Graspop Metal Meeting 2025

When did Gojira become such a global headliner? Spotify has them with 2m listeners, that's not..... much. Ice Nine Kills has more and they don't headline anything. Marilyn Manson has 4 times as many and still would not be one of the two headliners.
I mean they're fine, but neither are they huge nor a long lasting cult band like Machine Head. The Olympia performance didn't turn them into the next Judas Priest.
Spotify streams really don't mean shit. You need more info than that to compare bands, like location for example. French and Dutch bands will obviously be bigger in Belgium than in the USA. If Gojira is not popular in the USA then their Spotify streams will be a lot lower, but it says nothing about their popularity in Belgium.

Even before the olympics thing they were already headlining Graspop and Hellfest, but obviously it made them even more popular.
Gojira is indeed no Judas Priest, because Gojira as a band is still increasing in popularity but Judas Priest is not. Obiously they have the legacy status and nobody can take that away from them, but they are by no means an up and coming band.

Probably their stellar performances the last years.
Spotify listeners isnt the best reference to determine spots on the timetable.
Dedication over the years and quality certainly are.
 
Gojira has more listeners then within temptation, so let's focus on why that band should headline 😉 Or to why Machine Head should, They are American and even come to half of the listeners then Gojira.

Spotify luisteraars zegt niks. Gojira is gewoon een nieuwe headliner en over 30 jaar voeren wij deze discussie nog steeds, maar dan met Gojira als de legacy act.

We gaan niet eeuwig het kunnen doen met Maiden, Priest en Scorpions (al mogen die laatste twee best nog een keer komen van mij natuurlijk). Net zoals we het niet eeuwig gaan kunnen doen met Gojira, PWD en Ghost, maar dat is gelukkig weer een probleem voor over een jaar of 30.
