What bad experience did Graspop have with Motley Crue?

Bob Schoenmaekers, the man who is coordinating the program of Graspop, said in multiple interviews that one of his dreams was booking Motley Crue. In 2009 it happened, but they were not professional (Vince Neill arrived drunk), really crashed the backstage (old school), had problems with Graspop crew... and their show was not that good. 

Never again he said.

Think they will play Groez

They play Brussels on April 16th. Impossible to play Groezrock after and got the information the festival won't be happening again in 2020.

I think PWD will make a break after the shows in April and won't come back in Europe before they finish the new album. Reverence In 2018, Ire in 2015, Atlas in 2012... new one in 2021 I guess. Early May, after their short run in Europe, Reverence will be 2 years old. Enough to focus on a 7th album. They made festivals in June 2018, June 2019, August 2019, that's enough.

Why not Rammstein as a headliner? When you view the tour dates, you see that all performances up to and including the performance in Ostend are sold out on 10 June. Afterwards they have 3 performances in UK (14, 17 and 20/6) and on June 24 they play in Nijmegen. So it is possible on Friday 19/6 or Sunday 21/6, on condition that they leave their tower and the main part of their equipement ... The performance in Ostend is not organized by Live Nation, but by Greenhouse Talent.

They don't seem to play ANY festivals next year, but I expect them for 2021.

Volbeat just got announced for Download, so chance of playing Graspop?

It's 50/50 (even before the Download announcement). Rumors send them to Werchter as they've a huge success in Belgium. If not at RW, they'll be back - again - at GMM.

No Volbeat for Graspop normally. I’ve expected them there but their agent wants to do something else next summer.

Something else. Like a Volbeat headlining open air show? Or maybe a Knotfest with Volbeat on it? :)

My bet is Lokerse Feesten.

It wouldn't make any sense. The capacity of the festival (15k) is smaller than the SportPaleis where they played a few days ago (20k). In Belgium, they've the size to headline Graspop, co-headline Werchter, headline Pukkelpop. Not smaller festivals like Alcatraz or Lokerse Feesten.

Was surprised to see Metallica announced to a festival in May, does that relaunch any rumor of them being around in EU next summer, and would that included Graspop or RW ? I'd love to see them !

Are you speaking about the festival in USA? The band announced it already a few weeks ago. They gonna play 2 shows at 5 festivals during the Summer. Those festivals are from May to September. Each show will have a different set-list. I'd really surprised if Metallica come in Europe this Summer. Chance are 0.1% in my opinion.

    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
