Our neighbors in Belgium are known for having excellent taste in music. That’s exactly why we’re already hyped for Graspop Metal Meeting 2026 this June — the biggest rock and metal festival in Belgium. Heading there yourself? Then this guide has all the essential info you need to prepare for the weekend.
Graspop 2026: Date, Location & Tickets
This year’s Graspop takes place from June 18 to June 21 in Dessel, Belgium, around 40 kilometers from Antwerp.
At the moment, you can still grab full weekend tickets or Friday day tickets. But be quick: availability is limited. All other day tickets have already sold out. You can find an overview of all available ticket options here.
Line-up & Timetable
As always, the Graspop line-up is absolutely stacked. This year’s headliners include The Offspring, Volbeat, Bring Me The Horizon and Sabaton. On top of that, fans can look forward to performances from Bad Omens, Architects, Electric Callboy, Limp Bizkit, Knocked Loose, President, The Plot In You, Lionheart and many more. You can check out the full line-up on the official festival poster:
The timetable for all four festival days has already been released as well. That means you can already start planning which bands you want to see — and when to squeeze in food breaks, drinks or bathroom trips. Proper festival planning is essential, after all. You can find the complete timetable here.
Travel, Parking & Accommodation
The festival grounds can be reached in several different ways. The organizers even recommend arriving by bicycle — hey, this is Belgium after all! Of course, you can also get there by car or public transport. Depending on where you’re traveling from and which option you prefer, you’ll find a detailed overview here.
Whether you’re camping on-site, commuting daily or only attending for one day, there are different accommodation and parking options available. Multiple camping areas and additional lodging categories are offered, although many are already sold out. You can check all currently available options here.
Entry, Festival Organization & Festival Grounds
A great festival experience always depends on good organization, and Graspop’s organizers have clearly put a lot of effort into making everything run as smoothly as possible. All important information regarding entry, check-in procedures and the festival grounds can be found neatly summarized here. Make sure to check entry times and check-in information in advance, especially if you only have a day ticket.
Of course, accessible entrances and facilities are also available. You can find all related information on this overview page.
Food, Drinks & Payment
When it comes to food and drinks, Graspop has pretty much everything you could ask for. There are plenty of food stands and beverage options throughout the festival grounds, so you definitely won’t go hungry or thirsty during the weekend. Like most major festivals, Graspop now uses a cashless payment system to make purchases on-site much easier. You can find more information here.
