Line-up

Pukkelpop: Alt-Rock-Punk-Pop + Fringe

Pukkelpop: one of Europe’s largest & most popular alt-underground-progressive music gatherings; founded in 1985 by the Young Humanists of Leopoldsburg as a bleep of an event that turned into a ginormous multi-genre 4-day bash for 200,000+ fans, uniting fringe theatre with an eclectic line-up of 200+ global artists from hard-core Iron Maiden punk-pop-rock-metal and Major Lazer electro-dancehall fusion to Björk-style singer-songwriter performances on 10 open-air stages. PKP has yoga, gourmet eats, Petit Bazar with early Christmas shopping & crazy acts in a cosy corner of a meadow, Salon Fou with fringe extravaganzas, a mega Boiler Party night + free camping in the sprawling woodland at Kempische Steenweg between Kiewit and Hasselt in Belgium.

About

Pukkelpop: Alt-Rock-Punk-Pop + Fringe

PKP Belgium still holds, at its core, the values which it started with when it was founded in 1985 by Humanistic Youth of Leopoldsburg, to provide something for everyone and look towards the future of the youth: Baraque Futur brings together keynote speakers and audience participation to talk about climate change, technology, food, space travel, ecology, green energy and everything in between; Cookpit demonstrates youth cooking with culinary students in a sit down setting, but also provides 25 food trucks in Food Wood with a bit of everything for those on the go.

Metallica to Daft Punk

The worlds biggest acts turnout to this progressive and contemporary gathering, seeing the likes of big name alt-rock and metal bands like Foo Fighters, Radiohead, Metallica, Sonic Youth, Ramones, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The xx, Iron Maiden, The Prodigy and Daft Punk.

Camp Chill + Hot Showers

This is not glamping, but a relaxed experience within itself, with three different sites that offer ’Katerfit’ dancers with exercises set to an 80s & 90s beat, ‘melodic mantra’ with yoga, sports like badminton, volleyball, football and bumper ball, campsite food trucks, recycled camping shops, Pukklepop FM, a bar and perhaps most notably: FREE hot showers!

Boiler Party

The pre-party-party kicks off with the loudest DJs and top Belgian bands on the Wednesday in the Boiler Room – fans should expect to get involved in a massive gathering and a lot of strobe lights.

Pukklepop is an alt-underground-progressive-eco-camp with humanistic love!

Pukkelpop Dates

Season & Weather

Season: Summer
Temperature: 13 to 22 °C

Hasselt weather in August ranges from cool to warm to quite hot, and although it is often sunny with clear skies, the region is also prone to rain and even storms. Since Pukkelpop is an outdoor festival with camping, prepare for both hot/dry and cold/wet extremes by packing layerable clothes, light water-resistant jackets, comfy footwear, waterproof camping gear, and warm sleeping bags or blankets. Avoid the hassle of packing by renting a tent & gear on-site or booking a camp bed in one of the PKP group tents.
