Graspop 2020

still very apparent that the friday is the weakest day. was hoping to see mastodon, 3 doors down, etc on that day. Also some strange positions in the metalcore genre. Porbably because some of these names were more recently booked than others?

 

Wage war being booked lower than crystal lake while crystal lake supports wage war on tour for example. chelsea grin being booked at a way too high spot in regards to the tickets that band brings in. Northlane also booked too low , that band is bigger than chelsea grin and suicide silence nowadays.

Friday is still short a few logo bands. Very surprised that Nightwish weren't announced - this makes me think that they are being held back and could be a headline possibility for 2021. Maybe FFDP and Saxon to come?

 

 

I think that would be the case if they started to sell more tickets, but them not being able to sell out lotto arena is telling to me. I'd love to see a nightwish headline with the stipulation that the day itself has a very strong program but I think they're just a tad short of being headliner at this point. Maybe with a strong new album that could change.

Aerosmith were supposed to play on Friday like said Kent a few times last year. Big headliner, cheapest day. But now it makes a really weak day... with one again a Super Sunday like in 2018. But I think we'll still have a big name for Friday. If we don't count the 2 Belgian bands for the Red Bull Metal Dome on Thursday, there are only 8 bands left to announce. They won't do a small announce with 8 middle/small bands next month. I still hope Nightwish as MS2 headliner on Friday! Even if I'd prefer a more rare band at the festival like Bring Me The Horizon: they could fit so well with BabyMetal and Enter Shikari on the same stage. Maybe Gojira if they don't play at Werchter? Anyway it wouldn't make any sense to get a last announcement without important names.

Iron Maiden are not going to be at Graspop 2021: https://ironmaiden.com/news/article/legacy-of-the-beast-touring-update-2020-21

I've seen Iron Maiden once and I think that is enough. But I think a lot of Graspop goers will be dissapointed with this news. 

Graspop is billed as a 4-day fest next year, I wonder who will replace them? And what about the Friday, which is a bit weak at the top due to a lot of people?

It could Guns N Roses or, hopefully, a younger headliner. In 2018, Avenged Sevenfold wasn't headliner. Maybe they could be again in 2021 and with a strong line-up. Or maybe the time for Sabaton to headline Graspop?

They headlined like 3 times already?

Sabaton never headlined Graspop. They headlined the Main Stage 2 in 2014, 2017 and 2019. But never as main headliner of the day. These 3 times, the headliner was Avenged Sevenfold, Scorpions and Kiss.

Their last show in Belgium was at Sportpaleis (not in full format) but it's still really big. With a good line-up around them, they can finally be the real headliner at Graspop I think. Same with Ghost. Both will headline the festival soon.

Ghost is a future headliner for them. Parkway Drive too.

Iron Maiden will be back soon enough. As usual. 2022 focus on festivals with a new tour? That will be the case I think.

Do you know if they already thought about BMTH as headliner too?

    • 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. 🙂
