Knocked Loose replace Twisted Sister at Graspop 2026!

Graspop Metal Meeting 2026

Health issues are forcing Dee Snider to cancel TWISTED SISTER’S show at the 29th edition of Graspop Metal Meeting. No need to panic though, organisers have found the perfect replacement – On Friday 19th June, KNOCKED LOOSE will close out the North Stage!

Twisted Sister released the following statement:

Due to the sudden and unexpected resignation of Twisted Sister’s lead singer Dee Snider brought on by a series of health challenges, the band has been forced to cancel all shows scheduled, beginning April 25th in Sao Paulo Brazil and continuing through the summer. The future of Twisted Sister will be determined in the next several weeks.”

Last year KNOCKED LOOSE obliterated the South stage so we thought we’d invite them for an encore. Since their maiden appearance at Graspop Metal Meeting 2018, the Kentucky natives have grown into one of the world’s hardest-hitting and most popular metal bands. Their unique sound revolves around Bryan Garris’ relentless vocals. In 2024, they unleashed their album ‘You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To’, featuring the Grammy-nominated single ‘Suffocate’. This year they’re joining Metallica on the road in Europe but they couldn’t resist wrapping up proceedings on the North Stage at #GMM26 on Friday 19 June. Chaos guaranteed.
