Graspop adds new names to 2012 lineup!
Earlier this week the Graspop organization announced that they would release some new names for the 2012 lineup, today is the day!
On the Graspop Facebook page Possessed, Young Guns, Jon Oliva's Pain, Kyuss Lives and Megadeth were comfirmed with the following messages:
"POSSESSED has been on our wish list for a very long time and this year we’ve done it: they are coming to GMM2012! Frontman Jeff Becerra nearly lost his life in a shooting in 1989, leaving him paralysed from the waist down. He fought back and, against all odds, resumed lead singer duties. Nearly a quarter century later, Possessed and Jeff Becerra are still brimming with energy, wheelchair or not."
"The GMM lineup has always been a mixture of household names and promising new acts, and Young Guns definitely belong to the latter category. If you were impressed with Bring Me the Horizon and Escape the Fate at last year’s festival, then Young Guns should be right up your alley."
"Oh yeah! Some of you already knew! Jon Oliva, the man with the iron voice and still widely regarded as the ultimate Savatage figurehead, is returning to Dessel for episode number four. The Mountain King has made a solemn promise to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the legendary Hall of the Mountain King album; more than enough reason not to miss out on Jon Oliva's Pain! "
"With Kyuss Lives, we are pleased to add yet another first-timer to the bill. In the late 80s and early 90s, this mythical band paved the way for the likes of Queens of the Stone Age. Their two sold-out shows in the AB in Brussels last year shook the house to its foundations so we’re in for a real treat."
"And we have a winner!! After a seven year hiatus we are proud to welcome back Dave Mustaine & Co to our festival. Megadeth is the second of the Big Four in thrash to be confirmed for GMM2012, and based on their latest album Th1rt3en, they are well and truly back to their old form!"
