Hellfest 2025: Latest Information Regarding the Reports About Till Lindemann

At this year’s Hellfest in Clisson, France (June 19–22, 2025), the French investigative outlet Mediapart reported allegations that young women were allegedly approached in the VIP area. These conversations were said to have been aimed at inviting the women to a post-show meeting at a hotel — supposedly to spend time with Till Lindemann.

Several sources claim that a former member of Lindemann’s touring staff may have been involved. Media reports mention Alena Makeeva, formerly known as the “Casting Director on Tour.” However, there has been no official confirmation that it was indeed her.

As early as 2023, some women had described uncomfortable experiences connected to aftershow parties. These statements led to public debate and an investigation in Berlin. However, the public prosecutor’s office later closed the case, finding no sufficient grounds for suspicion.

Reaction from the Hellfest Team

The festival organizers have since released a statement, emphasizing that they see themselves as event organizers, not moral authorities. The decision to invite Lindemann was made within that framework. They stressed that the safety of all guests is their top priority and that no reports or official complaints regarding inappropriate behavior were received during the festival.

At present, there has been no direct statement from Till Lindemann or his legal team regarding the recent reports. In previous instances, he had clearly denied similar allegations, maintaining that he had done nothing wrong.
