First headliner for the 30th edition of Graspop Metal Meeting announced

What’s my age again? Next year GMM is blowing out 30 candles and they’re pleased to drop the first headliner announcement for this anniversary edition: blink-182! With their maiden GMM appearance on Saturday 19 June, the American punk rock band will close out the South Stage in style.

Few bands have had a bigger impact on the modern punk rock scene than blink-182. Since their inception in California back in 1992, Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge and Travis Barker have earned a reputation as one of the genre’s leading lights. Their infectious guitar melodies, tongue-in-cheek approach and recognisable sound built a huge fan base and left an indelible mark on an entire generation of punk rock. Albums such as ‘Enema of the State’, ‘Take Off Your Pants and Jacket’, ‘blink-182’ and ‘ONE MORE TIME…’ are widely regarded as classics in the genre.

Tom Delonge left the band in 2015 but rejoined in 2022. Since then they’ve once again been touring in the original line-up. In 2023 they released their ninth studio album with ‘ONE MORE TIME…’. Ready to scream your lungs out at GMM2027 to ‘All the Small Things’, ‘What’s My Age Again?’, ‘First Date’ and all those other blink-182 hits?

For the 30th time, Graspop Metal Meeting will shake Dessel to its foundations with monumental mosh pits, piledriving riffs, bludgeoning drums and mind-blowing shows. GMM2027: the anniversary bash no metalhead wants to miss out on.
