A decade of Graspop Metal Meeting : confirmed headliner IRON MAIDEN
British heavy metal legends IRON MAIDEN have been confirmed as headliners for the 2005 edition of the Graspop Metal Meeting. Talk about a wonderful Xmas present! It's hard to imagine a more fitting conclusion to the first 10 years of Graspop Metal Meeting.
Twenty-five years in the business and Iron Maiden still prove they are one of the best metal bands of all time. Their incredible success is partly due to hard work, a lot of attention to artwork and merchandising, etc. The key factor, however, is their unwavering loyalty to their fans. Throughout the years they have remained true to themselves and have never compromised.
In 2005 they will return to a more classic repertoire and the stage set-up will also hark back to the past.
Already the upcoming tour is one of sold-out venues and major festivals.
Just to illustrate: the start to the announced tour has been phenomenal. The Gothenburg show sold out in a record 2.5 hours. The 51,000 available tickets literally flew out the door, making Iron Maiden the fastest selling rock band ever.
Long-time manager Rod Smallwood is already anticipating Maiden's biggest ever tour in terms of attendance figures.
Graspop is very proud to have them and they will undoubtedly do us proud when they headline the festival on Sunday 26 June 2005.
The 10th edition of the Graspop Metal Meeting is scheduled for Friday 24, Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 June 2005.
The concept remains the same: a three-day metal fest with a main stage and two giant marquees that offers a platform to a wide cross-section of what's hot in the metal world.
Advance sales as of 1 February 2005.
Very shortly: more names and practical information.

Thank you in advance.
