COPENHELL’s exclusive R.I.P. area is the eye of the storm in the middle of the wild festival site, half into the cosy forest by the Gehenna stage. Guests with a R.I.P. ticket will have free access to this area, which offers delicious food in unique surroundings, a wine bar and luxury cocktails that are not available elsewhere on the festival site, and not least lots of seating arrangements, lounge areas and excellent toilet facilities.
In 2025, you will get surprising experiences from the moment you step inside COPENHELL’s heaven in hell, and life in the R.I.P. area starts for good!
You can always go to the R.I.P. area’s very own infobooth, where a team is ready to help you get your goodiebag, get concert recommendations, as well as find food and other COPENHELL experiences.
Please note that festival guests with a R.I.P. wristband will get access to an elevated podium with a view of the Pandæmonium stage from within the R.I.P. area. During the festival, R.I.P. guests can also visit the R.I.P. infobooth and purchase access to a VIP power with a direct view of the festival’s main stage (Helvíti) – including free bar.
Please note that accredited R.I.P. guests will not receive a R.I.P. goodiebag.
R.I.P. Offers in 2025
R.I.P. Info Booth

Growling Workshop with Paula Befrits
We kick off the first two days of COPENHELL by learning how to growl dirty and brutal without wrecking your voice – so you can go all in at home, at concerts, at Openhell... or maybe in your own band?
Everyone can join, even if you’ve never growled before. It’ll be fun, fast-paced, and we’ll finish off by growling together as the fiercest roar-choir. Your growl instructor is Paula Befrits, who coaches singers and extreme vocalists from around the world.
COPENHELL has left its mark, and during the last two festival days, you can learn how to belt out fucking high notes without destroying your voice: Want to pour your brutal heart out singing like the iconic metal, rock, and punk vocalists? But you’re sick of being the embarrassing one in the pit, because your voice always cracks and sounds weak and off-key?
Then you can learn how to scream out high notes at full blast – and wake up the next morning with a fresh and beautiful voice.
Everyone can join, even if you’ve never sung before. We’ll end by singing together as the mightiest metal choir. Your vocal coach is Paula Befrits, who works daily with singers and extreme vocalists across the globe.
