Schueremans told Pollstar that only 3,000 Friday tickets remained for Graspop Metal Meeting, scheduled to take place in the Belgian city of Dessel, June 16-19. For Rock Werchter, planned to take place in Werchter, Belgium, June 30-July 3, 18,000 of 146,000 multi-day and single-day tickets were still available at press time.
“I expect it to sell out by mid-February, and I’m hearing the same kinds of stories, especially in England, but also in the rest of Europe,” said Schueremans, who concluded, “we are finally at the end of the tunnel.”
