The first announcement for Friday 18 June!
Discover the third headliner for Graspop Metal Meeting 2027!
Happy Birthday F*cker! With blink-182 and Parkway Drive, we’ve already announced two bombshells for our 30th edition and now we’re adding another heavyweight to next year’s line-up with Faith No More. Meanwhile it’s been 11 years since the band last graced the GMM stage. In 2022 they were unfortunately forced to cancel but now they’re back to headline the North Stage on Friday 18 June.
Faith No More were one of the bands that shaped the alternative metal scene. Never afraid to explore new horizons, the San Francisco-based band around figurehead Mike Patton developed an idiosyncratic blend of metal, funk, punk and rock. Albums such as ‘The Real Thing’, ‘Angel Dust’ and ‘King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime’ were landmarks in alternative music, spawning classic tracks such as ‘Epic’, ‘Midlife Crisis’ and ‘A Small Victory’.
The live stage is probably the environment where this quirky single-mindedness really comes into its own. With Mike Patton at the helm, a Faith No More show can go in any direction and that’s exactly why their live performances are so unpredictable. Eleven years after their last performance here and four years after 2022’s cancellation, they’re finally returning to Dessel next summer to bring the North Stage to a thunderous close on Friday 18 June.
More details about ticket sales for Graspop Metal Meeting 2027 will follow soon so keep an eye on the GMM website and our socials!
