# Groezrock

Groezrock was een jaarlijks muziekfestival met punkbands, hardcorebands en metalcorebands dat sinds 1992 wordt georganiseerd op de laatste zaterdag van april in het Belgische Meerhout-Gestel. Van een klein festival met 400 bezoekers is het uitgegroeid tot een festival met ±35000 bezoekers uit heel Europa.
Omdat steeds meer mensen gingen kamperen in de omgeving van het festivalterrein is er sinds 1998 een camping. Sinds 2003 zijn er twee podia, het tweede podium Back-to-basics is voor de hardcore-georiënteerde bands. In 2006 duurde het festival voor het eerst twee dagen, dit in verband met de viering van het vijftienjarig bestaan van het festival. In 2009 waren er voor het eerst 3 podia op Groezrock. Vanaf 2011 duurde het festival 2 volledige dagen wegens hun 20-jarig bestaan. De editie in 2018 ging niet door omdat het festival te groot werd voor de vrijwillige organisatie. Er werd besloten kleinschaliger te opereren. De editie in 2019 trok minder publiek dan gehoopt, waarna ook de editie van 2020 niet doorging.
