Blink-182 announced as headliner for Graspop Metal Meeting 2027

American pop-punk band Blink-182 has been announced as the first headliner for the 30th anniversary edition of the Graspop Metal Meeting festival. The band, consisting of Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, and Travis Barker, is scheduled to close the South Stage on Saturday, June 19, 2027.

The inclusion of the California-based group marks a notable departure from the festival's traditional heavy metal focus, though the organizers noted that punk rock acts have appeared at the event previously. The 30th-anniversary festival is set to take place from June 17 to June 20, 2027, in Dessel. Information regarding ticket sales and further lineup announcements is expected to be released soon.
