Festivalsite & 24h zone
Lodged in between the festival arena and the campsite there is a large 24h ZONE with booze tents, toilet blocks, an info stand, token stands, police post; a restaurant and lots of side animation. And when the guitar violence has died down, the Metaldome will host the afterparty till the break of dawn.
The 24h zone is open around the clock (or justabout anyway). The 24h zone is closed between 5 and 7 am to get things ready for the rest of the festival day.
The festival site opens its doors every day on 10am en closes after the last performance.
Food & drinks
Across the entire festival grounds you will find food stands offering French fries, pastas, pizza, Mexican food, pita, waffles, ice cream, sandwiches, fruit, etc. There’s something to suit all tastes!
All you vegetarians out there have not been forgotten. There are stands with fruit, vegetarian pastas, noodles with vegetables, etc.
The bars are located in the centre of the festival grounds so you never have to walk very far if you want a drink. Graspop Metal Meeting wouldn’t be a genuine Belgian festival without our traditional Belgian beer! The BELGIAN BEER CAFE,in the 24h zone, is open for business throughout the festival.

Graspop tokens
Food and drinks are paid with GMM tokens. A GMM token pays for soft drinks, cold beers, French fries, pizza, pasta... in short, everything that qualifies as food and drink. One Graspop token will cost 2.25 euros in the festival arena. Graspop tokens are available from the token stands in both the festival arena and the 24h zone. You will also be able to buy the tokens from vending machines, so the choice is yours. Graspop tokens are also available in presale. You can buy the so-called BOOZEBAGS.
Recycling
On the festival grounds and the campsite a special collection point will be installed for the recycling of empty drink cups. Collect 24 cups and get a free drink token or... collect 50 drink cups and make your choice from a collection of fun gadgets. You’ll be helping to keep the festival site clean while enjoying a free beer! |

Toilets
The toilet facilities are non-paying and are scattered across the festival grounds. Please respect our toilet facilities and keep them clean. There are also accessible toilets for wheelchair users. Urinating is only allowed in the designated toilet areas. The water from the wash basins at the festival grounds is drinkable!
Cash points
There’s a cash dispenser in the centre of Dessel. Nevertheless, it’s a good idea to simply bring enough cash for the entire weekend.
Lockers
Graspop Metal Meeting continues to improve the quality of the festival for the visitors. Also this year, we are providing optimal protection, so that you can keep your possessions under lock and key for one day, or for the entire duration of the fesitval. You will find the lockers in the 24h-zone area.
Info Point & police post
Looking for information on the train schedule, the shuttle service, the line-up, the emergency services…? The info team will assist you to the best of their ability! If you’ve lost something (or perhaps even someone), report it to the infodesk! All items in the lost and found bag are taken to the police post at the end of each festival day.
Theft, material damage, loss of property … report it to the police post at the 24h-zone.
