Hard Rock Hell is a three day music festival held at Vauxhall Holiday resort, Great Yarmouth. It was previously held at Hafan y Môr Holiday Park, Pwllheli, Gwynedd, North Wales, and up until 2011 at Pontin's Holiday Village, Prestatyn, Wales. Holding the festival in a holiday camp gives the organisers pre-built venues and stages and because of the on-site accommodation allows them to hold a multi day festival over winter/spring months when outdoor camping is not desirable. The first edition of the festival was held at Butlins Holiday Camp, Minehead, England, but the festival relocated to its current location in 2008.

Hard Rock Hell XI: Knights of the Dark Order

Airbourne, Black Star Riders, Dee Snider, Idlewar, Y&T, Lynch Mob, The New Roses and Tyketto, along with home grown talent including Bad Touch, Gun, Buffalo Summer, Chasing Dragons and Wayward Sons rocked the masses at Hard Rock Hell XI, which was held at Camp HRH in Pwllheli, North Wales.

Saturday night headliners Black Star Riders describe themselves as "lifers in an industry less secure than a secret in a soap opera." Formed from recent members of Thin Lizzy, Black Star Riders have been described as the next step in the evolution of the legendary band.

The Graveltones are a crowd-rousing two-piece heavy blues/rock and roll band, influenced by great artists such as Captain Beefheart, John Lee Hooker and Queens of The Stone Age.

Wayward Sons were formed last year[when?] by Toby Jepson (former frontman of GUN and Little Angels). "I feel I have unfinished business," Toby explained, "stories still left to tell, points to make, noise to create; all of the above." HRH XI is proud to present this established artist’s latest project.

Other acts joining the festival’s super tasty line-up include Toseland, Swiss rockers Sideburn, the big bluesy Southern-tinged rock of Buffalo Summer, psych rockers Goldray, and the descendants of Taint: Hark and the powerful three piece from California Idlewa, Dead City Ruins, Bad Touch, Western Sand, The Blanko, The Brink, King Creature, Black Whiskey, Wicked Stone, Those Damn Crows, King Breaker, Kikamora, Blind River, Chasing Dragons, Bad Dog, Killit, and Beth Blade & the Beautiful Disasters.

These artists join acts already announced for HRH XI: Dee Snider, Airbourne, Reef, Lynch Mob, Y&T, Tyketto, GUN, Von Hertzen Brothers, Black Aces, Burnt Out Wreck, The New Roses, Syron Vanes, Killcode, Florence Black, Syteria, The Jokers, Fire Red Empress, The Cut, and Louder Still.
