5. Ice Nine kills
Wow, what a show from Ice Nine Kills! The band knows how to convey their complex songs to the audience perfectly, and they also have very great production. If they can deliver one or two more compelling albums, we’ll see a long-awaited new metal festival headliner like Graspop in Ice Nine Kills.
4. Machine head
Last year, Machine Head had to be convinced to seize the opportunity to be headliner, but this year Machine has performed like they’ve never done anything else before. Critics may say it’s a bit overdone, with inflatable theatrical elements and dice in the audience, but the audience proves them wrong. Machine Head came, watched, and conquered, using spectacular fireworks, confetti, and pyrotechnics to top it all off.
3. Pendulum
The pendulum had a good harvest this weekend. They have managed to achieve top 5 rankings on Pinkpop, and this is no different on Graspop. The band destroyed the festival figuratively, but also literally, proving that their raw drumming, played live and complemented by a soulful setlist, is the perfect end to your festival day, also at Graspop 2024.
2. Electrical call boy
With the accessible electronic core of Electric Callboy, fairground beats hit Graspop’s main stage this year. There was a lot to do, but in the end it turned out to be the goal. There was no exodus to metal bands at heart and soul that made the tents unsafe at the same time: the lawn in front of the main stage was packed and cheerfully joined in. Graspop 2024’s feel-good sisterhood moment.
1. Bring me the horizon
After ten years, Bring Me the Horizon has finally returned to Graspop, taking the lead. With a stunning and powerful display, the Brits managed to fully meet expectations. The performance turned out to be everything you’d want from a headliner: tracks with people singing along loudly from far back, a grateful and enthusiastic singer (in the end), and top-notch production. That’s why the performance was crowned first place among the audience’s top 25 performances at Graspop 2024.
