  1. PUKKELPOP 25!

    PUKKELPOP 25!


    The year is 1985. Boys Noize turned three years old. Bloc Party’s Kele blew out four candles. Selah Sue, Uffie and Ellie Goulding were not even born yet.

    THE HEADPHONES


    To mark its 25th anniversary, Pukkelpop launches its exclusive limited edition Pukkelpop headphones.

They match the colour scheme of the Pukkelpop 25years logo and come in a specially designed Pukkelpop box.
