Graspop Metal Meeting 2008

Time to dust off the leathers, denim, studs and maybe even some hairsray. This years Graspop Metal Meeting sees the coming together of some of Metals greatest Genre defining bands along with some of the better up and comers. The small Town of Dessel in Belgium will be host to the most eclectic group of bands its tiny boundaries have ever seen.

At the top of the ranks you see Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Whitesnake and Def Leppard sharing the stage with the likes of Cavalera Conspiracy, 36 Crazyfists, In Flames and Opeth. It seems every branch of the Metal tree has someone hanging from the end.

Hosted between the 27th and 29th of June. It is definately a party most people will want to be a part of. From the bands released so far I can see it is going to be more entertaining than Gene and the lads at Donington ;)

Holy crap, why dont we ever get shows like that over here? And to think that pople over there complain so much about there never being anything to do.
