Graspop Metal Meeting has announced 102 new acts for its 2027 edition, festileaks.com reported, expanding the bill for the Belgian festival’s 30th anniversary to 110 confirmed names—eight headliners plus a deep undercard. The reveal, made November 6, 2026, fills out the lineup for the June 17–20, 2027 gathering in Dessel and follows the earlier announcement of the festival’s eight headliners.
The 102-name drop dwarfs the eight headliner slots announced in the weeks prior. dansendeberen.be reported that Helloween, named the final headliner on Wednesday, completed a slate that also includes Parkway Drive, Evanescence, Faith No More, blink-182, Marilyn Manson, Mötley Crüe, and Slash ft. Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators across the four days. rtv.be noted that Helloween, seen as a groundlayer of European power metal, has performed with three frontmen since singer Michael Kiske and singer-guitarist Kai Hansen returned in 2017. Their songs ‘I Want Out’, ‘Future World’ and ‘Eagle Fly Free’ became classics within the genre, rtv.be reported.
