Is this Europe’s HEAVIEST festival?! | GRASPOP METAL MEETING (GMM) 2024

[@danthebeatles]

My lady lost her dad 3 weeks ago. Rob's tribute to his dad was beautiful and gave her a glimmer of hope. She said "it must get easier.." after he was able to say that stuff with a smile on his face. Fantastic episode lads, cheers!

[@TPD]

very sad to hear. i hope she is ok. it does get easier. sending love x

[@nigeltrebilco938]

Totally apologies sorry for my comments understand

[@petershortland478]

​@nigeltrebilco938 it was a beautiful comment. I lost my Dad before just before Covid anyway me and Dad had this love for Scorpions when we saw them at Ramblin Man 2015 he instantly loved them unfortunately passed away in 2019 so once Scorpions announced their Wembley show for June I had to go for Dad and they was amazing

You should put Alcatraz on your radar, also in Belgium. Kind of a more intimate Graspop inside a zombie prison with Mad Max characters.

Thanks for talking about your dad, Rob, and for doing so with a smile on your face. I lost my dad in 2010 when I was 15 years old, and ever since I've not been able to talk about it with even my closest friends and family. It's so great to see you talk about your music memories of your dad, and makes me realise it doesn't all have to be doom and gloom when we think about family members who are no longer with us.

[@benstephenson8835]

Been to Download 5 times and Graspop 3 times. If Graspop wasn’t such a hassle to get to (flights/ferry etc) I’d go a lot more as the organisation is just so much better than Download. The Belgians know how to get shit done.

[@TPD]

yeah its just the awkward commute

[@Poemwriter_Angelo]

I have been there 3 times. if you decide to stay there 1 day or 4 days.. Its gonna be a time you remember for the rest of your life. And people are really kind and friendly there. everyone is always looking out for each other and people like to help where they can. it feels like a very united community. and i really love being a part of it.

You guys should check out Hellfest in France, Obscene Extreme in the Czechia, or Tolminator (formally Metal Days) in Slovenia. Hellfest goes all out with themes and attention to detail and is absolutely massive now. the other two are smaller fests but are well worth it.

Even the crew camping which we passed was partially flooded.
