The wait is finally over for the metalheads heading to Dessel this summer. Graspop Metal Meeting has officially dropped the full timetable for its 2026 edition, allowing fans to start planning their weekend and—inevitably—prepare for those heart-breaking stage clashes.

With over 130 bands performing across five stages from June 18th to 21st, the schedule is packed from noon until the early hours of the morning. Whether you’re planning to catch The Offspring’s headline set on Thursday night or waiting for Sabaton to close out the festival on Sunday, the official GMM26 app and website now have all the set times live.

But GMM is about more than just the main stages. The festival has also revealed its “Randanimatie” (side entertainment) program, ensuring the party never stops. The Metal Dome and Classic Rock Café will once again host a massive selection of tribute bands and DJs.

Fans of cover acts are in for a treat, with performances confirmed from Korn Again, Spouky Kids (Marilyn Manson tribute), Deaftones, NIN UK, and Powerslave. For those who want to dance (or mosh) the night away, GMM veterans DJ Carl, DJ Nathachelet, and Rock The Fox will be spinning the heaviest tracks until 4:00 AM.

Other tribute highlights including St. Jimmy’s (Green Day), Pablo Honey (Radiohead), Snaggletooth (Motörhead), and Slip-Not will be taking over the smaller stages to keep the energy high between the massive North and South Stage productions.

Ticket Update:

If you haven’t secured your spot yet, time is running out. Tickets for Thursday, June 18th, and Saturday, June 20th, are now completely sold out, along with all VIP categories. A limited number of Combi, Friday, and Sunday tickets are still available via Ticketmaster, but they aren’t expected to last long.

The festival has also reminded attendees that campsites like Metal Town, Metal Park, and Devil’s Lake are at full capacity. Those looking for a more comfortable stay can still check for remaining FestiTent options at the Boneyard.

Download the official GMM26 app now on iOS and Android to build your personal schedule and receive live updates during the festival weekend!
