Some of this year's bands have played at the festival before but none has been invited back purely for old times sake. Each and every band in the Helldone 2008 line-up has recently reached important milestones in their careers: be it a killer album, a breakthrough in new territories or a big tour. They all are alive, hungry, fast and furious. And definitely as cool as a December night in downtown Hellsinki.

Helldone 2008 marks the tenth anniversary of HIM's New Year's Eve shows at Tavastia Club - the tradition out of which the Helldone Festival was born. Each night there will be three top bands on the Tavastia stage, while the neighbouring venue Semifinal serves as a chill out zone with some familiar faces spinning records. HIM will traditionally start their set at midnight on New Year's Eve.
