Saturday 19 June brings another unusual combination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
blink-182 headline the South Stage, while Marilyn Manson closes the North Stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their songs All the Small Things, What’s My Age Again? and I Miss You remain enormously recognisable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce will headline Sunday 20 June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The American hard rock band are returning to Graspop following their 2023 appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their catalogue includes Dr. Feelgood, Kickstart My Heart and Girls, Girls, Girls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The booking connects the 2027 edition with the glam-metal era while Parkway Drive and Evanescence provide more contemporary sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Graspop Metal Meeting takes place from Thursday 17 June to Sunday 20 June 2027 in Dessel, Belgium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
