A name that matters in Europe

Pukkelpop is the Belgian alternative festival: four days in Kiewit, near Hasselt, where rock, pop, electro and hip-hop share about ten scenes. Since 1985, it is the end-of-the-summer meeting of the young European generations.

Named at the European Festival Awards 2025 in the Line-Up of the Year category. The European Festival Awards, created by Yourope and ESNS, distinguish European festivals in Groningen every year in about fifteen categories — the best big, medium and small festivals, the best programming, ecology, security and commitment.
