The 2018 edition of Graspop Metal Meeting is going to be a special one. The festival will be one day longer for this year only, and will take place from Thursday 21 to Sunday 24 June in Dessel. Musically it's also going to be a big year, with headliners Guns N’ Roses, Iron Maiden, Volbeat and Ozzy Osbourne. Dessel is also very excited about the appearance of Ghost. Papa Emeritus Zero and his Swedish Nameless Ghouls present their new live album on Thursday. Proving that he can handle himself solo, Jonathan Davis (frontman of KoRn) will also play on the first festival day. Arch Enemy played a sold-out show in Trix yesterday and are keen to do the same again on Saturday's Main Stage. Brothers-in-arms Mike Patton & Dave Lombardo are reunited in Dead Cross, the hardcore punk supergroup whose debut album blew away all comers last year. The band is set to perform on Sunday.
