Following the explosive reveal of Limp Bizkit, Megadeth, and Within Temptation for Thursday, Graspop Metal Meeting 2026 continues its reign of metal dominance with another massive announcement. The festival has confirmed its Friday, June 19 headliners — Volbeat will close the South Stage, while Twisted Sister take command of the North Stage, joined by alternative metal giants Breaking Benjamin for their long-awaited Belgian debut.
The Danish titans Volbeat are set to deliver a powerhouse performance packed with their signature blend of rockabilly swagger, hard rock riffs, and melodic metal fury. With their ninth studio album God of Angels Trust released earlier this year, fans can expect a setlist stacked with new anthems alongside their timeless classics — a show guaranteed to keep the Dessel crowd moving from start to finish.
Meanwhile, heavy metal legends Twisted Sister return to Graspop to celebrate an incredible 50 years of rock ‘n’ roll. Fronted by the unstoppable Dee Snider, the band’s appearance on the North Stage promises a night of pure nostalgia and raw energy as they roar through hits like We’re Not Gonna Take It and I Wanna Rock in what’s sure to be one of the festival’s most iconic moments.
Adding to the excitement, Breaking Benjamin join the lineup for their first-ever performance in Belgium. Known for their emotionally charged alternative metal sound and hits such as The Diary of Jane and I Will Not Bow, their inclusion brings yet another powerful dimension to Friday’s lineup — ensuring a night that will resonate across generations of heavy music fans.
