Graspop Metal Meeting 2026 in Belgium — runs Jun 18–21, 2026. The line-up has 135 acts across 4 days spread over 5 stages.
Four days in Dessel that effectively function as the calendar event for European heavy music. The 2026 lineup is one of Graspop’s biggest, with Iron Maiden’s spiritual peers in Sabaton, Megadeth, Anthrax, Volbeat and Alice Cooper sharing the top of the bill alongside modern flagships like Bring Me The Horizon, Babymetal and Architects. Heavier subgenres are taken seriously rather than sidelined, with sets from Cult Of Luna, Wolves In The Throne Room, Decapitated, Cradle of Filth and Mastodon, and the festival’s punk and hardcore corners get Sex Pistols ft. Frank Carter, Pennywise and The Offspring. Add the Marquee stage’s habit of being where new metal bands break to a continental audience, and you get the closest thing Europe has to a centralised heavy-music exchange.
