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?

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
