Hellfest West 2026, organized by Trustkill & SOS Booking, is set to take place at the Observatory in Santa Ana from Friday, February 20th to Saturday, February 21st, 2026.

Currently, the festival is set to be held inside the venue. However, with the anticipated number of festival-goers and the scale of this event, an indoor setting could lead to an overcrowded and uncomfortable environment. This petition aims to advocate for moving the festival to the fairgrounds outside the Observatory, which provides a much more spacious and accommodating setting.

Having the festival outdoors at the fairgrounds would not only enhance the overall experience 

We understand that there are logistical challenges in moving a festival of this magnitude outdoors. Nonetheless, other festivals have successfully relocated to outdoor venues to the applause and appreciation of their audiences. Should the organizers consider this move, they could avoid the risks associated with indoor overcrowding and provide the kind of memorable experience that festival-goers surely anticipate.

Let's make Hellfest West 2026 the best it can be by asking Trustkill & SOS Booking to host the event at the Observatory Fairgrounds instead. Sign this petition to voice your support for a safer, more enjoyable festival experience that takes full advantage of our beautiful Californian weather and the spacious fairgrounds that the Observatory has to offer.
