Graspop Metal Meeting

**Graspop Metal Meeting** on metallimusiikkifestivaali Desselissä, Belgiassa, missä se on järjestetty aina vuodesta 1996 asti. Tapahtuma on kolmipäiväinen ja ajoittuu kesäkuun viimeiselle viikolle. Festivaalialueen pienestä koosta huolimatta festivaali vetää paljon kansainvälisiä katsojia. Kävijämäärä on ollut viime vuosina 75&nbsp;000–80&nbsp;000. Tapahtuma ei ollut alun perin metallimusiikkiin keskittynyt vaan hyvin paikallinen popfestivaali. Graspop on kasvanut kahdessa vuosikymmenessä merkittäväksi ja kansainvälisesti tunnetuksi metallimusiikkitapahtumaksi Euroopassa.
