Wrong insider, dude knows nothing.

Pisser? He should changed his name in John Snow. As he knows nothing.

Not yet, 2 headliners to be announced, it would look kinda weak

Really solid line up that, but there’s nothing been announced that would pull me there that I’m not seeing at Download already. The other 2 headliners could change that of course…

Kiss/Metallica/GNR - one or two of them

I will say Kiss and Metallica

Cool announcement but anything very surprising. We could mention acts like Enter Shikari, booked in 2020 before Covid cancelled, but that's it. I guess we'll have a poster at least on Saturday. For the communication around ticket sales, they need it. And with 3 real headliners already announced like SlipKnot, Def Leppard and Motley Crue with other acts like Ghost, Parkway Drive and Gojira, it wouldn't look weak at all...

They increase their prices too: 119€ for 1 day and 299€ for the combi... Line-up is cool, got at least 10 bands to watch per day but nothing I've seen yet so don't think I'll go again for 4 days. But maybe on Saturday with the combo SlipKnot/Parkway Drive/Architects/The Ghost Inside...

[Nicklord]

I only don't have much to watch on thursday but I think I'll again do Graspop - Werchter combo. Just to pick a different city to stay in between instead of Amsterdam like we did this year

[SweetJesus]

Anyone from ex-yu countries been to Graspop? I need help about accomodation and some other stuff.

I've been from Belgrade. There's a cheap flight from Belgrade to Eindhoven. I camped so I can't help you much about accommodation but I don't think it's worth it to travel each day to and from the festival in general

We were thinking to break our Graspop-Werchter combo this year and try a different metal festival (Werchter is a must every year so tickets are already purchased) but now I see the lineup and...I don't know. That Saturday is a killer! Maybe we'll do just that one day. Or give up and buy a combi again 😂

If you haven't been there already, I'd recommend the Belgian Ardennes for a few days in between. If you are into great beer, nature and picturesque villages, it's paradise!

Lineup is so far best available in Europe, with the (hopefully temporary) exception of Download and the double Metallica set. Otherwise Sweden, Copenhell, RAR/RIP etc have a much weaker undercard. Where else would you go? 🙊

It's subjective. I take RAR/RIP lineup over GMM personally 🙂

Wow, I'm shocked, they have very few metal bands/overlap with Graspop, i would not go, such a weak set headliners and subs: DIE TOTEN HOSEN, MACHINE GUN KELLY, TENACIOUS D, APACHE 207, K.I.Z. plus weak undercard. 

i understand if you like it but then I'm sure Graspop was not really your thing.

[SweetJesus]

Anyone knows how long it takes for Canvas Hut in Inferno to sell out? Is it immediately or days/weeks/months?

 

[Yyperi]

There are only two huts left now.
 

[SweetJesus]

@Ken19 can you tell us something about last headliners? Kiss/Metallica/GNR?

[Archi]

With the many bands we have so far, I think we're missing:
- 1 headliner for Thursday (obviously)
- 1 headliner for Friday (obviously)
- 1 sub for Thursday
- 1 sub for Sunday

THURSDAY
SS: TBA - TBA.
NS: Ghost - Arch Enemy.

FRIDAY
SS: TBA - Disturbed.
NS: Gojira - Amon Amarth.

SATURDAY
SS: SlipKnot - Pantera.
NS: Parkway Drive - Architects.

SUNDAY
SS: Def Leppard - Hollywood Vampires.
NS: Mötley Crüe - TBA.

I guess one of the 2 subs will be Alter Bridge. With Guns N Roses on Thursday on the South Stage? Maybe System Of A Down could finally be there on Friday. And one more band on Sunday... sadly I didn't see Evanescence being added at Graspop anymore...
