Festival Fair | Metal Market | DIDO's DEN

Rare CDs, cool earrings, dry socks… the Festival Fair and Metal Market are packed with hidden treasures and unique finds. This year, the Festival Fair welcomes several new stands offering unique handmade products. Many of these new discoveries can be found in the area between the Boneyard and the Metal Market, so make sure to take a stroll through there as well. You can even have a custom-made Scottish kilt tailored to your specifications. Besides CDs, DVDs, vinyl and metal merch, the Metal Market will also feature handmade jewellery and artisanal clothing for the first time ever. Official tour shirts from the bands playing #GMM26 will be available at the large merch stand on the corner of the Metal Plaza.

Dido’s Den will also return to the Festival Fair. This year’s edition includes a real tattoo studio, a piercing studio, a barber (also for the ladies) and chair massages for those in need of a refresh. Open from Wednesday 17 June at 3 pm, reservations on site! Please note: on Wednesday, Dido’s Den will only be accessible via the Boneyard.

Food Truck zone

Our fabulous food trucks serve a lot of goodies at the Jupilers Beers & Stories tent. We try to keep the range as diverse as possible and to cater to those who prefer gluten-free, lactose-free, veggie and vegan food.

Ducks of t(h)rash

A true festival classic: the duck fishing booth! This year, you can spend a Green Coin at Ducks of T(h)rash and try your luck fishing for ducks. Reel in a GMM souvenir or go for the top prizes: a Fast Lane pass for the signing sessions or access to the Skydeck.

The Green Coin Corner is back this year as well. Green Coins are the only accepted currency here. Exchange your Green Coins for all kinds of fun rewards, including exclusive #GMM26 gadgets, a free ride on the Ferris wheel or a spin in the bumper cars. 

Travel to the festival by bike or public transport, or hand in a full PMD bag at your campsite, and earn Green Coins!

Signing sessions

CDs, t-shirts, body parts... it's all signed at the signing booth to the right of the Main Stages. Keep an eye on the info screens to know which band is holding a session.

Classic Rock Café

For non-stop hard rock hits and video clips you have to go to a café. Open until late hours. And with a bit of luck you will be treated to a performance by the better cover band..
