Graspop 2020


Death By Sexy

Recommended Posts

I fully understand bands like SOAD and VOLBEAT who wants to play in the biggest crowd possible but it sucks for Graspop. They could have such a great line-up. Better than what they have now. 

Thursday: Iron Maiden - Alter Bridge - Mercyful Fate - Airbourne (shorter day).
Friday: Guns N Roses - Nightwish - Powerwolf - Steel Panther. 
Saturday: System Of A Down - Judas Priest - KoRn - Disturbed.
Sunday: Aerosmith - Deep Purple - The Offspring - Deftones.

But I understand the budget would be too much. Just sad.

I'm glad Gn'R aren't there this year. Saw them 2 years ago and was really disappointed. I do hope though that we get someone like Nightwish on the Friday and SOAD for Saturday as the 2 headliners are imo not headliners.

We have our 4 headliners : Iron Maiden, Faith No More, Judas Priest & Aerosmith :) 

System Of A Down won't be playing Graspop. About Nightwish, they see them as headliners for the Main Stage 2 on Friday. Ken almost confirmed they'll be there this year.

Here is the very big band. GNR. Finally it didn’t work out for Graspop. Too expensive I guess.

Was that the 'bigger than usual' headliner? Boy, did we bark at the wrong tree. People were already losing their mind over AC/DC, Metallica or Tool. Thanks for sharing this though

Please, I don't know what your job is or how high up the chain you are at Live Nation, but is there a chance Graspop would/could book Megadeth, Saxon or Avatar? That would trully make it an anniversary edition in my eyes :D

Looking at who else is playing European festivals June / July, the following could all be possibilities: Nightwish (as someone here has already said look nailed), Accept, Doro, L7, Venom, Suicidal Tendencies, Electric Wizard, BÖC and Diamond Head. Also around are Billy Talent and Royal Republic, but they may be better suited to RW.

I really can see Matodon happen. I can't believe they come to Europe for only one concert. 

Jinjer is already playing Ieper Hardcore Fest. 

Mastodon also at Sunstroke, Ireland

@Ken19 Do you have any idea when the next announcements are coming?

And why is it that they don't have a poster yet? Is it because they are still negotiating with a possible headliner, or just because they want to try something different this year?

seeing like that really goes to show how weak the friday is compared to all other days

...and yet seeing it like that as a whole makes me realise how much I'm looking forward to it. I'm already at 5-8 bands every day I want to see, inc. the Friday.

It is odd that they haven't filled in the gaps yet though, could be that they're waiting to see how ticket sales are going then spend the adjusted budget accordingly. Any other thoughts?

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
