Quite the same level between them and Aerosmith I think they'll keep 4-days event for the following years. It works well, they can book more bands, more headliners and it doesn't so much more works to build the festival as everything has already been ready (or almost) on Thursday the years before. So we could have "XXL" editions with 4 days but more classic headliners. No they are not. Iron Maiden means a loaded GraSpop field. Aerosmith not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archi Posted August 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 Important to note it's not the official event. It's from a page created this weekend, they've like 4-5 like... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not the feeling the organisers are in the mood to announce something during the summer break. Pearl Jam was an exception (but the band is the boss).

demontje Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 you mean Aerosmith 😛 @Ken19 Do you have an idea who will replace Iron Maiden? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demontje Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 I'm so excited for the first bunch of names 🤓 it is so quiet here :0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booster Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 I reckon it'll be very similar to the previous line-up, Maiden being replaced by SOAD, and just a couple of new names. (Based on no evidence whatsoever, FFDP and Evanescence, perhaps.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenouz Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) I think 80 to 90% of the 2020 line-up will return. I am curious which bands will fill the gaps of bands not returning. Could Nightwish be a possibility as they have rescheduled their European tour to may 2021? I hope we can expect some names before 15 september, so we can decide if we want to keep our ticket for next year or switch 😀 Edited September 9, 2020 by Ravenouz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archi Posted September 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 With Nightwish now playing Antwerp in May, there're 0% chance they play at Graspop. Evanescence have rescheduled their shows in Brussels in September, they'll tour in Europe all this month so I can't see them playing festivals 2 months before - even if indoor shows are selling well. Hopefully they'll announce names before September 15th indeed. Maybe some news for Rock Werchter on this Friday and for Graspop on Monday.

pete76 Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 Volbeat headlining on Thursday https://www.graspop.be/nl/nieuws/uitstel-is-geen-afstel-gmm-viert-feest-in-2021/244/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xydroh Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 @ken19 any chance guns n roses will be in a better mood 2021 and be the friday headliner? or do we need to think about something way different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archi Posted September 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) I guess System Of A Down will finally play Graspop too. Thursday MS1: Volbeat - Dropkick Murphys - Mastodon... MS2: Mercyful Fate - Gojira - P.O.D... Friday MS1: System Of A Down - Heaven Shall Burn - Alestorm... MS2: Faith No More - Powerwolf - Steel Panther... Saturday MS1: Judas Priest - Saxon - Foreigner... MS2: Korn - TBA - Down... Sunday MS1: Aerosmith - Deep Purple - Skillet... MS2: The Offspring - Deftones - Killswitch Engage... In the biggest acts, I guess we only miss the sub for Korn on Saturday and the headliner on Friday (System Of A Down). Sad the line-up of the Main Stage on Friday is a bit weird below the headliners. It remains me when they booked Rammstein with this old-school line-up around... We miss a band like Five Finger Death Punch or Alter Bridge in the higher spots or fresh bands like Babymetal and Enter Shikari in the afternoon.

Metalrockx Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 I think there is indeed a good chance that SOAD will be the missing headliner and that this was already arranged by Live Nation months ago, with the consequence that Iron Maiden moved to the Sportpaleis. That would be a very sensible move for Graspop's 25th anniversary, after all the nagging last year ... Red Hot Chili Peppers closes Werchter's Sunday. As a result, SOAD moves to another day or to GMM. Volbeat was scheduled for this metal Sunday with SOAD and is now playing on GMM. Why would they keep the Friday headliner a secret? Probably because they know this will hit like a bomb. SOAD plays in Lisbon on Wednesdays and at Hellfest on Sundays. All stars are favorable... https://www.bandsintown.com/a/54-system-of-a-down?came_from=257 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archi Posted October 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 What a weird time to announce new names... Tickets go on sale on Monday morning. - A Day To Remember - Amaranthe - Bullet For My Valentine - Bütcher - Creeper - Ihsahn - Megadeth - Monster Magnet - Perturbator - Spiritbox - Suicidal Tendencies - The Pretty Reckless 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booster Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 Weird that the last headliner hasn't been announced yet. Everything points towards SOAD, but why hold back announcing them if booked? I have in my mind that either (i) there's still a really big name in play (e.g. AC/DC, Metallica), or (ii) SOAD are booked, but not necessarily for the Friday - they could play on Thursday above Volbeat, or on Saturday above JP - and Friday will be a biggish name, my hunch being the Scorpions. Pure speculation on my part, but just rebooked flights, am feeling optimistic that this is going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This band is boring live and they should have stop touring since a while. And they're not bigger than System Of A Down. Volbeat are one of the favorite bands / most booked bands as headliners in the last decade. I don't see Graspop give them a co-headline. Hopefully, one day, we gonna have a proper poster of the line-up. If the confirmation of the last headliner has something to do with Rock Werchter like said @Ken19, I guess it's about Guns N Roses... even if I don't imagine them headlining RW in 2021.

Ravenouz Posted December 3, 2020 Report Share Posted December 3, 2020 Guns N Roses play in London on both friday and saturday of graspop. I don't see them coming. I think only System of a Down makes sense as the friday headliner. I can't think of anyone else. But we will see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
