GRASPOP METAL MEETING 2027 Announces FAITH NO MORE As Third Headliner

GRASPOP METAL MEETING has revealed FAITH NO MORE as the third headliner for its 30th anniversary edition, adding another influential name to an already impressive 2027 lineup. Following the announcements of BLINK-182 and PARKWAY DRIVE, the San Francisco alternative metal pioneers will return to Dessel, Belgium, to headline the North Stage on Friday, June 18, 2027. Their upcoming appearance marks a long-awaited return to the festival, 11 years after their last performance at Graspop and four years after their scheduled 2022 appearance was cancelled. With their distinctive sound and unpredictable live reputation, FAITH NO MORE bring another major highlight to the anniversary celebration.

Fronted by the unmistakable MIKE PATTON, FAITH NO MORE helped reshape alternative music by refusing to remain within conventional genre boundaries. The band developed a distinctive blend of metal, funk, punk, and rock, creating a sound that stood apart from their contemporaries. Albums such as The Real Thing, Angel Dust, and King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime became landmarks in alternative music, delivering enduring tracks including “Epic,” “Midlife Crisis,” and “A Small Victory.”

FAITH NO MORE’s live performances have long reflected the band’s unconventional approach, with Patton’s presence contributing to shows that can shift direction without warning. Their return to Graspop carries added significance after the disappointment of their cancelled 2022 appearance. Now confirmed for the 2027 edition, the band will bring their unpredictable stage presence to the North Stage on Friday, June 18, giving festivalgoers another chance to experience one of alternative metal’s most influential acts.

GRASPOP METAL MEETING celebrates its 30th anniversary from June 17–20, 2027, in Dessel, Belgium, with four days of hard rock and metal across five stages. With FAITH NO MORE joining BLINK-182 and PARKWAY DRIVE as the festival’s announced headliners, the anniversary lineup continues to take shape. Further details about ticket sales will be announced soon. Keep an eye on the official Graspop Metal Meeting website for updates as the countdown to 30 Years Beyond Metal continues.
