King Diamond — Live Concert at Graspop Metal Meeting Festival, Dessel, Belgium, 2016

In June 2016, Danish heavy metal legend King Diamond—led by King Diamond and his signature falsetto—delivered an epic set at Graspop Metal Meeting, one of Europe's largest metal festivals in Dessel, Belgium. The June 17 main stage performance, part of the Songs for the Dead tour, featured the full lineup—with Andy LaRocque and Mike Wead on guitars, Matt Thompson on drums, and Pontus Egberg on bass—presenting Mercyful Fate classics and King Diamond solo repertoire. Captured professionally, the show caught the theatricality and power: stage setups with skulls, inverted crosses, and King's makeup, while riffs and falsetto sparked chaos in the crowd. This gig—a pure occult metal ritual—sounded as powerful as ever with "Abigail", "Welcome Home", "The Family Ghost", and "Come to the Sabbath".
