The Graspop Metal Meeting Festival returns for its 28th edition in Dessel, Belgium, from June 19 to June 22, 2025. With five stages and four days filled with Hard Rock and Metal music, it promises to be one of the biggest European festivals of the year. Graspop Metal Meeting 2025 kicks off its announcements with a bang, revealing IRON MAIDEN and SLIPKNOT as the first headliners of the lineup.

On June 19, 2025, IRON MAIDEN, making their 11th appearance at Graspop, will close the festival’s opening night on the South Stage with a spectacular show celebrating their 50th anniversary! As part of their “Run For Your Lives Tour”, they promise to take us back to the golden age of Heavy Metal with a set list spanning their first nine albums, from “Iron Maiden” to “Fear of the Dark.”

One day later, on June 20, 2025, SLIPKNOT will take the South Stage by storm with a set dedicated to their legendary 1999 debut album, “Slipknot.” The American metalcore giants promise to electrify the crowd with their hard-hitting sound and their signature rhythms.
