Many were sceptical when Danish heavy metal band Volbeat first headlined GMM two years ago. It’s unusual to have such a young band top the bill at a metal festival but a blistering show in the pouring rain convinced even the biggest critics. Michael Poulsen’s signature vocals and the band’s trademark mix of classic rock, punk, rockabilly and metal set the arena ablaze. We are pleased to announce that Denmark’s favourite heavy rock gangsters are coming back next year to add another notch to their GMM belt.

VOLBEAT fits in nicely with the rest of our impressive list of headliners. BLACK SABBATH and KING DIAMOND are the main acts on Friday 17 June, VOLBEAT is our first headliner for Saturday 18 June, and IRON MAIDEN & TWISTED SISTER will close the 21st edition of Graspop Metal Meeting on Sunday 19 June.

BLACKZine.com e Tequila Chic presentano:

☆ BLAZE BAYLEY [ex Iron Maiden] - Acoustic show
☆ NICOLO' CAROZZI Delta Blues Experience - Acoustic blues
☆ MORTIMER Dj Set (rock&metal selection)

From 17 through 19 June, the Dessel plains will once again form the backdrop for three days of metal mania. TWISTED SISTER join previously confirmed headliners BLACK SABBATH and IRON MAIDEN and will close proceedings on Sunday19 June on Mainstage 2. After more than four decades, the American heavy metal band around the flamboyant Dee Snider is bowing out with a blistering farewell tour: ‘Forty and Fuck It’!

It also gives us great pleasure to announce the legendary KING DIAMOND. The Danish heavy metal outfit around the eponymous eccentric frontman is releasing a long-awaited new album next year. Brace yourself for pure and unadulterated heavy metal horror, vocal acrobatics and a satanic experience of the highest order. King Diamond is co-headlining with Black Sabbath on Friday 17 June.
