GRASPOP METAL MEETING 2027 Announces PARKWAY DRIVE As Second Headliner

GRASPOP METAL MEETING has revealed PARKWAY DRIVE as the second headliner for its landmark 30th edition, adding another major name to the festival’s 2027 lineup. Following the announcement of BLINK-182 as the first headliner, the Australian metalcore giants are set to return to Dessel, Belgium, on Thursday, June 17, 2027, closing the South Stage. After their explosive headline performance at Graspop in 2023, WINSTON McCALL and company will once again take over the festival grounds, bringing their crushing sound and commanding live show to one of Europe’s biggest metal gatherings.

Since forming in Byron Bay in 2003, PARKWAY DRIVE have grown from the Australian underground into one of modern metal’s most established live acts. Albums including Killing with a Smile, Horizons, Deep Blue, and Ire helped shape their rise, delivering a catalogue that continues to resonate with fans around the world. Tracks such as “Carrion,” “Wild Eyes,” and “Vice Grip” have become live staples, turning festival crowds into enormous, moving mosh pits.

Their 2023 appearance at GRASPOP METAL MEETING was among the weekend’s standout performances, with the band delivering the kind of high-impact set that leaves a lasting impression. Their return in 2027 promises another night of relentless riffs, pounding drums, and the collective energy that has made PARKWAY DRIVE a fixture on major festival stages. Closing the South Stage on Thursday, the band will be one of the central attractions of the anniversary edition.

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 BLINK-182 and PARKWAY DRIVE now confirmed as headliners, anticipation is building for a milestone edition featuring the international heavy music scene’s biggest names. More information about ticket sales will be announced soon. Keep an eye on the festival’s official website for further updates.
