History: Belgium Graspop Metal Festival

History This Belgium festival first took place in 1986 as a music festival for local acts. After a few disappointing runs the organizers decided to make it specific for Metal only and was hence renamed as “Graspop Metal Meeting”. It turned into a 3 day event with camping in 2004 due to demand and has since recorded attendance of over 100,000 and featured such awesome metal .acts as Iron Maiden, Ozzy Osbourne, Aerosmith, Heaven and Hell, Korn, Slayer, Life of Agony, Black Label Society & Axl Rose.
