The 27th edition of the Graspop Metal Meeting is taking place this weekend (June 20-23) in Dessel, Belgium.
On Wednesday, organizers issued the following update: "The parking lots have suffered from the wet weather. Therefore, the parking areas around the festival park will remain closed throughout the festival weekend. Below are the alternatives to reach the festival smoothly. The Boneyard campsite is also affected by the heavy rainfall, preventing us from opening part of the campsite. We advise day visitors not to stay overnight at this campsite and to head home in the evening.The programming of the other festival days is not affected. The festival grounds are in good condition. The Graspop Metal Meeting organization is ready to give it their all for 4 days! We thank everyone for their understanding in this unpredictable situation. Stay metal, stay safe & take care!"
Rafael Salomon has contacted BraveWords to share video uploaded to his The Metalheads Way YouTube channel.
