Introducing the Hellfest x Ashdown HBS-40 Portable Speaker
This year, Ashdown is turning up the volume, literally and figuratively, with a thunderous new collaboration that embodies the spirit of live music and festival energy: the HBS-40 Bluetooth Speaker, born from our alliance with Hellfest, France's legendary heavy music festival.
Ashdown Meets Hellfest: A Fusion of Power and Passion
Held each year in Clisson, France, it's one of Europe's premier destinations for rock, metal, and punk fans. With lineups that include Metalica, Iron Maiden, Tool and Judas Priest, Hellfest isn't just a gig, it's an immersive experience.
We have long admired the passion, community, and sheer raw energy of Hellfest, and we're thrilled to be returning this year. But we are not coming empty handed.
This time, we're bringing a speaker built to honour the power of live performance.
