With Mariah Carey as its unofficial patron saint, Pukkelpop kicks off the new festival season with the legendary PKP Wishlist. Starting Monday 8 December, Pukkelpoppers can submit their three must-see artists for the 2026 line-up. The Wishlist has been around since 1985 and still generates a yearly tsunami of suggestions. The first 5,000 entries also earn an exclusive Pukkelpop sticker, the Holy Grail of PKP collectibles.

Back by overwhelming demand: Wish Your Wish. A concept where festivalgoers can freely share their ultimate Pukkelpop dream. Anything goes. From a prime spot on Camping Chill to free food and drink tickets, a backstage tour, a golf cart ride across the festival grounds, a photo on the Main Stage, an all-you-can-eat moment in Food Wood, or even a personalised shout-out on Pukkelpop’s socials. Pukkelpop will pick the boldest, funniest, or most creative wishes and try to make them happen. Submissions are open until Friday 9 January 2026 via www.pukkelpop.be/wishlist

Pukkelpop ‘26 takes place from 20 to 23 August on the Kiewit festival grounds in Hasselt.
