    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.

    That same year a few young people from the town of Leopoldsburg in Limburg came up with the idea to organize a music festival. This marked the birth of Pukkelpop, which...

    THE CD


    Pukkelpop continues to be the quintessential music festival! Discovering new bands, watching established acts excel, witnessing legendary reunions: that is what Pukkelpop is all about.

  8. Pukkelpop needs you

    Pukkelpop needs you

    More than 25 years ago “wicked schemes were devised” to organize a small festival “by and for young people”. A quarter of a century later the formula remains unchanged, but the small, unpretentious festival has become one of the best festivals in the world. Next year Pukkelpop will delve into its archives and that’s why it needs your help.
