Graspop Metal Meeting 2025

Denk dat we Volbeat en Within Temptation gewoon kunnen opschrijven en dan heb je nog maar twee namen nodig. Ik zet mijn geld in op Powerwolf en Falling in Reverse. Al mag een Disturbed ook in plaats van een van twee, zolang Powerwolf maar op het affiche staat.

Geen Powerwolf is een grote kans op voor het eerst naar Into The Grave voor mij.
Ik zeg, boek disturbed, deftones en zet ze bij Korn en we maken er een Nu-metal dag van :)

Powerwolf blijft sowieso touren tot augustus, dus dan is headliner op Alcatraz ook nog een optie.

Klopt, ben er lichtelijk bang voor, want dat is natuurlijk wel het type headliner dat daar nog ontbreekt. Maar ik hoop dat dat ene gaatje in hun schema gewoon Graspop wordt (Hellfest kan natuurlijk ook helaas). Powerwolf op de donderdag erbij zou gewoon super zijn
 
The main reason I wait impatiently for Graspop to release most of the undercard bands is to dig deeper on artist I'm less familiar with.
Had so much fun doing it for the last edition + I never had to think too much about what to listen to in the gym :)
Yes, that was so much fun.

Listening through every single band over months, then going deeper through the albums of the ones you like. And then when the timetable comes, trying to find priorities.

I gotta admit, due to the exhausting weather with its relentless rain and as I wasn't used to standing so much (office potato) I wasn't able to see all I wanted. Heck, I even had to skip Cooper and Tool. But all together I saw a lot, I found love for many new bands and next time I'll be much better prepared. Fitter, healthier, better food choices. This way I'll see even more next time, because it's such a joy to be there.

Every day I went like a joyful hobbit on a magic journey and every night I fell asleep beyond tired but happy. 2025 should be even better.
 
Er zijn blijkbaar wel al 3 bands bevestigd door hellfest zelf: Nervosa - Novelists & Skindred.
Deze doen een hellfest warm-up tour en in de aankondiging daarvan zijn ze ook bevestigd voor het festival zelf.

Now since we are done with the obvious ones and given the facts that:
1. There is a good overlap between Sweden Rock, Copenhell, and GMM
2. The promoters of the festival, Live nation, manage a few other festivals and band tours and would want to maximize on their existing relationships/engagements
3. There are a few bands that are already touring Europe around the festival dates
4. GMM would not want to repeat last year's bands giving priority to bands featured in 2023, before, or never before
it would be safe to assume that some of the bands from the following list would show up in the upcoming line-up announcements (in no particular order):
Sleep Token, Within Temptation, Powerwolf, Skillet, Airbourne, The Darkness, Weezer, Dream Theatre, Opeth, King Diamond, Orbit Culture, Exodus, Meshuggah, Apocalyptica, Jinjer, Kreator, Sex Pistols, Turbonegro, Alestorm, Halestorm, Lorna Shore, Old man's child, Whitechapel, Cattle Decapitation, Sepultura, In Flames, Orange Goblin, Soen, Monster Magnet, Architects, Clutch, Deftones, Steel Panther, Devin Townsend, Shinedown, Kadavar, Disturbed, Amaon Amarth, Alcest

Architects 3 editions in a row seems a bit excessive!
 
Ik vind het lastig om een top 3 te vormen.

Internationaal:
1. In Flames
2. Suicide Silence
3. Paleface Swiss

Mogen van mij gerust ook nog BFMV/Avatar bij.

Belgisch:
1. Hemelbestormer
2. Doodseskader
3. Wiegedood

Misschien een vreemde redenering. Maar till Lindemann brengt veel volk op de been. Volk die normaal niet altijd naar andere metal shows gaat. Voor de andere bands die mainstage spelen de zondag kan dit wel eens een kans zijn om een hoop nieuwe fans te maken. De vraag is alleen wat dit met de sfeer zal doen doorheen de dag. 2017 op de Rammstein dag was de sfeer zeker niet zoals andere dagen.

Yep. That is what I'm waiting for. I'm not even coming to Graspop next Summer, but I will listen to every band that is listed and trying to find new favourites and possibly catch them in some other place.

What kind of bands are you into? Perhaps we can tip you some new favourites :)
