[gabrielomachado]

i'm thinking of these headliners

 

Thursday: Metallica / Lamb of God

Friday: Slayer / Volbeat

Saturday: Sabaton / Korn

Sunday: Iron Maiden / Within Temptation

No Belgian date on the 2025 Iron Maiden tour which is interesting 

[theshielder]

yeah Iron maiden will come the thursday or friday 

[SweetJesus]

Thursday, they won’t play 3 days in a row

[Archi]

It makes them sure at 99.99%. Same for Halestorm and Avatar.

[SweetJesus]

Oh no, Metallica ruled out, again 🤣

[Archi]

Sabaton out. Exclusive at Sweden Rock. Good news!

Even celebrating the absence of a band, I struggle to understand...

I'm happy they won't be there just because I don't like the band. Just my own opinion. But I'm still surprised they play Sweden Rock as exclusive, I was they would have headlined Graspop next year.

Slipknot confirmed 😴 

[Floyd_Ams]

Now waiting for Korn to be confirmed too and then it can get interesting... 🙂

In any case, very happy with the Iron Maiden announcement despite the fact that we knew for a while. Always nice to have it confirmed.

Iron Maiden bringing Phantom of the Opera to stages... bliss.

[theshielder]

Korn will bring the North Stage to a close on Saturday 21 June

Till Linderman closing the North stage on the Sunday

[NorthernSoul52]

Was wondering if he would be deemed big enough solo. Apparently so.

I saw a few weeks ago that he announced arenas and was surprised by that as well. I think North stage is usually the 2nd name of the day so I assume there'll be some (probably slightly) bigger name than him - like... Scorpions or Sabaton 😐

I wonder if it’d down to lack of options to be honest 😬

Outside of Germany he’s only doing 1 show per country which is probably why he’s able to do arena shows and makes him look bigger than he maybe is. Lots of bands could arguably do the same.

Might well be the case. I forget - or more accurately, try to ignore because it depresses me - that public transportation links in mainland Western Europe are both fairly efficient and significantly cheaper than here.

 

If I could get down and back from Yorkshire to London for a nominal amount, then I'd be down with alarming frequency. But I basically have to rob the local HSBC to vaguely get near Grantham these days.

Powerwolf added as North stage headliner on Thursday to pair with Maiden

[SweetJesus]

No more free camping, 35€ for boneyard

Graspop has two mainstages per day, Lindeman is one of the sunday headliners. 

 

They are still missing a headliner on the saturday and one on sunday
