blink-182, Evanescence, Faith No More, Parkway Drive, Marilyn Manson and Mötley Crüe are all scheduled to perform at the Belgian festival.

Graspop returns to Dessel from 17–20 June 2027, with its sixth headliner, Evanescence, announced on 30 October. Graspop Metal Meeting 2026+1

Thursday: Parkway Drive headline

Parkway Drive will headline the South Stage on Thursday 17 June.

The Australian metalcore band have developed from playing smaller venues into one of the biggest acts in modern heavy music.

Songs including Carrion, Wild Eyes and Vice Grip have become major live favourites.

Their return follows a successful previous Graspop headline appearance in 2023.

Friday: Faith No More and Evanescence

Friday 18 June will feature two major headliners.

Faith No More close the North Stage, while Evanescence headline the South Stage.

Faith No More’s return is particularly significant following the band’s lengthy absence from live performances.

Evanescence are also returning with material from their more recent releases alongside the songs that made them internationally successful, including Bring Me to Life, My Immortal and Going Under. Graspop Metal Meeting 2026

Saturday: blink-182 and Marilyn Manson

Saturday 19 June brings another unusual combination.

blink-182 headline the South Stage, while Marilyn Manson closes the North Stage.

blink-182’s appearance is particularly notable because it represents a major pop-punk booking at a festival historically associated with hard rock and metal.

Their songs All the Small Things, What’s My Age Again? and I Miss You remain enormously recognisable.

Sunday: Mötley Crüe close Graspop

Mötley Crüe will headline Sunday 20 June.

The American hard rock band are returning to Graspop following their 2023 appearance.

Their catalogue includes Dr. Feelgood, Kickstart My Heart and Girls, Girls, Girls.

The booking connects the 2027 edition with the glam-metal era while Parkway Drive and Evanescence provide more contemporary sounds.
