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?

    • 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
