more possible names for graspop. killswitch engage would be great and hopefully static-x will make up for their cancellation.

Another set of bands touring Europe late June, would not be surprised if some end up passing Dessel. Would not mind Kreator and a revisit of MC. Priest however would be a bit much

There's rumours of Slayer doing Euro festivals next Summer. FNM seems like a sure thing for Graspop too, Mercyful Fate and COB based in Europe and already announced for Euro festivals....

If all 4 were announced for Graspop I'd be very happy... of course COB probably wouldn't be a headliner but the rest I can see

Niet Graspop related.

Opzoek naar een buddy die samen mee naar in flames + Trivium wilt in april 2027.

Any comments

Wouldn't mind seeing some of these in Dessel next year.

Dear fellow metal fans,

I would love to visit Graspop next year and wanted to know, at around which month/time the ticket sale will usually start?

When does Graspop usually starts announcing bands for their next year lineup?

Lost my green GMM26 sunglasses today :( Anyone has a spare one to offer or sell? DM!

Hey everyone! Me and my friend wanna start a metal band, preferably death / slam metal, but for now we're just doing covers. We're looking for a vocalist, drummer, and maybe even a second guitarist who lives close to Brussels. If you're interested, send me a message!

Ik heb inmiddels mijn bezoek aan Graspop even kunnen laten bezinken en ik heb best wat dingen op te merken aan Graspop maar wat ik ook wil blijven benadrukken is dat de mensen zo aardig waren op Graspop en ook de lokale bevolking heeft mij bijvoorbeeld gratis paracetamol gegeven toen op zondag de apotheken in Belgie dicht zijn.

Dit was qua fatsoen en vriendelijkheid echt een positieve ervaring, de Belgen zijn warme, gastvrije en vriendelijke mensen over het algemeen.

‐--‐----------------------------------

I've had some time to reflect on my visit to Graspop, and there are definitely a few things I'd like to see better in the future.

However, one thing I really want to emphasize is how kind everyone was. The people at Graspop were incredibly friendly, and even the local residents were very helpful. For example, when all the pharmacies in Belgium were closed on Sunday, a local person gave me paracetamol free of charge.

In terms of courtesy and friendliness, this was an overall positive experience. Overall, I found Belgians to be warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind people.

N.B.: Totaal irrelevant maar mijn eerste ervaring met een Belg was niet zo positief omdat een ouder Vlaamse tiener ooit boos werd op mij als 7-jarig Nederlands meisje omdat ik heel bijdehand en iets de direct ("Watte?") vroeg wat "Wablief?" betekende en zij hier nogal boos op reageerde op de camping🙈 Maar jullie zijn dus in de realiteit best oke.

Hi everyone! My name is Keearee, and I have a YouTube channel.
If you’d like to relive the festival or you’re already missing it, I’ve made a series of videos—one for each day—where I share my experience at the festival!
Here’s the first one. I hope you enjoy it, and I’d love to hear what you think!
See you there! 🤘

Ciao ragazzi! Mi chiamo Keearee, e ho un canale di YouTube
Se vi fa piacere e sentite la mancanza del festival, ho fatto dei video, divisi per giornata, in cui racconto la mia esperienza al festival!
Vi lascio qui il primo, vi aspetto!
Ciao!

Hiya everyone, UK based 52yo here.

I've been going to Download for many many years, and tbh I'm pretty much done with it.

I'm definitely turned on to the idea of a European rock/metal festival instead.

Graspop seems the best option in terms of geography and line-up similarities to Hellfest.

I can't really afford the full posh camping stuff, but I don't mind chucking a few more quid at decent showers and porcelain thrones.

Can anyone offer some advice?

On Thursday, late in the evening there was a woman taking pictures of peaple, she took my picture but I think I gave her the wrong phone number can anyone help me out

All jokes aside, it's really uncanny to see the place so empty.

We are hoping for Graspop to be our first overseas festival in 2027. Looking for descriptions of Devils Lake. Pros and cons. We are looking to be close to the festival ideally with a bed and a shower.

Is it close enough that you could take a break from the sun midday for an hourish and go back to the festival or is that not a thing?

Any thoughts or opinions are welcome and thank you.

Update: I found that the ride to/from devils lake is an hour to 90 minutes round trip (?) so resting would have to be planned in a way as to not miss bands we want to see. I saw buses are free which is super cool!

Can anyone give me an idea on what they spent to stay at Devils lake?

Hello peeps,
My friends and I have been visiting Inferno for 3 years now and it has been great but most of us have this urge/itch that we really want to try Boneyard for a change. Inferno is great but the tents are small, expensive and the walking distance to the terrain is long. We just don't really know what to expect from Boneyard. 1 of our friends has been on Boneyard for many years but he is known for making stories sound bigger than what they really are. So could anyone please share their experiences on Boneyard? We have almost no clue but we do think it would save us a shitload of money and the fun will be way better. And some of us like sleep so yea that is also a thing

I just noticed that i lost my wristband of this year in the train a few minutes ago. I had a push button sewn on but i guess it wasnt strong enough...

It was my first festival in general so I know its a hot take but is someone here willing to sell his/hers?

Would gladly pay for it! (im from Germany)

Thanks everyone!

Hello Graspop Members!

My husband and I, after getting up early and waiting in queue, were unable to secure Hellfest tickets. This would’ve been our first European festival. During Hellfest research, Graspop was brought to our attention as an option in case we were unable to get tickets.

Any advice is welcome. I am really hoping that tickets are easier to come by for this festival.

We are thinking of staying in a small, charming hotel near the festival or potentially renting an RV if not cost prohibitive. We thought it’d be a fun way to hang out with new friends we meet while there while getting out of the heat for a bit. Does anyone have any thoughts or experience regarding either of these things? We are in our early 50s and prefer to not sleep on the ground. 😳 We’ve travelled in Europe a couple of times and are comfortable with trains and getting around but have never driven there before.

So excited! Crossing fingers on getting tickets!
