Graspop 2024

Scorpions is always available... even if they did a farewell tour 10 year ago. Almost every year we could sadly have them. The only shows in EU they have announced so far are a festival the first weekend of July in Germany and the Wacken end of July. It doesn't make them sure for Graspop

About Machine Head, it would sound cheap to bring them as headliner again after bringing them as exclusive show this year so they are out. Parkway Drive and Pantera are both potential as they are in the area. I honestly prefer to see other bands than the same 2 years in a row. Even if I love Parkway Drive and their show was insane this year (as always)!

What about Sabaton?

It's the good year for them. In 2022, they replace kinda last-minute Aerosmith as headliner for the last day. In 2023, last May, they played a huge festival in the biggest arena of the country. I'd prefer to see Sabaton in 2024 instead of Scorpions (also played in 2022, replacement for Avenged Sevenfold)!

Thursday
SS: Tool - Jane's Addiction.
NS: Sum 41 - Dropkick Murphys.

Friday
SS: Five Finger Death Punch - Corey Taylor.
NS: Judas Priest - Megadeth.

Saturday:
SS: Bring Me The Horizon - Electric Callboy.
NS: Avenged Sevenfold - Limp Bizkit (?).

Sunday:
SS: Sabaton - Pantera.
NS: Deep Purple - Alice Cooper.

When the website admin hits "Enter" too soon:

"With Scorpions and Machine Head we are adding the headliners for Sunday to the line-up of #GMM24. Together with Tool, [ENTER BAND], Five Finger Death Punch, Judas Priest, Bring Me the Horizon and Avenged Sevenfold they will lay siege to Dessel in June 2024. Scorpions will close out the South Stage on Sunday 23 June and that same evening Machine Head will headline the North Stage. More confirmations for Graspop Metal Meeting 2024 will follow soon."

Damn... Scorpions again and MH again... So we're only missing 1 headliner for the 2nd Main Stage on Thursday. hopefully we gonna have more names before tickets sales on Saturday.

Yeah...Scorpions especially wasn't great news but on the bright side it will make it an easier way out. A last beer at Hard Rock Cafe (or watch them for a bit from afar depending on our energy levels) and then head to Inferno avoiding the crowds. 

I'm hoping for a big drop of names before Saturday. The undercard is Graspop's strong...card anyway!

I listened to the interview and I didn't hear he said tomorrow, just hear it was coming this week. He also confirms that this year was really hard to make the line-up because of the huge number of festivals in Europe. Honestly I don't expect any surprises, we surely gonna have only bands already announced somewhere else as so many festivals have already announced first names. Just hope enough great bands on Saturday next to BMTH and A7X.

Not gonna list 80 bands but I count on these acts in the announcement: 
Alice Cooper, Deftones, Electric Callboy, Dropkick Murphys, Megadeth, Bad Omens, Dimmu Borgir, Kreator, Body Count, BabyMetal, Bruce Dickinson, Biohazard, Rhapsody Of Fire, Hatebreed, While She Sleeps, Polyphia, Satyricon, Mudvayne, Bury Tomorrow, Kvelertak, Thy Art Is Murder, Fu Manchu, Malevolence, The Black Dahlia Murder, Brujeria, Silverstein, Atreyu, Counterparts, Fear Factory, Madball, Knosis, Erra, Shadow Of Intent, Bleed From Within, Oxymorrons, Nova Twins...

Add Cory Taylor and Skálmöld 😉

I'm assuming American bands don't want to announce things during Thanksgiving even if it's in Europe so I would guess tomorrow based on that as well

Damn, I forgot Corey! Thanks. And I didn't know Skalmöld but not a big fan of folk.

Me neither. They're just Icelandic so I kinda have to root for them😆

....plus the singer told me he expects them to play Graspop next year.

I’m guessing Deftones will be the other Thursday headliner then

You can add to those the self-confirmed Night Verses, Rotting Christ and Vltimas.

    • 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.
