No Metallica in Graspop: https://www.metallica.com/tour/

If you some of you had still hopes for Metallica.. They are in Sweden during the Graspop.

Maybe System Of A Down could finally be there on Friday. 

Even if SOAD decide to come to EU next summer (highly unlikely) it will probably be for Werchter.

[SweetJesus]

Good news for me. I’m a big fan of Metallica, but I watched them on last three tours, so I prefer Kiss & GNR on Graspop!

[SweetJesus]

And also we can rule out (probably) Metallica from any other festival in next years

Will more shows be added to the tour?
No. There are no plans to add additional headlining shows to the schedule for the next two years; the band may make very limited appearances at special events.

I am not so sure - I understand there will be no additional solo headline shows, but festival appearances (aka special events) are possible. I guess the tour timeline suggests RAR/RIP, potentially other LN owned festivals. Anyway, we'll see soon

🤔ominous for Graspop 

[Archi]

Kiss on Thursday and Guns N Roses on Friday seems sadly the most realistic option right now...

[The Black]

Evanescence seem like a possibility as well, or am I mistaken?

[Archi]

Well. It won't be Kiss. They gonna play in Brussels on June 13th...

Avenged Sevenfold announced for Welcome to Rockville in USA in May.

Could be the last headliner for Graspop with GNR?

My first thought as well when I seen them. Was wondering if it will also be linked to Hellfest announcing tomorrow.
 

I’m actually in Florida when that WTR Festival is on; would be rude not to check out a day or two there really…

Canvas Hut bought via ticketswap 🤘 That’s a fuckin’ relief.

 

[Archi]

Still nothing about the last 2 headliners here. I'm really surprised Guns N Roses have only announced 1 show so far for this Summer (London). Curious to see when/who we gonna have... But, at least, tickets seems to sell well. The Saturday is already soldout. 

[Floyd_Ams]

I expect GnR to be one of the two missing headliners here, they've been waiting for them to announce their tour probably, it shouldn't take long now. For the second headliner...(the usual) KISS? BMTH? A7x?

[Nicklord]

Kiss is out because they have a show in Belgium like 3 days before. People thought Avenged Sevenfold are going to be the missing headliner but they didn't announce anything in Europe yet 

[Archi]

I can't imagine Graspop book a band like BMTH as headliner sadly. Or they move Ghost as main headliner and put BMTH as headliner of the second Main Stage. About Avenged Sevenfold, there aren't many festivals left with an opening slot for them. They announced a festival in the US for late May so it gave some people some hope to see them coming in Europe after that  but I think it's too late.

[Yyperi]

GNR should be 1 of the missing headliners.

But what about Faith No More as the other? I think it makes sense to wait until Patton is sure he's ready to tour with FNM.

[Archi]

A festival can't wait during months to know if an headliner will be able to tour or not... You won't see FNM in Europe in June.

jimmywe from festileaks, is he trustworthy? It looks like he said that news coming next week.

@Ken19can you tell us something about headliners?

Yes he is. 

[Archi]

New announcement from Resurrection Fest on Monday. Still one headliner missing there. Maybe an announcement - finally - for Graspop too? Fingers crossed.

[Archi]

They announced Parkway Drive as last headliner... so nothing new related to Graspop. Damn. 

[SweetJesus]

Could be related with Graspop announcement?

[Archi]

I guess so! I didn't expect this festival to happen again: such a short time to announce. Guns N Roses as headliners and announcement finally happening soon? I can imagine a band like Five Finger Death Punch as another headliner. Or Parkway Drive.
