Graspop Metal Meeting
16 Jun - 19 Jun
Graspop Metal Meeting is metal and hard rock festival in Dessel, Belgium. The festival is one of the premier displays of metal, and thankfully returns in 2022 for its delayed 25th anniversary.
Graspop Metal Meeting lineup is huge presenting one of the biggest lineups of its kind in the world, hosting legendary acts like Iron Maiden, Aerosmith, Judas Priest, Deep Purple, Megadeth and Whitesnake, alongside modern behemoths Avenged Sevenfold, Deftones, Volbeat and more. There’s a valid reason why they’re calling it the ‘XL edition’ this year.
Every year tens of thousands of metal heads unite, with their fists in the air, to see their favourite legends of metal. This is some spine tingling, pit-smashing mayhem that no metalhead wants to miss.
