GRASPOP METAL MEETING 2027 Announces MARILYN MANSON As Saturday Headliner

GRASPOP METAL MEETING adds another major name to its 30th anniversary celebrations, confirming MARILYN MANSON as the latest headliner for Saturday, June 19, 2027. The American shock rocker will close the North Stage at the Belgian festival in Dessel, joining blink-182 on Saturday’s bill. With four days of hard rock and metal planned across five stages, the anniversary edition continues to take shape with a lineup spanning different generations and corners of heavy music. MARILYN MANSON’s return also marks his first performance at Graspop since 2018, bringing him back to one of Europe’s established summer metal gatherings.

Since the second half of the 1990s, MARILYN MANSON has remained one of the most recognisable figures in alternative metal, building a distinctive identity around industrial sounds, theatrical presentation, and provocative imagery. Albums such as Antichrist Superstar, Mechanical Animals, and Holy Wood helped establish his place in the scene, producing tracks that became staples of his catalogue. “The Beautiful People,” “The Dope Show,” “Tourniquet,” and “mOBSCENE” remain among his best-known songs, reflecting the different sides of the artist’s signature sound.

Following several turbulent years, Manson began a new chapter with One Assassination Under God – Chapter 1 in 2024, followed by One Assassination Under God – Chapter 2 earlier in 2026, according to the festival announcement. Both releases mark the latest phase of a career that has continued to evolve across industrial, rock, and metal influences. His upcoming appearance in Dessel will bring this newer material to the Graspop stage alongside songs from the albums that established his reputation.

The countdown to GMM2027 continues, with MARILYN MANSON set to close the North Stage on Saturday, June 19. Tickets go on sale Saturday, November 14, at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster, while Mastercard holders can access a presale from Thursday, November 12, at 10 a.m. until Saturday, November 14, at 9 a.m. for festival and VIP tickets. GRASPOP METAL MEETING celebrates 30 years from June 17–20, 2027, in Dessel, Belgium.
