Graspop Metal Meeting is looking strong for 2018. Headliners are Guns N’ Roses, Iron Maiden, Volbeat and Ozzy Osbourne. Also on the bill are Avenged Sevenfold, Judas Priest, A Perfect Circle and Parkway Drive. Graspop Metal Meeting, uniquely a four-day event in 2018, takes place from Thursday 21 June to Sunday 24 June in Dessel, Belgium.

Stand-out additions to the bill include: Marilyn Manson, still strong last weekend in a packed Vorst Nationaal; Hollywood Vampires, the super group featuring Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp and Joe Perry, in Dessel for the first time; the first festival for the popular punk rockers Rise Against promoting their new album “Wolves”; and an exclusive festival show by Ayreon. GMM18 is the first and probably the last time the band will appear at a festival. Dutch composer, multi-instrumentalist and producer Arjen Lucassen brings along the full show for this exclusive performance, including visuals, pyrotechnics and more than 20 musicians.
