Yeah, some switches, that happens.  Most important thing is that all these bands are coming to Graspop.    I'm reading all over the internet the craziest stories. The Graspopfans are re

Some serious sources on other forums said some of the shows on the fake RATM are real. But I guess they're not the mysterious headliner for Friday at Graspop, right @Ken19? If they're at Hellfest

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?

      Travelling to and from the site on a day ticket

      By TheFellaLondon · Posted

      Thanks so much - that's very helpful. Someone else mentioned getting a train from Loughborough to East Midlands Parkway, and then a festival shuttle from there to the site. I think they were then going to come back on the Skylink Derby to Loughborough - I assume this is because the trains don't run as late as the Skylink, otherwise they would just come back the same way they came?! Is the transport hub a long way from the main stage? Just wondering what time I would need to leave Linkin Park to be sure of getting a shuttle. As I say, I am sure it will all be clear on the day, even after a few beers! Just hope the rain stays away...

      Primavera Sound 2026

      By pipan · Posted

      I really don't think they would put Olivia Rodrigo on Occident stage. If it was her, they would put her in earlier Mordor slot and move Big Thief or Little Simz to Occident.   Fontaines DC are more probable, but don't really match the hype. However, again, if the hype was real, the artist would end up in Mordor.   That being said, I would love to see Fontaines DC tonight.

      Visiting the site outside the festival

      By phil the shrew · Posted

      After all the good advice on here I had a nice visit to the site earlier in the week.    Walked down from Pilton village to Hitchen Hill and down the footpath to the Wood by Woodies.    Really strange seeing the site empty of 100,000 people. There is far more hedges and woodland on the site than you remember when the festival is on. Can see the stone circle and some structures still up on site. And looks like Worthy View has some camping going on there during the summer too.   Lots was fenced off with electric fencing to help wth the cattle grazing. Is really amazing how they set up the site as its hard enough accessing the area by car and foot nevermind all the kit needed to set the festival up. As others said you can't walk the whole site but nice to see the site again after a few years away   Pilton is also a lovely village with a nice village hall shop and post office attached, and got to speak to some locals who told me a few tales of past festivals down the years. One house for sale there would be lovely to live in - if only I had £2 million going spare
