Just one more week to go to #GMM26!
Ready for a banging metal weekend?
In exactly one week’s time the floodgates will open as #GMM26 kicks off! For the 29th time, the metal legions will descend upon the Dessel plains and unleash hell on earth. Here’s a round-up of useful information to help ensure a smooth festival experience.
Plan your trip to #GMM26 🚲
By now you know that the smoothest ways to travel to Graspop Metal Meeting are by bike, train or public transport. Festival-goers who use one of these modes of transport are rewarded with a Green Coin.
Coming to the festival by train? That’s a great idea because Belgian railway company SNCB/NMBS will be providing extra capacity during the festival. The nearest train station is Mol, where free shuttle buses will be waiting to take you to the festival grounds. Use the Event Train Ticket to travel to #GMM26 at a reduced fare. Please note that your festival ticket is not a valid train ticket.
You can also ask a friend to drop you off in the Kiss & Ride zone at Mol Station and then board one of the free shuttle buses to the festival site.
Don’t forget your camping and car park tickets ⛺🚙
You need a separate camping ticket to spend the night at campsites Boneyard or The Crypt. Buy yours now through our website.
Coming by car? Then remember to order your car park ticket in advance because they’re not available on site. Car park tickets are €20 per vehicle. Attention: if you leave the car park you’ll have to buy a new ticket. In other words, if you come by car every day, you’ll need a new car park ticket for each festival day. Be sure to check our website to find out which parking zone you should buy a ticket for!
#GMM26 Merch pre-order 👕
Not looking forward to long queues? Want to collect your merchandise at your convenience? Pre-order your official GMM merchandise now and collect your purchase at the official merch stand opposite the festival entrance.
Merch pre-orders will remain available during the festival, while stocks last. Prefer to browse the collection on site and choose your favorites there? The choice is yours.
Don't forget you need a valid GMM festival ticket to collect your order.
