, among them Maryland Deathfest's 2027 additions and Bloodstock's 27-act first wave.
Those dates land in almost the same window as the 2026 edition, which had Enslaved, Voivod and 3 Inches of Blood on it. The weekend is all-ages, and passes are on sale now.
