One Love
On this day, exactly five years ago, Pukkelpop was hit by a heavy storm. At different spots, on and around the festival grounds, we want to pause and remember. For this, we chose butterflies as a symbol. You'll see them spread their wings in the line of trees at the Castello site and in the golden flag at the Pukkelpop Café. Near the Pukkelpop Monument, next to the church of Kiewit, there’s a beautiful floral artwork with colourful butterflies. Read more

BARAQUE FUTUR: THE EXPERIMENT IS THE HEADLINER

Camping without lugging + double-check your ticket!
The trek to a campsite can be long and strenuous: in addition to a giant backpack you’re also lugging around an unwieldy tent and an overloaded cooler, and you’ve no hands free to catch a Pikachu if you just happen to spot one. We feel for you, we really do. So how about this for a perfect solution: simply order your beer here! Four wonderfully cool 50cl beer cans, just chilling at the campsite counter waiting for you to collect them. Also, quickly check to make sure you’ve still got your ticket(s)! Read more
