Pretty fly for a white guy! Following the announcement of the first 105 acts we are pleased to confirm The Offspring as our next headliner for #GMM26. On Thursday 18 June, the Californian punk rockers will wrap up proceedings on the South Stage with a set chock-full of classics like ‘Self Esteem’, ‘Come Out and Play’ and ‘The Kids Aren’t Alright’.
With as many as 14 acts announced for #GMM26 earlier this week, we are now fleshing out the line-up with another 91(!) bands for the upcoming 29th edition of Graspop Metal Meeting. A Day to Remember, Alter Bridge, Anthrax, Black Label Society, Foreigner, Ice Nine Kills, Mastodon, Three Days Grace and Tom Morello are just a few of the heavy hitters that will grace the stage in Dessel next summer....

Volbeat will be closing out the South Stage. Twisted Sisterwill do the honours on the North Stage! We’re also adding Breaking Benjaminto the roster for the North Stage.

The first names for the 29th edition of Graspop Metal Meeting are here... are you ready? On Thursday 18 June, Limp Bizkit, Megadeth and Within Temptation will rule the festival arena at Graspop Metal Meeting! Limp Bizkit is headlining the North Stage on festival Thursday.

You’ve got another thing coming! With just Judas Priest and Till Lindemann to go, our annual metal high mass is reaching its apotheosis. Like last year, Graspop Metal Meeting experienced extreme weather but this time Graspop laboured under a scorching sun - perhaps to make up for last year’s deluge. Slipknot was just one of the bands that provided the perfect soundtrack for this reversal of fate.
Even after the announcement of Judas Priest and Nine Inch Nails, we keep charging full steam ahead with 28 new names for the line-up of #GMM25. Pirate metal heroes Alestorm, cartoon death metallers Dethklok and progressive metal masters Opeth are just a few of the artists that are coming to Dessel next June.
Here are the latest additions to the roster of #GMM25: Alcest, Alestorm, Blood Incantation, British Lion, Carcass,...
The new year brings a new headliner for #GMM25! On Saturday 21 June 2025, legendary American industrial rockers Nine Inch Nails will make their first GMM appearance. Helmed by mastermind Trent Reznor, the band has been pushing the boundaries of rock, electronica and industrial ever since its inception in 1988.
With trailblazing albums such as ‘The Downward Spiral’ and ‘With Teeth’ and iconic tracks like ‘Closer’, ‘Hurt’ and ‘Head...

What does this mean concretely?
First of all, no parking will be open on Wednesday. Graspop Metal Meeting will not be able to receive cars on Wednesday. Are you absolutely required to spend the night at the...
With a rousing evening schedule still ahead - Hollywood Vampires, Mötley Crüe and Def Leppard on the main stages, Kreator in the Marquee, Billy Talent on the Jupiler Stage and Monster Magnet in the Metal Dome to name but a few - the organisation can look back on yet another memorable and sold-out edition.
The festival grounds in Dessel welcomed 220,000 visitors for four full days of metal mayhem. True...
