Graspop 2023

[Archi]

Nothing about Graspop yet? Taking place on 16-17-18 June, the usual weekend.

Seems obvious SlipKnot will headline it. What are the chances to see the headliners cancelled from 2020-2021-2022 like Aerosmith, System Of A Down, Faith No More, Avenged Sevenfold? 

I think we gonna have something like this.

Friday
Main Stage 1 : Ghost - Hollywood Vampires - Halestorm.
Main Stage 2 : Avenged Sevenfold - Disturbed - In Flames.

Saturday
Main Stage 1 : SlipKnot - Lamb Of God - Trivium.
Main Stage 2 : Parkway Drive - Architects - Electric Callboy.

Sunday
Main Stage 1 : Mötley Crüe - Def Leppard - Poison. 
Main Stage 2 : Bring Me The Horizon - Limp Bizkit - Sum 41.

Slipknot most likely for this.

Others a very hard guess at the moment. Dont think SOAD will be out next year. 

[The Black]

This clashfinder provides a very well-educated guess imo:

Disturbed might be a candidate due to new music. Behemoth seem to be a good guess as well. Trivium have been confirmed for a festival in August, which may mean they're playing Alcatraz instead of Graspop.

Could Metallica be potential candidates?

Hmmm...In terms of names that will be available, maybe yes. In terms of scheduling, I find it a bit off. I don't think they would place Blind Guardian or Turnstile on the pre-festival day. Bands like Solstafir, Meshuggah, Deafheaven, probably belong to the Marquee while bands like Ugly Kid Joe to the Metal dome. All that is non important for now of course...

I would also add/wish for some bands that weren't there in '22 like: Katatonia, Swallow the Sun, The Ocean, Igorrr, Insomnium, Vola, Tesseract, Leprous.

For SOAD, if they tour next summer, I see them more at Rock Werchter than Graspop.

Apologies if a thread already exists but it looks like news is imminent!

Confirmed 4 days again for this year, makes me wonder if they’ve done what Download appear to be doing and have gone for the double Metallica headline set? Or indeed if they’ve got 4 different headliners. Imagine Slipknot are nailed on, would also expect Def Leppard/Motley Crue for one night if the Hellfest rumours are real

I don't know about Graspop, but have heard there's substance to Def Leppard/ Motley Crue touring in Europe around that time. 

[Death By Sexy 2.0]

Motley Crue will make an announcement this Thursday. 

[Andrej]

How big are Motley Crue in Europe really? What type of venues can they do on their own over here?

[Archi]

There's already a topic about Graspop: 

It's hard to know exactly how big Mötley Crüe are in 2022. But It's also hard to imagine them at another spot than headliner on festivals like Graspop I think...

Arenas and headliner on festivals.

Never listened to a motley crew song.

 

Put on kickstart my heart from 2022 live on YouTube. It is hilarious. Comments are great as well.

Sounds like the south park Japanese songs

4 days again? I thought it was only 3 next edition?

NOT THAT I'M UPSET ABOUT THAT! BRING ON GMM 2023

[SweetJesus]

First date for Motley Crue and Def Leppard is leaked, but quickly deleted

Def Leppard and Motley Crue co-headlining the Sunday 

[TheMofessor]

Motley Crue and Deff Leppard headline the Sunday

[Floyd_Ams]

It was expected but at least they put them on Sunday. Like last year with Sabaton, after 4 days of non-stop music, I'm alright with skipping the headliners and grabbing a couple of beers at the classic rock cafe instead, before heading quietly back to the camp.

Btw...There are two different topics for Graspop '23. It'd be nicer to keep the discussion in just one 😉

It was Aerosmith + Sabaton at first I think

[Floyd_Ams]

No Sabaton replaced Aerosmith after they canceled their tour.

[Archi]

Not a surprise to see them at Graspop. But surprise they are not on the same stage. Too bad. 

The Sweden Rock also announced their first names: Motley Crue/Def Leppard on the 7th, Iron Maiden on the 9th and Ghost on the 10th. I guess the last headliner is a band that hasn't announced anything yet. If it was SlipKnot per example, I don't see why they wait. 

[Floyd_Ams]

I expect SlipKnot to be there. Probably Ghost too. I guess they plan to announce the headliners in batches leading to the start of the ticket sales. 

[49Lawson]

I would have said the missing headliner was Metallica but they seem to be doing 2 nights at Download so that rule them out of Sweden Rocks. GNR perhaps?

Trondheim Rocks have added Alter Bridge into the mix too so I think we can add them as a likely sub for this
